Thanks to @bandainamcousa.bsky.social I got hands-on for a few hours with the upcoming #ShadowLabyrinth, and good lord is it fun. It turned me into the sweatiest, try-hardiest dork ever. I love a good Metroidvania, but this one really put me through my paces.

Shadow Labyrinth hands-on preview: Pac-Man’s grimdark platformer combines Metroidvania and Soulslike into an addictive experience
I was admittedly skeptical of Shadow Labyrinth, an upcoming grimdark Pac-Man 2D action platformer. If you think that the idea is kind of ridiculous, I wouldn’t blame you.
