I was given rhis game as a gift by onr of my steam friends I give it a Yazoo! It works well on bazzite os too! 👍💯

Children, let me take you back in time, when I opened my final birthday present one year: the original PlayStation, the thing I wanted more than anything else in the world. In addition to the three games my parents got me, there was a demo disc that came with the console. For you whippersnappers reading this, a demo disc is what it sounds like: a disc containing demos for various games. One of these demos was [i]Croc: Legend of the Gobbos[/i]. Eventually, I was able to get the full game. I never properly beat it back then thanks to a mix of my lack of skill at the time and my memory card no longer working. Yes, youngin's, we needed a separate item inserted into the console to save or we'd lose all progress any time we turned the game off. Now, I have finally been able to play the game all the way through. You play as the titular Croc, who needs to rescue his adoptive family, the titular Gobbos, after they've been kidnapped by the evil Baron Dante, who's goals are to... I don't know... be a jerk, I guess. You make your way through your typical platforming stages (grassy field, snowy landscape, desert, and castle) while collecting crystals and gobbos and defeating bosses. The platforming is fairly easy early on with it becoming more precise the farther in you get. This rerelease appears to be faithful to the original. The main differences are an option not to use the original tank controls and higher definition graphics. The colors are still vibrant and cheery, and the soundtrack is great, although the fact that the music changes every time you enter a door can be jarring. Unfortunately, not all is well with this visit to the past. There appears to be a slight input lag to jumps that I remember being frustrated with in the sequel, but not the original, and moments when Croc will just not grab a ledge I jump toward that I also don't remember being a problem. It has been a long time, though. Some of the HD upscaling also seems to end once you reach the castle levels with some very noticeable missed objects. Finally, some achievements unlocked for me when they should not have. I got the achievement for getting 30 gold times after only earning one, the one for beating all boss battles without taking damage after unlocking the first bonus level, and the one for collecting all puzzle pieces after collecting 500 gems. It beats an achievement NOT unlocking, but it's still odd. Still, it was nice to revisit this hidden gem of yesteryear and see my boy again. Is it worth it? Well... it [i]was[/i] 50 bucks back in the day, but 30 is still pretty high for a 30-year-old game that won't even take a shift at work to beat. Maybe if it had come with its sequel, the pricetag could be justified, but you should probably wait for it to go on sale.

El gran padre de los plataformeros 3D que muchos desconocen, pues sus diseñadores trabajaron en el mítico Super Mario 64 y con esa experiencia crearon esta joya para el PS-one y PC. Este Remaster no tocó absolutamente nada de la jugabilidad y es una carta de amor al juego original. Si lo jugaste en tu niñez, no te lo puedes perder.

Well what can I say about this game which was originally one of my earliest PS1 games back in the day. It's a great nostalgia trip. The difficulty ramping is a bit dodgy in places but overall it didn't affect my enjoyment of the game. The atmosphere of the game remains faithful to the original with a new-coat-of-paint freshness. The soundtrack is as amazing as ever, along with most of the sound effects. The ability to change the graphics to a more classical look is cool even though I didn't use it as much as I thought I would. However, the game is not without flaws. Some of the hitboxes on some of the enemies are a bit skew-whiff, which becomes a problem when some of the achievements require damageless runs (some of them against bosses) and some of the platforms can be inconsistent when you try to grab the ledge. Also, the shadow of where you are going to land is too faint, leading to many frustrating deaths especially when there are large drops involved. These flaws can be very frustrating when it comes to the time trial aspect of each level. Furthermore, a lot of sound effects appear to be outright missing, which can be an issue during the boss battles as it requires you to rely on the health bar to determine whether your attack worked. **Difficulty to 100%** Moderate. Strict time trials coupled with imperfect mechanics. **Time to 100%** 8.8 hours **Grind Factor** Tedious. Conclusion: A must-buy for those nostalgic for this 1997 classic with modern graphics, but the flaws can make the achievement grind quite frustrating. Just wait for it to go on sale.

GET THAT CROC BACK IN YOUR LIFE!!! (Even have fun time trials and other stuff, ace your childhood.)

Junk chasing junk, i remembered if fondly, too bad it was just my memory

Meu Deus esse jogo é pura nostalgia...Poder jogar depois de 30 anos com esse gráfico incrível não tem preço! Amooo
