For over two decades, I would fire up the PlayStation version of Croc every couple of years to send the lil' green guy jumping back into action. Finally as of today, I no longer need to do that to return to the world of this beloved game from my childhood, with its colourful and imaginative landscapes, cute inhabitants, and an absolute banger of a soundtrack. This remaster is truly a labour of love from folks with a personal connection to the game to take it new heights while preserving the charm and quirkiness that made it special. Beyond the fresh coat of paint and other graphical improvements, the controls have been revamped to address the most notable flaw of the original. It plays like a fresh, well-produced game and should be very approachable by newcomers. I'm impressed by the meticulous care the team has put into it so far, and the only nitpicks I have are minor presentation details (which I expect will be fixed as updates come in). Congrats to Argonaut and all the fine folks involved on bringing Croc back for the 21st century.
