Shadow Labyrinth: A Dark, Arcade-Inspired Pac-Man Adventure for Switch

TL;DR Summary
Shadow Labyrinth is an exploration-driven action-platformer set on a sci-fi planet, featuring a Pac-Man-inspired character named Puck. While it offers solid gameplay mechanics, interesting boss battles, and a large map to explore, its story is convoluted, the world design is uninspired, and the gameplay loop lacks innovation, leading to a somewhat underwhelming experience over its lengthy runtime.
