A remaster of the popular 3D platforming game from 1997. Croc: Legend of the Gobbos Remaster allows us to play as a small crocodile trying to rescue his friends. We can fight enemies, explore levels, solve puzzles and collect crystals to unlock new content.
Croc: Legend of the Gobbos Remaster is a new version of the 1997 platforming game, offering improved graphics and control schemes, as well as additional content. The remaster was created by Argonaut Games studio, known for the original.
The story in Croc: Legend of the Gobbos Remaster is no different from the original.
The main character is a lively crocodile named Croc, raised by furry creatures of the Gobbos race. Due to the invasion by the evil Baron Dante and his entourage, the Gobbos were kidnapped and imprisoned in cages. The only survivor is the titular little crocodile, who undertakes the fight against the oppressor in order to free his friends.
Controls in Croc: Legend of the Gobbos Remaster have been updated compared to the original. The game is still about exploring various levels, defeating enemies and collecting crystals. Having enough crystals is a requirement to unlock entrances to hidden locations and liberate all Gobbos. The number of friends we manage to free affects the ending of the story.
The crocodile hero fights using his tail, performing a full spin with it, and stomping - it is a vigorous ground drop after a jump. With this type of strike, he breaks crates containing items to collect.
Dexterity challenges are diversified by simple logic puzzles.
The studio has also prepared Crocipedia, a large digital museum containing assets such as game design documents, concept art, animation tests, as well as interviews with team members.
Croc: Legend of the Gobbos Remaster offers improved high-resolution graphics that still retain their simple, colorful 3D appearance.

Game Ratings for Croc: Legend of the Gobbos Video Game.
Thumb Culture: 5 / 5
In a sea of unnecessary remasters, Croc is a breath of fresh air and a game that actually warrants a remaster. I have had so much fun going back to this classic game. It’s been the most fun I’ve had in a while and is easy to just pick up and play. I have given Croc the Thumb Culture Platinum Award because I had fun every second I was playing. I think the flashing gems need adjusting by the devs to make the game easier on the eyes. Aside from that, this game was perfect. It deserves nothing less than the platinum because it clearly isn’t planning on giving me one!
Impulsegamer: 3.8 / 5 by Jay Davies
Despite the kinks and knitpicks, Legend of the Gobbos will endear players with its accommodating easiness, making it a lovely, gentle and ideal welcoming to retro gaming for children, while giving adult retro lovers a pleasing blast from the past to indulge in. It's not perfect obviously and it lacks the inspiration and magic of its contemporaries, but all the same it was a good game for its time that deserves to be experienced. The remastering effort on display here is lovely and should certainly entertain and please gamers young and old. A legendary platformer it may not be, but Legend of the Gobbos is certainly a worthwhile adventure that's returned with a solid remastering effort.
Checkpoint Gaming: 7 / 10 by Omi Koulas
While the Croc: Legend of the Gobbos remaster is a love letter to the original, packed with passionate behind-the-scenes features and a beautiful visual update, it's hard to ignore that platforming has come a long way since 1997. The gameplay is clunky and simplistic compared to the experiences we've come to expect today. But for those who remember the days of tail-whipping, saving Gobbos, and hopping around the colourful worlds of Croc, this remaster is pure nostalgia gold.
