Croc Legend of the Gobbos

hate to be that guy but please look into regional pricing for Brazil. 150 reais is straight up insane

This Remaster offers a good way to experience Croc for those that missed out on the original, found the controls too unwieldy, and a reason for veterans to revisit the game. Crocipedia is a nice example of video game preservation, and it shows that a lot of care was put into it, so if you're confused about the pricing, the amount of work that went into Crocipedia is the likely answer. There are a handful of things that I would like to see addressed in future update(s): - PS1 soundtrack featured a far greater amount of audio tracks. They're outright missing and are replaced by duplicates. Considering how heavily the game leans into the soundtrack to build its identity, this is a major oversight. - Ambience tracks do not loop. If you stay in an area long enough, the secondary audio track cuts off and never returns until you switch areas. - Audio mixing requires tweaking, as "realistic" volume distance drop-off makes SFX such as boss cues barely audible. - Original PS1 user interface had animated colored crystals. That extra bling is now static. - Platforms that appear from a liquid featured a fountain underneath them. These sprites are omitted from the Remaster. - With higher resolution it's easier to tell that there are occasional geometry misalignment, be it an instance of a floating tree on the level select, or and archway that is wider than the door. - Ideally, a re-created texture artwork would be an ideal solution, rather than relying on quick AI upscales that result in a melted, waxy look. - Flails have overly big hitboxes that would benefit from a tweak, as the hazard damages Croc without even visually connecting. - As a result of quick loading, some bonus areas start Croc facing a ledge. Often times you walk off by accident. - Control remap should be a part of a basic PC release. While the list may seem big, if you like something, you should be able to criticize it. I'd like this release to become Definitive way to play the game, paving the way for Croc 2.

Though the pricing seems rather high, I'm happy to support the return of Argonaut Games. I've spent the past 20 years wondering what a Croc 3 would look like and there's no better way of making that happen than supporting the release of this remastered edition. Naturally, the classic version (also provided with the purchase of the remaster) does have a special feel to it that I prefer. Though that may simply be the nostalgia rotting my aging brain. What really makes me happy is the Crocipedia. After all, I used to read the game manual over and over at recess. My mom also made me a mixtape with all the songs and I would play it at parties. I was not the most popular kid, but I sure did have a fun time dancing around like a goof.

Oozing with charm and made infinitely better due to the improved controls makes this version a joy to play.

While I appreciate the effort put into this remaster, I have a few problems with it. 1. Absolutely no k+m support 2. No FOV slider Croc is an amazing game and this remaster contains really nice graphics, plus I love how the game looks in retro mode with CRT filter. Fabulous!! However, it really sucks that this game is gamepad-only and that we cannot adjust the FOV.
