The game is a ton of fun, even when you're playing against bots. You recognize the bots by their sort of standard usernames. You can also tell when it's a real player by the way they move and their tactics. When a real players shows up in your game you get a real kick out of it because the action is like a showdown. The level designs and all the different powerups and the fact that you can eat other Pac-Man make it a really entertaining experience.

The Pac-Man customizations are really well designed. I'm running around as Klonoa and I love how it looks. The speeds that Pac-Man moves with are excellent. When you grab a power pellet or a power up, Pac-Man speeds up in various degrees. And the speed of Pac-Man and the enemies make it exciting without you feeling like you're in over your head.

I didn't experience a lot of input delay. I did notice it depends on which server you're on. You can select to what region of the world you want to connect to. Keep in mind that this is a online multiplayer game where you're always playing over a server. So there will always be a bit more input delay than in a singleplayer Pac-Man game. You can navigate Pac-Man through the mazes just fine though.

Finally, I'd like to add that the animations and use of colors make the game look gorgeous. And that this is a fantastic arcade game.

I bought an authorized Deluxe Edition key from a official keystore that is partnered with Bandai Namco

I do love me some Pac-Man and I love me some Battle Royale.

WHERE'S MS. PACMAN?

Coming from someone who has an adoration for pacman, this games execution is poor. I do not think I have been playing with real people in my 1.2 hours of playing. Theres no feel of death unlike in pacman 99. Pacman 99 is a superior game, and I would tell you to play it if they had not abandoned the game and made it a bot hell like this one.

EDIT: im just learning they ended support for PM99. Wow. Maybe its good the only thing i kept my switch alive for is gone.
