  Pangeon had some elements to reel in those that enjoyed retro-style dungeon crawlers. But one gentle tap on the outer coating reveals a very empty centre filled with a couple of bugs. I know bugs can be patched but the other 80% of the game’s content needs to be here as it feels like it got pushed out the doorway before it was ready. It’s a shame as the retro feel is achieved well but with such little content, it is just a shell of a game.

  What Pangeon has to offer is actually quite alright, and with some tweaking, the experience could have been nice, if it at least took longer than thirty minutes. The current build of the game feels like a beta or a demo of a game that is still in production, but it’s in fact a full game that costs way too much for the content it’s offering. If you can get this title for a price of a dollar/euro then it’s certainly a fun treat in-between games, but as it stands now, it’s not even close to being worth its asking price.

  I bring this up because I could never in a million years make a game as good as Pangeon. I couldn’t create one level, let alone 8. But I’m not here to compare Pangeon to the best thing I could create. I’m not even here to compare Pangeon to other games that try for similar things. Ultimately, I’m here to compare Pangeon to the best version of itself, and figure out if it’s reached its full potential. And it hasn’t, not even as a diversion.

  5.0

  Though it is fully released, Pangeon on Xbox One feels more like a demo than a finished game. It has some strong points to be sure; nice visuals, great enemy and level design, and perfectly adequate combat. Yet the horribly brief runtime, useless character classes, and complete lack of replayability make it difficult to recommend. Unless you can feel it really tugging at your nostalgic side, Pangeon is one dungeon you’ll want to leave unexplored.
