Crash Bandicoot™ 4: It’s About Time

A truly amazing Crash game still after 6 years. The 106% grind was definetly difficult and it definetly tested my sanity, but i can't tell you that it wasn't worth every second. 10/10 platformer in my eyes, such an amazing masterpeice! This took me about 29 hours of playtime to fully 106% the game, albeit i have beaten the main story a couple of times on various consoles so i knew where alot of the stuff was. My main gripe with alot of the post game stuff was how devilishly sadistic some of the N.Verted hidden gems were. I had to look up almost ALL of them, since they were either offscreen to the side, in the air, or behind something stupid. Aside from that, the N.Verted stages were pretty tedious, but atleast i could've died more than once rather than having to do it all in one go, as i went for the N.Sanely Perfect Relics before i went onto the post game content. As for the Time Trials, they weren't that bad in my eyes, although a couple did stick out to me as being pretty annoying. For reference i am able to get the developer times on alot of these levels pretty easily, but although i got almost half of the developer relics, the remaining ones were some of the hardest ones. For example, on Thar He Blows! i was about 10 seconds off of the developer, and Cortex's levels i was about 20 seconds away (apart from Seeing Double and The Crate Escape which i luckily got by pure surprise). All in all, this game is genuinely amazing, it's been a part of my life for the past 6 years, and i am ever so grateful to finally have been able to fully 106% the game, i enjoyed the painful ride, it taught me to like the game more. Thank you, Toys For Bob, you have made an amazing game. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3739784696

The hardest Crash Bandicoot game in the entire franchise, by far, but it's still really good.

buen juego, divertido y mantiene la escencia de crash, el mas dificil de la saga lejos, pero si te gusta crash, lo necesitas

muy buen juego lo recomiendo

Good game. Some parts are pretty hard. Levels are a bit long. Overall fun. If you're a completionist you can play this for hundreds of hours trying to get everything.

I remember reading a youtube comment on a walkthrough for one of the super hard bonus challenges in this game, it was like: "the blood of women and children were spilled to create this level. the devs forged it in the deepest and darkest fires of the earth" They were right because this game gets harder than I did when they announced the release of this game (especially if you're a completionist). Imo, the difficulty isn't much of a problem, but the game's wayyy too repetitive. Getting 100% feels like a massive chore, most people gave up on it from what I researched, especially when you have to 100% complete each level of the game TWICE. Idk what the devs were thinking. Also, the game's too cartoony, like a mobile game. No enemies or bosses feel menacing at all, it looks more like a kid's game. Remember when N.brio drank that green potion stuff in Crash bandicoot 1 during his boss fight, then turned into hulk and started yelling? That intimidated the ♥♥♥♥ out of my 9 year old self, but it was great. Here, every enemy and villain feels like a dumb joke. N.gin and N.brio lost about 50 IQ points. Plus, none of the soundtracks were memorable, unlike the original three, except the level-choosing hub. However, the game runs flawlessly - no crashes, bugs, or weird stuttering (even with borderless window). They really nailed this part at least, which is a breath of fresh air considering games nowadays. And, I still enjoyed the overall gameplay, variety of levels, and speedrunning aspect of the game. I still think it's good overall, but don't expect something like the original three. I'd probably give it a 7.3/10 rating.

7/10
