GEX Trilogy is a compilation of three remastered GEX games, platformers developed by Crystal Dynamics between 1995-1999. It includes GEX, GEX 3D: Enter the Gecko and GEX 3: Deep Cover Gecko, remastered by Limited Run Games with help from Square Enix, the owners of the franchise.

Plot

The main protagonist of GEX Trilogy is Gex, an anthropomorphic TV-addicted gecko. One day, the villainous Rez drags him into the Media Dimension through his TV, intending to use him as the network's mascot. To escape, he must find TV remotes and destroy TV sets blocking his way.

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

LadiesGamers.com: by James Luff

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 the two 3D titles still hold up with their quirky design and varied level themes. If you loved GEX back in the day, GEX Trilogy is the best way to re-experience it. And if you missed him entirely, this collection offers a polished, accessible way to see what all the wisecracking was about

XboxEra: 7.5 / 10 by Győző Baki

This trilogy of somewhat forgotten 90’s platformers are certainly a bit hit and miss – outdated but still often effective humor, a unique but often somewhat clunky gameplay, with even some unexpected narratives and lots of voiceovers and cameos to boot.

  • Improved Controls: The updated analog controls for Gex 2 and 3 were generally well-received, making gameplay smoother and more enjoyable.
  • Widescreen Support: The inclusion of native widescreen for Gex 2 and 3 was appreciated, enhancing the visual experience on modern displays.
  • Extras and Presentation: The stylish menu design, along with bonus content such as interviews and original artwork, added value for fans.
  • Rewind Feature: The addition of a rewind feature was noted as a helpful tool, especially for Gex 1, which is considered more challenging.

The main cons of the game

  • Technical Issues: Many users reported audio glitches, such as crackling and missing sound effects, as well as visual bugs and instability during gameplay.
  • Lack of Improvements: Despite being marketed as a remaster, many felt the graphics and performance did not significantly improve over the original games, with some stating it looked worse than emulating the originals.
  • Control Issues: The inability to rebind controls was a common complaint, with users finding the default settings awkward, especially for keyboard players.
  • Removed Features: The removal of traditional save systems and in-game options menus was criticized, as players had to rely on save states instead.
  • Incomplete Package: Users expressed disappointment over the absence of certain versions of the games (e.g., N64 and Game Boy Color versions) and the lack of additional content that could have enhanced the collection.

The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users

  • Missing Game Versions: Users wanted the inclusion of the N64 versions, which had unique levels and content, as well as the Game Boy Color adaptations.
  • Audio Options: Many reviews mentioned the lack of separate volume controls for music, sound effects, and voiceovers, which affected the overall experience.
  • Enhanced Visuals: There were calls for graphical improvements such as higher resolutions, anti-aliasing, and better texture quality, which were expected but not delivered.
  • More Quality of Life Features: Users suggested the addition of features like auto-saving, achievements, and more detailed menus to enhance the gaming experience.
  • Localization: Some users expressed disappointment over the absence of non-English voice options, particularly the original German and French dubs.

Summary

  • Overall, while the GEX Trilogy brought back fond memories for many, it fell short in terms of execution and technical quality, leading to a mixed reception among fans and newcomers alike.
