GEX Trilogy is an action game. The game brings back one of gaming’s most beloved gecko heroes, revitalizing classic adventures filled with humor, creativity, and nostalgia. This collection offers three memorable titles: the original 2D platformer, GEX, and its two acclaimed 3D sequels, Enter the Gecko and Deep Cover Gecko.  

In GEX Trilogy, enhanced for modern play, this compilation retains the quirky charm, irreverent humor, and enjoyable platforming mechanics that originally made GEX a beloved character. Gameplay across all three games centers around inventive platforming, witty parodies, and character-driven action.  

Relive classic adventures 

GEX’s distinctive abilities—tail-whipping enemies, climbing walls, suction-cup paws—ensure each level remains engaging and full of opportunities for clever exploration. The trilogy creatively spoofs popular movies and television series, turning familiar tropes into lively, comedic playgrounds. Levels are vividly themed, featuring diverse environments filled with hidden secrets, collectible items, and unique platforming challenges. Dana Gould’s comedic voice-acting shines brightly throughout the trilogy. 

His hilarious one-liners, sarcastic impressions, and witty pop-culture references consistently enhance the experience, making each scene a joy to explore. The comedic dialogue perfectly complements the colorful visuals and varied gameplay, keeping a playful tone even in challenging moments. Visually updated, the entirety of the game maintains faithful artistic designs while offering smoother animations, improved textures, and refined camera controls.  

These enhancements make the gameplay experience enjoyable for both newcomers and returning fans. The accessible yet engaging platforming mechanics ensure gameplay feels approachable while maintaining enough depth and complexity to keep veteran players invested. Another strength of the trilogy is its variety. The games provide numerous gameplay styles that keep things fresh and exciting throughout. However, gameplay can feel dated for some modern audiences. 

The long-awaited PAL versions are now playable

Many European fans of GEX have been asking for this, and it’s finally here in GEX Trilogy. You can now play the PAL versions of Enter the Gecko and Deep Cover Gecko. These versions feature the unforgettable voiceovers by Leslie Phillips and Danny John-Jules, which were a huge part of the experience for players in PAL regions growing up.

Once you’ve updated the game, you can pick between PAL and NTSC versions by switching the region flag in the main menu. It’s a nice way to relive childhood memories or hear the regional voice acting for the first time. Just keep in mind: your save files won’t transfer between versions, since each one runs on a separate build.

Platforming with personality 

The GEX Trilogy offers a nostalgically entertaining platforming experience, characterized by humorous parody, creative level design, and engaging mechanics. Players enjoy diverse gameplay through 2D and 3D environments, exploring vibrant worlds filled with clever puzzles, secret areas, and humorous references. Enhanced visuals and improved controls preserve the classic charm, making it approachable for newcomers while still delighting veteran gamers through witty storytelling, enjoyable platforming, and memorable humor.
