Gex did not live up to the hype

Mostly great sprite work, not so great animation. You could do worse for a 1994 platformer; you could do way worse for a game released on the 3DO.

The first part Gex is a kind of parody of platformers that came out during that period of time, but with one condition - it is a 2D game. Relatively speaking, the game gives the player lives, but then maliciously takes them away from you; at the end of the game, the difficulty increases quite strongly. As a one-time game, the game will work for fans of the Hex universe, but it doesn’t have much charm.

Первая часть Гекса является некой пародией на платформеры выходящие в тот период времени, но с одним условием - это 2д игра. Условно говоря, игра одаривает игрока жизнями, но потом злосным образом забирает у тебя их, в конце игры сложность возврастает достаточно сильно. Как игра на один раз и для любителей Гекс вселенной игра пойдет, но в ней нет особо шарма.


It's not a bad platformer... but it's not great, either. I ironically love Gex and his very bad jokes.

Un plataformero cuyas bases son simples pero el diseño de nivel demasiado laberintico y confuso en su mayoria, la cámara zoomeada que no muestra gran parte del entorno junto a un control algo impreciso. Musicalmente tiene temas bastante pegadizos que acompañan muy bien a los niveles (en otros temas de audio, la voz de Gex puede ser muy molesta en ocasiones), artísticamente representa de forma interesante la temática de estar dentro de la TV con un personaje que contrasta con el resto del mundo, aunque en algunas ocasiones ciertos niveles parezcan desinspirados en apariencia y ciertos elementos del fondo se pueden confundir con los del propio nivel.
Es un juego bastante mediocre en el aspecto jugable y no pierdes mucho al no jugarlo, pero debo reconocer que ningún juego me había llamado nerd sin vida poco contacto con la luz solar después de terminarlo, así que tiene ese merito.
SAY GEX

This would be higher if it wasn't for the comically non-PC voice lines lol.

This game has some alright ideas and uses its lizard protagonist quite well, but the level design is often a mess, the camera is too zoomed-in in places, and the less said about Gex talking, the better.

Literally the coolest thing ever

(Copy-pasted from a Twitter post I made in June 2022)
Compared to the other 2D PS1 platformer I've played, this is a damn masterpiece.
Stages that are (mostly) fun to play through, secrets that arent a pain to find, and an amusing, if irritating, protag.
....Rayman 1 does look better tho.

Very glad that this is the 100th game I have played this year.

What the fuck do you MEAN there's a level called "Twin Towers"?!

This game would greatly benefit from being able to look down.

Also Gex will not stop talking.

Still the best game of the trilogy.

i only played this because of scott the woz

There are some genuinely cool ideas and levels here, but it tends to buckle under the weight of its lack of polish. The controls are slippery, the camera is really spastic, and your hitbox is fucking ginormous, not to mention Gex isn't funny and never shuts up. Did you know Geraldo Rivera had a talk show? Or that Star Wars exists? Well play this sick ass video entertainment software and let Gex tell you all about it four million times.

gex more like sex lmao add me on linkedin

Jogo bacaninha, mas com level design muitas vezes confusa e repetitiva.

I'm sorry gays and Scott the Woz fans but this game kinda blows.

At the very least, seeing Gex doesn't send me into a flying rage like Bubsy does. Gex is actually kinda cool as a character.


This game is a litmus test on whether you're a respectable member of society or if you're a scott the woz fan

Whether or not you played it, everyone remembers Gex somehow. With the staying power of the Geico Gecko going on like 25 years strong, its very clear humans relate to Geckos on a very fundamental level. Society is collapsing because we forgot our geccian ways..... its time for Gex to come back and remind us.

"Say Gex" really fast 69 times.

Me diverti muito com esse platformer! Superou minhas expectativas.
