In Shadow Labyrinth, you play as an unnamed figure summoned to an alien planet by the mysterious Puck, a cybernetic, floating Pac-Man. A core part of Shadow Labyrinth is unpacking that central mystery as you meet the planet’s inhabitants and dangerous creatures. While I enjoy a brutal Metroidvania experience, part of me worries Shadow Labyrinth might be overtuning itself. If Shadow Labyrinth can blend all those elements into a cohesive package, it might be one of the most refreshing Metroidvanias in years. Shadow Labyrinth launches on July 18 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
