Otherwise, you’ll have a blast taking Pac-Man through the inventive and creative worlds that lay waiting for you. You’ll rarely feel that the way that Pac-Man controls could lead you tumbling to your doom, with one unfortunate design choice being the only bad decision that we could hold against this statement. You’ll be able to jump, Butt-Bounce, and dash your way to victory, no matter where you find yourself. Pac-Man moves and controls like a dream, with plenty of skills, that he’s able to utilize as he makes his way through the 23 levels on display. This was obviously a labor of love, and rather than just polishing things up and calling it a day, they looked at areas that needed some fine-tuning, and made this the best way to play this classic platformer, and we can see the passion and care put in every step of the way. From the excellent Boss designs to the environmental effects, it’s hard to believe that this was all done with Unity. If you played through the original, you’ll immediately recognize all of your favorite characters, enemies, and bosses, looking so much better than they have before.

However, the worlds here steal the show, all featuring great texture work, creative designs that haven’t aged horribly by any means, and excellent optimization, so you’ll never encounter an issue with hiccups. The remastering process is lovingly handled by the team at Bandai Namco, and Pac-Man has never looked better. You’ll find yourself navigating through 6 colorful worlds, all with their own unique theme, and this is where the newly remastered and recreated visuals shine through.
