Crash Bandicoot™ 4: It’s About Time

It's okaaaay. Somehow they managed to take all the fun out of crash bandicoot.

Ultimately looks better in the videos than it is playing the game. I got it at a discount but still cant recommend it, it just comes up short in the most important aspect - is it fun. It can be fun, but it more often is annoying than fun. Pros: Charming environments. Lots of variety. Visually pretty impressive. Cons: Way to hard, you will die a lot in this one. The camera and the 3D element of the game - you'll often die because the view from the camera hides something or the depth perspective of things make it hard to make jumps land as you want or you end up closer to something dangerous than you thought. Almost everything kills you with one hit which is just annoying. Checkpoints are to few and far between forcing you to replay large sections of the game. Nonsensical enemies - its usually very hard to determine how best to approach an enemy or obstacle in the game. Its not obvious how an enemy can be killed or an obstacle avoided. Things are usually not explained to you either but your just thrown in there and forced to figure it out through trial and error, which could be fine if things were not so inconsistent and weird that it often is.

After 20 years, I just came back to play the new version of the Crash Bandicoot franchise, and here we are: I don't know what its developers consumed during the game design, but it took me almost two years to finish the game. Souls-like games are just like adventure games beside this franchise, tbh. After each mission, my body refused to play one more mission, and each level reduced a percentage of my own lifetime. I highly recommend the game for boomers and even new generations to play, but for your safety, never play more than one level each day. The game design team tried to preserve the game’s old style while adding new platforming features to create a fresh, more modern experience and show that this franchise still has potential. Gameplay: 9/10 (sometimes you just can't continue) Story: 7.5/10 Art Style: 10/10 Music: 9/10 Puzzles: 9/10 Game Difficulty: ∞/10

Just way too annoying.

The game runs great, and the controls are what you would hope for. Well made game, but from a creativity perspective, the game wasn't a classic Crash game. It didn't click for me, and this is from someone that played the og ps1 version of the OT as a kid. I just can't recommend it. The games difficulty is build through 100%ing the game, with just beating it normally pretty much a walk through. The level design was solid enough, but only a few moments of fun I come to expect from the game.

Que hermoso juego, sin duda es el mas difícil de toda la saga y se siente mucho en los primeros niveles, si jugaste la trilogía no se compara en nada con este, hasta los bonus son muy complicados si le sacas el 100% de los logros, la verdad si te ganaste todo mi respeto

Honestly this is one of the best Crash Bandicoot games ever made. Genius level design. Great Soundtrack. Awesome Voice Actors. Pretty ass Graphics. One of the best controlling movements in a 3D Platformer. Etc. Etc. but this is one flaw with this game that is a major one. 100%ing this game is absolute hell. Do yourself a favor and get the "N-Hanced" mod by Rayrobi on Nexus Mods. It makes the 100%ing the game a bit better but is still major ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to 100% this game. Its very unfair and mentally exhausting. Caddicarus made a good video on it explaining why its hell to 100%. Do yourself a favor wait for a sale and get the "N-Hanced" mod when playing this game

Great game if you want to torture yourself.
