10 Best Platforming Games on PS5
From Astro Bot to Ratchet & Clank, here are the best platformers on PS5.
Like many other retro collections, there will be additional features. It will have a Music Player that lets you play all three soundtracks of the games, a Media Player to look at promo material and artwork from when the games first launched, and finally a completely new behind-the-scenes interview with Dana Gould, who voiced Gex for the American release. This is something theYu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collectionis sadly missing as it only features scans of the manuals from past games.
The History of Gex
The Gex series is a platformer series that was originally developed by Crystal Dynamics, the studio that has created Tomb Raider games for the last few decades. It also created the disappointingMarvel’s Avengersgame in 2020 and is currently working onPerfect Darkwith Xbox Game Studios and The Initiative.
Gex originally released for the 3DO on August 05, 2025.
As you’d expect from this era of gaming, Gex the Gecko is a wise-cracking protagonist that says outdated jokes every few minutes and he has plenty of attitude. While this does sound potentially cringeworthy,IGN’s review at the time of the first game’s release was complementary. “Usually, wise-cracking voice overs suck, but here it really does work,” the article said.
The second game Enter the Gecko has a surprising number of animations with over 125 moves at the protagonist’s disposal. The press release says there are “Whip-cracking tail attacks, flying karate kicks, tongue grabbing and [and the ability to climb up walls.” We’ll be able to master all of the animal’s moves when this remastered collection launches this summer.
