Game trailer
The premise
Croc heads to the mainland to find his parents while a resurrected Baron Dante seeks revenge. The player crosses four villages, rescues Gobbos and faces new Guardians. Croc gains a triple jump and drives cars, minecarts, speedboats, a hang glider and an airplane (official site). The Croc2pedia, an in-game museum, gathers development documents, cut content and interviews with the original and remaster teams.
What the reviews say
GamePitt gives it 9/10, praising a colourful, fun game that is modernised but keeps classic modes, with catchy music and plenty of bonus features. Use a Potion likes remastered visuals that can be switched to the original PlayStation look, solid performance with no load times and an excellent Croc2pedia. PlayStation Universe calls it a lovingly crafted return aimed first at fans of 1990s platformers.
The drawbacks
PlayStation Universe finds the sequel weaker than the first game through a modern lens. Use a Potion feels some gameplay additions miss the mark, such as upgrades that are not permanent. Everyeye.it (6/10) notes that Croc can do little more than jump and that added checkpoints lower the challenge, though they can be turned off. GamePitt's only complaint is the chatty Gobbos.
Prices
As of 11 November 2026, the game costs €29.99 on Steam, the PlayStation Store (PS5 and PS4) and the Microsoft Store (Xbox Series). The Switch version was not found on the French Nintendo eShop, and Switch 2 editions are announced as in the works. Physical editions were not checked in France.
Who is it for?
Players nostalgic for Croc and late-1990s 3D platformers, and families. Those expecting a modern, demanding platformer will find it dated.
