The Gecko Gods Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Lizards are cool. Previously represented in gaming by the wisecracking Gex, a figure whose verbosity was only matched by his divisiveness, Gecko Gods sees
The small issues don’t detract from the fantastic 6 hours I had squidging around as an increasingly more neon gecko, solving sliding block puzzles and sunning myself in my boat. If you’re looking for a short, relaxing experience full of charm with puzzles just tricky enough that you’ll need to think, but not too hard, Gecko Gods is the perfect Sunday afternoon game to chill out with. Oh and yes, you can customise your gecko.
Exploration in every direction, through the eyes of a small lizard chosen by the gods.
Gecko Gods doesn’t provide much challenge, with repetitive puzzles and trivialized platforming thanks to its generous movement mechanics. That won’t be a problem, however, if you’re just looking for a cute, relaxed experience. Chances are, if you were drawn to this game because of the cute gecko you can play as, the title has everything you’d want, if not much more.
Gecko Gods’ lizard-centric puzzle solving and exploration calls to mind games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Ico. Jay Weaver reviews.
