Pac-Man World Re-Pac is a 3D platform game, which is a remake of a game released in 1999 under the title Pac-Man World. It was developed by Now Production studio and released by Bandai Namco.
In Pac-Man World Re-Pac we take on the role of Pac-Man, who arrives home on his birthday. To his horror, the protagonist discovers that his entire family and all the friends who came to his birthday party have been kidnapped by ghosts. The protagonist has no choice but to set out for Ghost Island and rescue his loved ones, as well as deal with Toc-Man, who is behind all the chaos.
In Pac-Man World Re-Pac, we observe the action from a top-down view. We move through levels, in which we jump on platforms, avoid ghosts, as well as eat fruits and get various power-ups. Among the latter, Metal Pac-Man, which allows the hero to move underwater, and Mega Pac-Man, allowing the protagonist to hunt ghosts, lead the way. In addition, long and challenging clashes with bosses await. In total, there are six extensive levels to visit, maintained in a variety of aesthetics: a pirate location, ruins, a playground, a factory, a mansion and even a space stage.
In addition to the story mode, in Pac-Man World Re-Pac an unlockable original mode (in which we can see how the original from 1999 looked like) awaits checking. In addition, the game offers a set of additional mazes, kept in the spirit of classic Pac-Man.
Compared to the original, Pac-Man World Re-Pac stands out due to a thoroughly refreshed graphics. In addition, the authors bent over the controls and introduced a number of improvements, thanks to which the whole meets modern standards.

Game Ratings for Pac-Man World Re-Pac Video Game.
Destructoid: 7 / 10 by Chris Carter
Solid and definitely have an audience. There could be some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun.
PlayStation Universe: 7 / 10 by Neil Bolt
While it brings some of the regressive issues of the era it was born in, Pac-Man World: Re-Pac is a solid remake of a fondly-remembered platformer.
Twinfinite: 3.5 / 5 by Jake Su
As a remake, Pac-Man World Re-Pac definitely ticks plenty of boxes when it comes to transforming an older game into one that fits into the present gaming landscape. The platforming is solid, the presentation is up to snuff, and there is no beating nostalgia sometimes. The game is unlikely to garner a new following save for a curious bunch, and is purely aimed at hardcore Pac-Man fans who are looking for something new yet old to enjoy, yet, that is not such a bad thing after all.
