>World 3
I don’t like this game. Not just because it’s a boring game with tedious combat and uninteresting platforming in levels that go on for way too long, but nothing about it feels like Pac-Man. Not gameplay-wise, not tonally, not aesthetically, nothing. I dislike this portrayal of Pac-Man as a snarky action hero, as opposed to a naive little man full of pure wholesome joy. Pac-Man and the ghosts teaming up is interesting but they really don’t do much with it, Erwin is a lame villain, and the plot feels generic and some elements contradict the prior games. The one highlight was Orson, who I’m pretty sure is the only Pac-Man character to actually have development across games. I love him and I really wish he were a mainstay.
>World Rally
It’s very derivative of Mario Kart but it’s too fun for me to care. It has enough of its own Pac-Man elements anyway.
>Championship Edition
A fun time-attack take on OG Pac-Man. It’s good but nothing too amazing.
>Party
Same sentiment as Rally but Party is definitely more unique and different from Mario Party. In fact, dare I say, I think I might like it more than Party. Patra is cute.
>Championship DX
While not the best game in the franchise like so many claim, this game is a pretty fun time, even if it’s quite a departure from the traditional maze gameplay.
>Battle Royale
Feels more like a proof of concept than an actual game. Fun for one or two rounds with 4 players, boring any other way.
>Tilt
Aight little gyro game.
>Ghostly Adventures 1 & 2
Despite being tied to a shitty reboot and giving off the vibe of cheap licensed games based on a cartoon (since that’s what they are), these are surprisingly good games, especially GA2, which I’d argue is the most overlooked game in the whole series. The 3DS game sucks though, unsurprising coming from the Mighty no.9 developers.
