Review Shadow Labyrinth by GamerClick
Interesting and unpredictable plot
Dark vibes centered in full
Smart use of the classic mechanics of the series
A solid metroidvania...
The mech G.A.I.A. is really too strong.
Checkpoints are often and excessively far apart from each other.
...but does not reinvent anything like that.

Review Shadow Labyrinth by Shacknews
Utterly unhinged celebration of Pac-Man's birthday
Challenging combat that's satisfying to learn and master
Detailed 2D visual style that isn't afraid to be gross and weird
Sometimes the challenge goes too far and the mechanics can't keep up
Random required backtracking is a bummer
Animations look cheap

Review Shadow Labyrinth by Games.ch
Mainly beautiful 2D graphics in a retro style.
Most of the time, coolly designed boss fights.
Low price (around 30 CHF) for a more than decent quantity (around 20 hours)
An attractive atmosphere
Precise control and absolutely clean performance
For "normal" people, a level of difficulty that is a bit too high (strong!)
First hours of gameplay are too linear
Many standard, few exceptional

Shadow Labyrinth reviewed by NerdMovieProductions
Review Shadow Labyrinth by NerdMovieProductions
Interesting narrative universe that encompasses the vast world of Bandai Namco games.
A solid metroidvania with proven mechanics.
A dark version of PAC-MAN had never been seen before.
Too much exploratory freedom only causes confusion.
Sudden spikes in difficulty spoil the overall experience.
Objective management and map readability need to be completely reviewed.

Review Shadow Labyrinth by XBoxEra
An intriguing world of NAMCO turned violent.
Solid level design and good progression pacing.
Good bit of enemy variety and platforming challenging
Clumsy platforming.
Visually hideous.
Not all bosses are engaging.

Exciting fights
The moments when we control PUCK-MAN are always good.
The story is getting worse and worse.
Some phases repeat too often.
It takes him a lot of time to get started on his story and his skills.
Exploration and backtracking could be improved.

Review Shadow Labyrinth by GameKult.com
The richness and versatility of approaches, in combat and exploration
The artists at Bandai Namco had a blast, and it shows.
A tribute to an entire era of video game history.
A labyrinth with multiple layers of interpretation
Some boss fights force the consumption of Xanax.
A technique not always top-notch
Without any attachment to the Bandai Namco stable, one will miss out on a large part of the title.

Shadow Labyrinth reviewed by LeCafeDuGeek
Review Shadow Labyrinth by LeCafeDuGeek
A surprising but effective mix of genres (Metroidvania, arcade, and action).
Various mechanics thanks to transformations (Swordsman, Mini-PUCK, GAIA).
A dark and immersive atmosphere that contrasts with Pac-Man's usual universe.
Radical artistic direction that can destabilize the nostalgic.
Sometimes repetitive level design despite the variety of modes.
A demanding difficulty that may discourage casual players.

Review Shadow Labyrinth by GameOver
Good balance between platforming and combat mechanics.
An interesting story.
Beautiful visual domain.
Poor level design, which creates results opposite to those desired on the metroidvania side of the title.
An unnecessary connection with the world of Pac-Man, while other elements of the game could be better utilized.

Unique coat of paint for PAC-MAN that ties into the larger UGSF timeline
Challenging combat and platforming
Large range of boss fights with interesting mechanics
Frustrating early game
The consequence for depleting your ESP bar feels unnecessarily harsh

Zero accessibility options

GamesWelt
Dark ambivalent representation of Pac-Man
Pac-Man gameplay for special game sections
Smooth movement model for number eight
Many references to Namco's past successes
Usable Metroidvania structure
Demanding bosses
Some excessively strict combat rules
Many redundant and empty corridors
long and boring over many distances
boring loops of enemies between bosses and save points
several unclear automatic cards
Pac-Man's jump angle does not match the displayed curve.
The level of difficulty is prioritized at the expense of the game's progression.
