Pros and cons for Shadow Labyrinth List of reviews and ratings
To better compare, we looked for you the advantages and disadvantages of Below and the notes given by specialized sites.


Dark vibes centered in full
Smart use of the classic mechanics of the series
A solid metroidvania...
Checkpoints are often and excessively far apart from each other.
...but does not reinvent anything like that.


Rewarding combat with cool upgrades
Loads of Namco arcade game references
Difficulty spikes can be a real pain


Challenging combat that's satisfying to learn and master
Detailed 2D visual style that isn't afraid to be gross and weird
Random required backtracking is a bummer
Animations look cheap


Variety of equipment and abilities
Wild commitment to Namco lore
Overemphasis on combat

Nice graphics
Intense combat and platforming
Excellent fusion of genres
Music is quiet
Murky dialog
Backtracking is annoying


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
First hours of gameplay are too linear
Many standard, few exceptional

A solid metroidvania with proven mechanics.
A dark version of PAC-MAN had never been seen before.
Sudden spikes in difficulty spoil the overall experience.
Objective management and map readability need to be completely reviewed.


Solid level design and good progression pacing.
Good bit of enemy variety and platforming challenging
Visually hideous.
Not all bosses are engaging.
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.




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


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
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.
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


Various mechanics thanks to transformations (Swordsman, Mini-PUCK, GAIA).
A dark and immersive atmosphere that contrasts with Pac-Man's usual universe.
Sometimes repetitive level design despite the variety of modes.
A demanding difficulty that may discourage casual players.


An interesting story.
Beautiful visual domain.
An unnecessary connection with the world of Pac-Man, while other elements of the game could be better utilized.
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


Pac-Man elements stand out
Neat upgrades and abilities
Varied environments
Decent bosses
Basic core combat
Backtracking is a slog
Story hard to care about
Oddly blurry art in places


Challenging combat and platforming
Large range of boss fights with interesting mechanics
The consequence for depleting your ESP bar feels unnecessarily harsh
Save point and checkpoint system disrupts exploration flow
Zero accessibility options


References and Easter eggs
A maze that truly loses us
A little slow pace
Cute but uneven
From the farm?


Successful atmosphere
Some playful discoveries are worth the price of admission.
The checks are not always punctual.


Some cool environments
Poor level design
Goes on far too long
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


Boss fights are challenging
Traditional Pac-Man mini-games
Basic combat can lack depth
Repetitive enemy variety
Backtracking can be a chore

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
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.
