Jul 2, 2025If you have happy memories of the character, or if this particular game series was something that didn't catch your eye back then, Gex Trilogy is not a bad purchase.

Jun 16, 2025Gex 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 period in which they were made. It’s full of comic quirks, zinging dialogue, and visual gags that scream MTV Generation. Across all three entries, the media hook and its tropes — from horror to Christmas to 1930s prohibition gangsters — work well to keep things fresh, fun and engaging. That said, while there's a simplicity to the games themselves, the yesteryear technology and the sensibilities of many gamers may have moved on, making their baked-in fetch quests trying at times. Gex Trilogy’s value is bumped up by its invention and still very playable design aspects, but whether or not you can pit yourself through them really comes down to how much your nostalgic mileage varies, dude.

Aug 20, 2025Gex Trilogy is a package that brings back the Gex 2D and 3D trilogy, but leaves too much to be desired when it comes to improvements.
