Shining example of the drain-circling vibes of the 3d collectathon era. Pains to think how many 2d platformer studios -- original Gex is a completely serviceable platformer -- were shoved onto the 3d bandwagon. The quips are exhausting; the twin terrors of bad camera and jumping puzzles are a nightmare, something that even flagship 3d platformer Mario 64 didn't master. It's fascinating to watch a younger generation uncover these games and see them as endearing relics of videogame history. Having lived through this era, I want to leave this genre in a tomb.
