Our take on GEX Trilogy
Players looking for contemporary exploration systems may bounce off when the collection settles into its retro platforming structure. The wall arrives at the movement model itself: two games offer updated analog controls, but the experience remains built around older 2D and 3D platforming conventions.
What is GEX Trilogy?
GEX Trilogy collects three platforming games: one classic 2D adventure and two 3D adventures.
The first includes display settings such as CRT effects, borders, and adjustable screen sizes. The 3D games add analog movement, while retaining the original 8-way digital controls as an option. The collection presents the 3D titles at higher resolution, with native 16:9 widescreen support and improved performance for the final game. All three include rewind and saving at any point. Bonus content includes a music player with tracks from each game, a museum of key art, classic television commercials, and an interview with Dana Gould, Gex's voice actor.
