This game should be a lot of fun but it's just a little fun. The worst mistake this game made was changing too many things. When things show up on your screen in Tetris 99 or Super Mario Bros. 35, the core gameplay is basically unchanged, you just have more chaos to deal with. In this game, you're constantly taken away from the fun Pac-Man gameplay to eat mini-ghosts and a bunch of other stuff that I couldn't care less about. What made the first two battle royale-style games so fun is adding replayability and chaos to a formula that already worked well. Here, they tried to fix what wasn't broken, and I think they failed. It's still fun, it's still Pac-Man, but unlike some other games in this "series," I see no reason to play this over the original game its based on, and as such it's by far my least played one so far.
