Pac-Man 99 is a variation on Pac-Man, which enriches the classic rules of this cult arcade game with elements taken from the battle royale genre. Bandai Namco company is behind the development and release. The game is available for free for subscribers of the Nintendo Switch Online service.

Mechanics

At first glance, Pac-Man 99 does not differ much from what we are used to from its original. During the game we take control of the game' hero, who moves through the maze and eats balls scattered in it. At the same time, the protagonist must avoid colourful ghosts wandering around, because an encounter with one of them ends the game. However, the protagonist is not completely defenceless, because after he eats one of the special power balls (clearly bigger than the others) all the ghosts turn blue and can be eaten by him for a short time.

Unboxed: 7 / 10 by Ari Sadler

All in all, while PacMan 99 is not fundamentally different from its older brother, I still found it to be a blast. And I highly recommend trying it to see how you like it. I really don’t think I’ll never return to Tetris 99 after this because when I play this game, it’s my time to shine.

Game Informer: 7.5 / 10 by Blake Hester

A lack of any kind of tutorial is frustrating at first, but once you get the hang of the action, it's a fun way to fill lulls in your day

Screen Rant: 3.5 / 5 by Alex Santa Maria

Ultimately, Pac-Man 99 doesn't stand up to the instant fun of Tetris 99, but it's better than Super Mario 35 and serves as a worthy addition to the Nintendo Switch Online subscription. The paid modes will be great when the game inevitably goes offline, but feel superfluous in the now. Those looking to expand their game will likely find more use out of grabbing a few skins individually than grabbing the whole bundle, but the free-to-play option will be the best deal for most players.
