Gamer Social Club: 8 / 10 by Vikki McGowan

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.

Nindie Spotlight: 8.1 / 10 by Justin Nation

While it has some graphical quirks that can be distracting at times, this pretty chill mix of exploration and puzzle-solving without any clear threats is a nice change of pace

Gamer Escape: 7 / 10 by Eliot Lefebvre

Ultimately, I can’t be too hard on Gecko Gods. It is a soft, gentle little thing of a game, not too expensive and offering exactly what it says on the tin. My issues with the game and how it makes use of its protagonist (or doesn’t) is not a fatal flaw. But it does mean that the game that I was hoping for turned out to not be the one that I got, and that means there’s kind of a harder ceiling on it than there might otherwise be.
