What Should I Play Now?

PAC-MAN 256

  • Arcade
  • High scores
  • Local co-op

Pac-Man in a maze that never ends: you head upwards eating pellets while the ghosts cut you off and the level 256 glitch chases you from below. You carry three power-ups, such as the laser or the tornado, and upgrade them with coins.

Why play it now

When you have a short break and fancy quick runs chasing a high score, or friends on the sofa to play with up to four.

Who it's for

For anyone who misses arcade Pac-Man and wants to beat their high score run after run, with no story.

When not to pick it

If you want something to hook you for weeks: reviews say it gets repetitive quickly.

What it offers

  • Combat / action: 45 out of 100
  • Competing: 45 out of 100
  • Relaxing: 35 out of 100
