Ended up enjoying the pop culture references, even if some of them are so dated I have no concept of what demographic would know what bro is talking about. The secret ending is funny too, I overall enjoyed the game's humor. I'm hoping Enter the Gecko is a tad less janky. Otherwise, solid game! (4/4)

It's not a game you can really breeze through or ride the momentum with. Some of the secret levels straight up evoke Mario Maker BS like "pick a door" at the end of puzzle sequences. I'm just glad the trilogy has rewinding because woof, that'd be even more irritating. The music's pretty good. (3/4)

Some of the gimmicks and the climbing mechanic in particular reminded me of that trilogy a lot. It doesn't control nearly as tightly as I'd like, unfortunately. IDK if it was the mapping on my Xbox controller, but I constantly felt like I could only move in knee-jerk start & stop intervals. (2/4)

It's tail time!! All seriousness, this game was okay. It was occasionally pretty neat and charming. I don't know how much of this is irony poisoning, but Gex himself did kinda grow on me... Whenever he isn't repeating the same exact lines back to back. It reminded me of DKC a bit. (1/4)

Now that you mention it, your voice reminded me of this one guy… I think it was… Alan? From Smiling Friends?? Is it just me??

Still gotta get the secrets done, but this game has been occasionally neat thus far, in spite of the memes. Climbing around is an idea they use in interesting ways and, again, in spite of the times he repeats the same damn quote over and over, the titular gecko is kinda growing on me.

Dude, I’m such a fraud, how did I forget Katamari Damacy??? Literally making a video about the game and it somehow didn’t cross the mind what a unique and fun concept it is. The fact that it was just on the shelf next to games like Halo 2 shows how many devs threw their hats into the ring this gen.
