Nintendo Life: 7 / 10 by Mitch Vogel

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos wasn't exactly a revolutionary entry in the 3D platforming genre even back when it released, and though it still doesn't necessarily 'wow' us today, it certainly is an entertaining and worthwhile adventure. Things like the new controls, enhanced presentation, and extensive museum content are satisfying additions, and the core adventure itself is still good retro 3D platforming fun, warts and all. We'd give this a strong recommendation to any fans who have fond memories of playing this on a CRT back in the day, and even if this would be your first time playing it, we'd still suggest you give it a shot if you've been through the best 3D platformers the Switch has to offer and still want more. Croc is a solid, if unspectacular retro adventure, and stands as a worthwhile addition to the Switch library.

Croc Legend of the Gobbos is an adorable yet sometimes frustrating retro adventure.

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.

  • Boss Fights: The boss encounters were often described as lackluster and not challenging enough, which detracted from the overall experience.

  • Croc 2 Remaster: A frequent request was for a remaster of *Croc 2*, with many expressing hope that the success of this remaster would lead to a sequel being developed.

Summary

  • Overall, while *Croc: Legend of the Gobbos* received a warm reception for its nostalgic value and quality remastering, it also faced criticism regarding its pricing and certain gameplay mechanics that showed their age.
