Fun & Intresting Platformer

Overall it's fun platformer game and supsringly I only recently found about this franchise. But because of that I avoided getting spoiled of this whatever can be spoiled from this game. Only for modern days it's outdated game, but still enjoyable. Like no saving, but password system which you need to find in level and I throught it's because in what time it was released orginally. And with which the life counter would return to default. Which is kinda true about the time of release but after I searched there was a version which had save option, which still you needed to find and life count would return to default. But ignore all of that, the gameplay is fun and played at least fine, like controls mostly worked fine but there and there where little hicups. It's fun game and I could see myself finishing the game but lack of saving (excluding passwords which nowadays can be found online) doesn't motivate me from completing the game from the start of the end of the game. Finding password online does opposite of motivation, maybe. At least kinda.

Great as always has been.

This game is a classic. One of the best 2d platformer game style I've ever played. I played it again now (after so many years) and it's still so funny! If you like this kind of games, but it!

Not too incredible

Through the smudged lenses of nostalgia, this game was a flawless platformer that could do no wrong. As an adult revisiting a childhood classic however, I can't get over the clunky controls that almost feel like I'm having a browser-based flash experience. Gex feels so haphazardly smashed together that the platforming missteps never feel like something you can work through and learn from, but almost like something that went haywire on the design end and tricked you into leaping into. After all is said and done, there's little value here aside from pure nostalgia, or 90's TV references. There's nothing rewarding about leaping to your death 1,000 times and missing the rotating platform you could have sworn you were bound to secure. The password feature (over a proper save) also does Gex little justice.
