Great to game burn some time, multiplayer even more so. Again goes to show you don't need a RTX 5090/Mega graphics to have an enjoyable game.

I have played almost every iteration of Pac-man that there is. This is my favorite. It pays homage to the classics by using graphics and sounds related to those older games but re-imagined as a constant runner. The bad guy that you're constantly running from is the kill screen from the original Pac-man arcade. It's what you would get if you were playing the original but instead of playing on a fixed grid it just goes on and on forever. The only limit is your ability.

One of the very few games I've played on mobile and I liked it there and I liked it here but its pacman as an endless runner high score chase and well.. those old arcade genes still get the job done in spurts.

I did the 100% on Xbox, too: It's fun, and it's the definitive way to play Pac-man. Endless maze, 256 glitch, different grids, different powerups and goals, incredibly addictive until it gets a bit boring/tedious with the final achievement- You either have the kind of "wiring" for this stuff, or you don't... Haha. Pick it up when it's onsale for like $2.50.
