Gex Trilogy

"Though your fondness for the subject matter may vary, the Gex Trilogy is an easy recommendation for those pining to hear an outdated quip or two from a forgotten mainstay of the mascot era on modern consoles."

"I didn&s;t think we&s;d ever see Gex again but Gex Trilogy proves that this irreverent and charming series is definitely enjoyable and unique enough for today&s;s gaming audiences. With that being said, the humour and visuals surely haven&s;t held up …"

"GEX Trilogy is ultimately a good collection of the main GEX games, but it’s not a very good game because none of the games it collects are very fun. Those with nostalgia for the character will surely find some enjoyment …"

"The Gex series is a record of a very fertile period in the industry. That fertility resulted in all kinds of ideas, some very interesting and others not so much. Gex brought strong influences from pop culture, cinema and TV …"

"GEX Trilogy is a very faithful restoration of each of the classic games through the Carbon Engine. Each one shows the development and evolution of the franchise through iteration and the references, themes and humour are a massive product of …"

"Gex Trilogy brings back from obscurity a mascot that exudes charisma and creativity, but that has not been well treated by time. With the many options we have today, whether from established names or indie producers, it is difficult to …"

"It can take some getting used to, but Limited Run Games are dedicated to keeping the original experience as close as possible to the original. And although we did get a nice improvement with the ability to reverse time, there …"

"Gex Trilogy reintroduces the three original chapters of the famous 90s platformer, with accurate emulation and some modern features such as quick saves, rewind, trophies, widescreen support and CRT filter. The first episode, in 2D, is notable for its wall …"

"Gex Trilogy brings Gex to a new generation of players in a package that offers the expected additions of a re-release, but falls short in trying to offer significant improvements to the games. The package is a good reminder of …"

"At the end of the day, Gex Trilogy is a lean and unpretentious collection, frustrating in its lack of major additions, but it fulfills its role of bringing the irreverent lizard back into the spotlight. The lack of visual polish, …"

"This trilogy of somewhat forgotten 90’s platformers are certainly a bit hit and miss – outdated but still often effective humor, a unique but often somewhat clunky gameplay, with even some unexpected narratives and lots of voiceovers and cameos to …"

"The most important thing to keep in mind about Gex Trilogy isn&s;t about how good the games are in 2025, but rather seeing their place in history."

"The GEX Trilogy is a solid trip down memory lane. These games may not be genre-defining classics, but they’re better than many remember, especially with the modern improvements layered on top. The 2D original benefits greatly from quality-of-life features, while …"

"Gex Trilogy is a nostalgic bundle that pays loving tribute to a quirky franchise. It brings together three games, bonus content, and era-specific charm into one accessible package. While performance and modern convenience fall short, the overall experience is tailored …"

"Overall, the Gex Trilogy is a great purchase specifically for the gamer who played these games in the 90s and doesn’t have access to them anymore. Anyone outside of that, it’s a hard sell. The rewind feature helps make up …"

"Gex Trilogy brings back a cult platforming mascot with three TV-themed adventures and just enough modern tweaks to make them playable. From the 2D original to its two 3D sequels, each game keeps Gex’s sarcastic style intact, even when the …"

"It was a lot of fun to revisit these games as I loved playing them in my youth. The new rewind feature makes the games much more playable, and the updated controls make the second and third game tolerable. Limited …"

"There are two correct answers to the question, “is the Gex Trilogy collection worth your time”. If you want to be technical, no, the collection ain’t worth it. The games have never been part of the upper echelon of platformers …"

"Gex Trilogy ensures the three Gex games are as true to their original release as possible, but if you have no nostalgia for them you&s;ll struggle a bit."

"Yes, GEX is one of the first platformers that introduced a fully voiced protagonist, but beyond that, the franchise is fairly average. This re-release of the GEX Trilogy could have been so much more, but instead it just banks on …"

"A fun, nostalgia-fuelled romp through three classic platformers. Whilst they are dated, the extra features alleviate some issues found in the original versions."

"We&s;ll see if this Gex Trilogy will be the opportunity to rewrite the story of Gex, finally giving him a second chance; a fourth chapter was actually in development for PlayStation 2, but it was canceled before it was even …"

"Gex Trilogy is undoubtedly a fascinating time travel back to the 90&s;s, and I can recommend the trip to nostalgics, those who have missed the character&s;s prime time, and simply for people who are curious about the 90&s;s. BUT: it …"

"The “Gex Trilogy” brings back a long-forgotten video game character—complete with all his strengths and weaknesses. Platformer fans and nostalgic Gex enthusiasts should definitely check it out. Everyone else should be aware that charming music and extras are offset by …"

"The GEX Trilogy won&s;t convert new fans, but for those raised on tail-whips and TV parodies, it&s;s a nostalgia-packed return. A solid, if safe, remaster that could&s;ve done more but still lets Gex channel surf once more with style."

"The Gex Trilogy is a faithful return to a distinct era of platforming, preserving the original charm and quirks of all three games. Each entry brings something different: the original offers straightforward 2D action, Enter the Gecko delivers a notable …"

"In Gex Trilogy, there is more than one reference to Austin Powers, which should give you some idea as to how much the series&s; humour has dated ..."

"The Gex Trilogy is a mostly great re-release of the 90s cult classic. The series has been lovingly preserved for modern audiences, maintaining the gameplay, humor, dialogue, and style of Gex, Gex: Enter the Gecko, and Gex: Deep Cover Gecko. …"

"Yes, the games show their age greatly and Gex 3 is a mixed bag of feelings, but I still had fun playing them. While it’s a shame we’ll probably never see a new Gex game anytime soon, I’m just happy …"

"I would recommend Gex Trilogy to fans of retro platformers, who’ve played all the classics. These games aren’t must-play, but are a great option for someone wanting more platforming titles in their library."

"Gex Trilogy is a happy throwback. The first game is a little clunky and occasionally laborious, but its sequels do better in their 3D expansion of its themes and idea. The main point of appeal is its connection to the …"

"With solid quality-of-life updates and a nice array of bonus features, there’s a lot here for fans to sink their teeth into."
