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.
TheGamer: 3.5 / 5 by George Foster
Pac-Man World may not be Pac-Man World 2 like I’d hoped, but it’s still a solid classic platformer with enough unique elements to help it stand out. Those who have played the original will no doubt appreciate the nostalgia, but those like me who missed it originally will still have a good time.
God is a Geek: 6.5 / 10 by Lyle Carr
Pac-Man World Re-Pac is good 3D platformer, but struggles to stand out against other modern offerings in the genre.
Screen Rant: 3.5 / 5 by Scott Baird
Pac-Man World Re-Pac is a great remake of a good game. The visual overhaul of the graphics looks great and the new QoL features help iron out some of the rough edges that are present in many games of its era. The sameness of the stages and the short runtime are blows against the game, but it's still a fun experience, and worth checking out for fans of platformers.
