PAC-MAN™ and the Ghostly Adventures

[i]~7.3 hours to achieve 100% completion[/i] [h1]PAC-MAN™ and the Ghostly Adventures is surprisingly good![/h1] It feels bizarre to review a game that is no-longer for sale (delisted due to expired licensing). However, I was pleasantly surprised with this game, and figured it was worth sharing my thoughts for those who are somehow able to access it. [h1]Thoughts?[/h1] PAC-MAN™ and the Ghostly Adventures is a [b]simple[/b] 3D Platformer, where you explore linear levels, utilise power-ups, and...chomp ghosts! The story is pretty standard, and the final boss is [i]laughably[/i] anti-climatic, but I enjoyed my time with this game! It's nowhere near as engaging as something like Super Mario Odyssey or A Hat in Time, but you have to keep-in-mind the target demographic when comparing this game to others. Just because a game doesn't compete with the titans, doesn't mean it has nothing of value. This game achieves its goal of being a simple 3D Platformer with a younger audience in mind, while still being enjoyable to older players. After playing the first level or so, I wasn't expecting anything fancy, but this game definitely becomes more interesting as it goes on. I'd credit that to the drip-feeding of new power-ups, the way the levels incorporate them, and the verticality in the level design. [h1]Origin?[/h1] This game is particularly interesting for the fact that it's based off of 2013's TV show under the same name. The show is a re-boot of the PAC-MAN series, created in partnership with Disney. It's a by-gone era, and I think the internet's disdain for PAC-MAN and the Ghostly Adventures is honestly very cringe and lame [strike](erm he has teeth, next they'll make his arms blue)[/strike], because the show itself is harmless. It's highly unlikely that Ghostly Adventures was intended to replace the original iconic PAC-MAN design permanently, but rather co-exist next to it, sort of as a stepping-stone for younger audiences. (Similar to how Sonic Boom and its redesigns were never meant to replace the actual mainline Sonic designs). [h1]Criticism?[/h1] -It's delisted. I know the license is never going to be renewed thanks to this era of PAC-MAN being over, but the game is worth playing if you're looking for a time-kill. -It's capped to 30fps. Easy to overlook for me, but may be a deal-breaker for some. -Its sequel never came to PC; I'm gonna guess it has something to do with people blindly hating the franchise. -Final boss was over before it started. [h1]Conclusion?[/h1] It's a good game! Again, the game is pretty simple and isn't close to something like Super Mario Odyssey, but there's a good time to be had here if you have an afternoon to spare and enjoy PAC-MAN, no matter what form he takes on. Absolutely worth playing if you can borrow it through family-share, or find a copy through yar-har methods..!
