Vexx attempts to capture the vibrant spirit of classic 3D platformers, featuring ambitious level design and expansive worlds to explore. Its unique mechanic of collecting hearts to power up the menacing War Talons adds intriguing combat potential. Unfortunately, Vexx is held back by a frustratingly inconsistent camera system, awkward controls, and a difficulty that often feels unfair rather than challenging. While there's some hidden potential for platforming fans, Vexx largely remains a relic of its era.
Vexx is the edgy 3D platformer of this generation of consoles and its very funny how cool it wants to be. It's pretty unremarkable otherwise.
Vexx makes Shadow the Hedgehog look like Super Lucky's Tale.
Controls kinda suck. It was like this close to being a great game. Interesting level design, but holy crap the water levels suck and the camera is god awful in some places.
Probably not as fun today due to how derivative it seems, but underneath is a decently working game with a couple of nice challenges. Just be careful of the difficulty spikes.
I initially tried this out from a suggestion, but from all the other games coming up and not being on the best state of mind I struggled to keep my attention until later I varied up my streaming list to keep things interesting.
Because of this I intend to come back to this later and give it a real try.
