GEX Trilogy PS5 Gameplay – "Enter the Geckoverse in Style!" - Rich's Ten Minute Taster Quick Look 🦎 @LimitedRunGames #RetroGames #Retrogaming

🦎WATCH RICH'S GAMEPLAY VIDEO HERE👇🏻

Rich decides to fire up the Gex trilogy on his PS5 for the first time and gets stuck in the Media Dimension [LITERALLY] !

The Gex Trilogy bundles together three games starring Gex, a wisecracking, TV-obsessed gecko who battles the villainous Rez across a surreal media-themed universe. Originally released in the '90s, the trilogy includes:

1. Gex (1995)

Gex lives a laid-back life in his Maui mansion, glued to his television. But when he accidentally swallows a robotic fly—actually a surveillance drone sent by Rez—he’s sucked into the Media Dimension, a bizarre world built from TV tropes. To escape, Gex must collect remote controls and battle Rez’s minions across levels inspired by horror, sci-fi, and cartoons.

2. Gex: Enter the Gecko (1998)

After defeating Rez, Gex retires—until the villain resurfaces. Government agents recruit Gex to return to the Media Dimension. With new gadgets and a bigger budget, Gex explores 3D levels parodying pop culture, from kung fu flicks to Looney Tunes. This entry marked the series’ jump to full 3D platforming and introduced Agent Xtra, a secret agent who assists Gex on his mission.

3. Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko (1999)

Rez is back again, and this time he’s kidnapped Agent Xtra. Gex dives back into the Media Dimension to rescue her, navigating levels themed around war movies, superhero adventures, and spy thrillers. The game added new mechanics like vehicle segments and sidekicks, while doubling down on Gex’s signature one-liners and TV references.

The trilogy is known for its quirky humour, genre-spoofing levels, and Gex’s endless stream of pop culture quips. With the 2025 remastered release by Limited Run Games, players can now revisit this nostalgic trip through television history on modern platforms.

“This Game Lets You Copy & Paste The World! 🤯 | Ruffy and the Riverside Ten Minute Taster Quick Look On Nintendo Switch 2 🖼️🎨🖌️ @pr_pirate @zocklabs #IndieGame #GameDev

Rich sits down to play a wonderful 3D platformer called Ruffy and The Riverside! The developers at Zockrates Laboratories drew heavily from their childhood memories of classic platformers like Crash Bandicoot and Ratchet & Clank. They wanted to capture that same sense of vibrant, cartoonish adventure and playful exploration.

👇🏻WATCH RICH'S NINTENDO SWITCH 2 GAMEPLAY VIDEO HERE 👇🏻

The real spark came from something much more personal: a confusing old drawing. The studio’s CEO, Dr. Patrick Ruckdeschel, stumbled upon a black-and-white sketch that looked like a waterfall—but he couldn’t tell if it was water or lava. 

That ambiguity led to a lightbulb moment: what if a game let you change the texture of the world itself? That’s how the game’s signature SWAP mechanic—copying and pasting textures to alter the environment—was born!

Good to Know:

• a story playthrough will take about 9-10 hours
• and average playthrough with ~80% of collectables will be 12-14 hours
• and a 100% playthrough without a guide will take you 16-18 hours

Breakout Beyond Nintendo Switch 2 Gameplay 🧱 @atari

Rich bounces into Breakout Beyond on his freshly baked Nintendo Switch 2. This game is a fresh take on the classic brick-breaking game, developed by Choice Provisions (known for the Bit.Trip series) and published by Atari. Instead of the traditional vertical gameplay, this version flips the formula sideways, making players progress horizontally through neon-drenched levels.

The game features 72 levels, each with unique puzzles and special blocks that grant power-ups like explosive blasts, protective barriers, and even a laser cannon. Players can rack up combos to intensify the visual and audio effects, creating a spectacular light show. There's also a focus mode that slows down time for precision shots, though it comes at the cost of your score multiplier.

For those looking for an extra challenge, Breakout Beyond includes an endless mode with global leader boards, allowing players to test their skills against the best. Plus, local two-player co-op lets you team up with a friend for double the brick-breaking chaos.
