Gex

About

Gex stars a chatty gecko armed with suction cups for wall climbing and a tongue to snatch power-ups from hard-to-reach spots. Your goal is to grab scattered remotes that unlock new TV-themed worlds, battling enemies and breaking TVs along the way. The platforming mixes precise jumps with weaponized comedy, as you chuck objects and use environment-specific tricks to progress. Sparse dialogue is packed with snarky one-liners that fit the chaotic 90s arcade vibe. The game’s charm lies in its absurd TV Land aesthetic, where every level feels like a warped sitcom set or cartoon maze. Despite its age, the level design remains clever, balancing exploration with action. With a 78% on RAWG and a cult following, Gex thrives on its quirky personality and the joy of seeing a lizard battle giant appliances. It’s a reminder that sometimes the best games are the ones that don’t take themselves seriously.
