I honestly thought this wasn’t going to be that bad. I mean we all like to make our jokes about the Gex series but I thought there would be SOMETHING to like here. It all comes down to the level design. Levels have multiple objectives, but often just place them Wherever instead of having clear sections for different objectives. It’s like if someone translated the level design of bad Amiga maze platformers into 3D, it’s impressive to see someone fuck up the collect-a-thon format this bad. Super Mario 64 had so many mountain levels for a reason, this is like if those were made completely flat and spread out as to be made as tedious as possible. I got my head i my hands here, I didn’t think I would end up preferring Gex 1 to this. Let’s hope Gex 3 has anything worth salvaging or else the next person I see shitposting about Gex is getting fucking choked. I never want to hear anyone invoke that devil.
