Message: [QUOTE="BoysenBarry, post: 272272, member: 24834"] Not sure if anyone else was following the lead-up to the release of this game like I was, but Bandai Namco's dark Sci-Fi Metroidvania twist on the Pac-Man franchise just released last Thursday. I wanted to create a space for those playing the game to discuss it, or for those interested in the game to find out more about it before buying it. [ATTACH type="full" size="348x348"]93291[/ATTACH] I'm currently in the game's fifth major area and I think that it is shockingly well designed! The moves are varied and mechanically interesting, the movement is tight and fast-paced, the difficulty is well-tuned, and the boss fights are fun to learn without being frustrating (aside from one boss around the end of a certain mechanical area, if you know you know). It's very mechanically similar to Hollow Knight, and in ways I think has some improvements in areas where I found Hollow Knight frustrating or lacking. The game attempts to use a painted aesthetic with puppeted animations, much like a VanillaWare title, and while I think it has the capacity to look good, and has some great character and environmental assets, the way things come together in motion ocassionally really highlight the game's status as a budget title. If you're interested and haven't picked it up yet, I highly recommend it so far! It has its flaws but I'm definitely having enough fun to justify the $30 price tag. Have you played Shadow Labyrinth? Are you planning to grab it? Let me know! [/QUOTE]
