    PAC-MAN Championship Edition DX+ -------------------------------------------- pure crack for arcade fans. The speed kicks in and my brain just says LETS GO. Neon mazes got me bopping my head to the music. You start a run calm and then everything goes fast as f*ck ! Chaining ghosts perfectly is straight up dopamine. I swear I was gonna quit but just one more run had to be done. The music slaps so hard it should be illegal. This game realy knows how to stress you out in a good way.…

    At first I thought it was simply a HD port of the classic arcade game I grew up with on the NES. It's actually way more than that, it's a fresh take on the formula that completely improves upon the core gameplay loop. Easy to play, hard to master. There's also an online leaderboard on every stage so that you can work on improving your records. 10/10 sleeper gem, and it's also perfect for short play session on the Steam Deck. Highly reccomended for arcade game fans.

    Still the G.O.A.T. #PacMan game in my opinion. Love that this is backwards compatible on Xbox since I don’t think any (future) Pac-Man game will ever top this. // #PacManChampionshipEditionDX

    I enjoy the fast gameplay, especially when it builds up speed. The achievements are solid with fun milestones. Time trials are nice to play if you just want to chill and the soundtrack is very good. Note: The menus are rough, and look outdated with the Facebook share stuff, so it's easy to get lost.

    I wish this would get updated with more common options, such as choosing a resolution higher than 720p, refresh/frame-rate higher than 60fps, as well as things like remapping keys/buttons. - Stuff like this isn't present because this was basically a console-port (like I had it on PlayStation 3 first). But while it works well, it's extremely barebones for a PC-release, even in 2013 (which shouldn't be much different from today's standards, save for some new norms that came up since). They could…

    PAC-MAN Championship Edition DX+ is a bold and exhilarating reinterpretation of one of gaming’s most iconic formulas, transforming the simple maze-chase design of classic Pac-Man into a relentlessly fast, score-driven arcade experience built for modern players. Developed by Mine Loader Software Co., Ltd. and published by BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment, this PC release refines and expands upon the already acclaimed Championship Edition DX, emphasizing speed, precision, and mastery above all else.…

Also with a soundtrack that is one of the Best in the entire Pac-Man Franchise! (at least in my opinion) I would totally recommend buying this game!

    This is one of the greatest video games ever made, and perhaps the best Pac-Man of them all. It's the epitome of "easy to learn, hard to master" as the game is very approachable to casual gamers, but it has a lot of depth and a very high skill ceiling. The ghost train mechanic was absolute genius. This game is like injecting Pac-Man straight into your veins. This is gaming in its purest form.

    if you're a "classic" pacman player: this is not the game you thought. you probably won't like it. if you're a "modern" pacman player: you can find your own fun on this. it's visually very fancy. basically the gameplay is you eat all pac-dots spawned in specific patterns, but you have to find the optimized route to eat them all. efficiency = best time or scores, and the game speed increased very FAST because of this. i'd call this a special mode of pacman, but it's not the pacman in…

    Pacman Championship Edition DX is the best version of Pacman I've ever played, arcade classic version included. Its fast, its intense, the music hits hard, and nothing matches the high of eating an entire train of ghosts behind you. Runs are bitsized, its the perfect 5min and done game. For 2.49 on sale, you wont find a better take on the Pac. Tip: Get Championship Edition DX+, NOT! regular Championship Edition. Theyre basically sequels with DX being the better version. The names don't make it…

    PAC-MAN Championship Edition DX+ is my new favorite PAC-MAN game. It's a fast, addictive and trippy, and its gameplay also manages to preserve what made the original PAC-MAN so popular. There are a ton of different courses, especially if you get the DLC, and there are different modes as well. Chomping down hordes of ghosts is really, really satisfying so I liked the Ghost Combo mode the most. Achievements are stupid easy to get in this game, so that wasn't my main focus. Just…

    If you need a brief explanation as to why this game is good: Pac-Man on acid at a raver. But to really get deep into why this game is good, it takes the original Championship Edition and injects it with adrenaline while also being respectful towards the source material (you just keep going). Thumping techno beats that I unironically like listening to in my free time, neon colors and light shows that would make a Victorian child foam at the mouth, and second-to-second gameplay that keeps you…

    So this is a PC port from console and a great game nevertheless. A worthy addition to the PAC-MAN series. - New visuals, honestly I prefer it styled closer to original classic than some of the new styles. - Several game modes including time trial and score attack. - New layouts, it can take little time getting used to but they are a good challenge. - New mechanics. - Optional DLC, worth buying during the sale period at least. - Has a leadership and challenge board but I would not be too…

    Fun to grind out scores while you listen to music. Colors can be a bit over-bearing at times but you can always change the maze/stage and play on something else. Chaining ghosts together for ridiculous combos becomes addictive, trying to build up the longest chain possible feels wonderful.

Given the Room 4 was also the death of positive reception, seeing as how all 7 games played after that failed to enthral me, or earn my positive reception, I took a chance, and dived into something I hoped would break that. 8 is apparently a lucky number for me.

    Mowing through a large lineup of ghosts after consuming a power pellet never gets old. Though there are many modes to try out in each level, it's especially fun to casually play the 5 minute score attack mode- regardless of the level or difficulty. I also like the neon aesthetic and soundtrack (come to think of it, most of the games that I review tend to have a good soundtrack). Recommended.

    pretty good all-rounder/"time-wasting" game. if you're a fan of pac-man and/or want a game you can just pick up, play for a while and back out of, this is the game for you! though, it's also really challenging, like the original pac-man is. i recommend it, especially since it usually goes on 75% off. :P The other 8 DLCs are nice too, the dig-dug one's my favorite. and finally, do yourself a favor and get Pac-Steps BGM. absloute cinema. gem. peak track.
