I wasn’t expecting Pac-Man World 2 Re-PAC to pivot much from its original incarnation. The remake of the previous game, for all intents and purposes, was a mostly straight-ahead recreation that faithfully stuck to its PlayStation predecessor. This one, however, not only majorly reimagines much of its content, but completely replaces some of it, all while greatly extending its playtime in some surprising ways. Not all of these changes are for the better and I certainly don’t think that the intent behind some of them flows well with the rest of the game, but this is still a fairly successful remake that does its best to improve things.

“Hades II” Review
Hades II manages several incredible feats that sequels rarely achieve. It lives up to its excellent predecessor with tighter gameplay. By doing so, it also manages to stand out in a genre that’s become oversaturated. There are many roguelikes to choose…

If you were looking for a review of Sonic Racing that doesn’t talk about Mario Kart, sorry. We just got it out of the way in the first sentence. That failure aside, there is no single game that we’ve covered…

When Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter was first shown as part of a Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase (and never again) last summer, Trails fans lost their minds. The fandom has good reason to be obsessive. We’re a part of…
