Pac-Man World Re-Pac Reviews
While it’s not a pivotal must-play platformer, nor is it particularly important from a historical point-of-view, Pac-Man World Re-Pac is a small slice of retro fun that holds up shockingly well.
While it stumbles a bit on the visual front, PAC-MAN WORLD Re-PAC still ends up being a faithful remake with many quality-of-life improvements.
Pac-Man World Re-Pac offers us an interesting update of the 1999 PlayStation title, offering a fun and interesting platform to see the character in other types of games. Even so, it is a remake that is too faithful and with few changes and novelties compared to the original title, which means that players who are looking for a little more depth are not attracted. In any case, it is a recommended game for its nostalgia and collection of the franchise.

Pac-Man World Re-Pac is a reminder of what the glory days of 3D platformers were like with little of the irritation.
Listening to the old sound of Pac-Man tied in with the beautiful soundtrack on this game kept you wanting more. It was that happy music that made you want to keep playing, yet the tone would change if you encountered enemies along the way. I love turning big and hearing the old Pac-Man music and sound effects we used to hear on the arcade classic. Anyone that grew up playing Pac-Man, or even younger generations getting into Pac-Man, will find that the Re-Pac is an awesome gateway. It’s full of subtle easter eggs from the original games and features some beautifully recrafted scenery. Pac-Man World Re-Pac is a title for everyone.
Pac-Man World Re Pac is a refreshingly straightforward remake that will appeal to fans of the original game and newcomers alike. There are some repetitive parts and it’s a bit easy, but Re Pac makes for a chill and charming platforming experience for when you just need a breezy break.
While Pac-Man World‘s gameplay doesn’t quite shine in 2022 – an era where games have evolved far beyond the need for constant back-tracking and filler content, this remaster is still a loving ode to Pac-Man, and refreshes the original game with style, colour, and tight controls.
A fun family game, a blast from the past and unquestionably one for the kids to jump into, especially those that are looking to learn about their parents as gamers.
Pac-Man World Re-Pac is a great opportunity to experience a lost PSone gem on modern consoles. The formula can get a little repetitive in places but this niggle is minor compared to the overall fun I had with the game. The platforming is enjoyable, the moves are fun to use and most of all it cleverly weaves in aspects of the arcade game which brought a smile to my face almost as large as Pac-Mans. Whether you are familiar with Pac-Man or not this is a very good 3D platformer that hasn’t lost its charm all these years later
PAC-MAN World: Re-PAC is a competent 3D platformer, but there are certainly better alternatives of its kind for the Switch. Its gameplay is extremely faithful to the 1990s original and although it is a virtue for those who are looking for the title for nostalgia, the gameplay from two decades ago seems a little dated these days, lacking basic features such as camera control. However, if you enjoyed the PlayStation original and would like to relive its gameplay, this title is what you are looking for.

Pac-Man World RePac presents a renewed and beautiful production that only highlights the qualities of the original game: well-thought-out levels, solid gameplay, many challenges to discover and face. Unfortunately, this has also left out many standard elements of current games, such as online functions and cosmetics. Even with this limitation, the experience is still very good and worth the place in your library, especially for fans of the platform and the late yellow acorn.

Re-Pac sticks to its modest goals of creating a fun modern 3D platformer and dramatically succeeds. If you’re looking to whet your appetite with a relaxing platforming romp you’ll be in for a treat.
Despite what certain official listings state, Pac-Man World Re-Pac is certainly not an RPG, but it does do some creative things in the 3D platformer space nonetheless.
Pac-Man World Re-Pac won't set the platforming genre on fire, but it checks all the appropriate boxes for fans of the yellow ghost-eating hero.
Pac-Man World Re-Pac brings back the 1999 original and successfully adapts its visual world as well as control mechanics to our day, thus making a great effort at modernizing Pac-Man's platformer effort. While these are very welcome steps the game's foundations remain steeped in their time and as such, the levels are rather similar and with no links between them, while the camera is somewhat limited, in elements that are reminiscent of the original game's era. All in all, Re-Pac is a fun if by no means profound experience that will please fans of one of gaming's most iconic characters and of 1990s platformers.

A solid remaster with improved graphics and mostly great gameplay. The controls aren't always mapped handily, but the gameplay remains solid. The many references to the original Pac-Man are great, but the frequent need to backtrack is not. The levels are well designed while the bosses have a lot of variety. The game isn't very long, thich means it doesn't overstay it's welcome.

It took a while, but it's here. It's about time Pac-Man returned to the spotlight of not only video games but platformers, and no saga would do it better than Pac-Man World. Definitely an essential purchase for fans of the character and the genre! Let the next ones come.

PAC-MAN World Re-PAC is a fun, but somewhat mediocre platformer for today's market

The old-school arcade icon is back for a pretty unique adventure
PAC-MAN WORLD Re-PAC may not be one of the greatest games of all time being brought back for a new generation to discover, but it's still a decent enough 3D platformer that lots of people -- myself included -- are going to enjoy.
