I'm not the biggest Pac-Man fan, so I kinda hoped this collection would make me a bit more acquainted with the franchise.

It's a fine celebration compilation, although a bit underwhelming, too. The selection of games is pretty good, with my favorites especially being Arrangement and Championship Edition, but it's somewhat of a shame that they didn't lean more into the archived history of the franchise, especially with Digital Eclipse blowing expectations out of the water nowadays for these kinds of things. And I wish the arcade customization and gachapon systems were more in-depth, because aside from the individual missions and focus on earning coins from playing arcade titles, your coins don't necessarily go too far.

Unless you're a diehard fan of the historical character, you're probably better off finding one of those beefier Namco collections instead, because I only really found about half of these games to be entertaining.
