    Crash 4 is an excellent purchase for all those PC players who really want to put themselves to the test with a tough-as-nails platformer. Toys for Bob proved once again to be a solid fit for the franchise, expertly following in the tracks of Naughty Dog while adding their own to the mix. Definitely give it a chance, and don’t be discouraged by its difficulty – we’ve all been through it.

    From the gameplay to the story, the heart and soul of Crash Bandicoot is here, and still as exciting as ever. It’s amazing that a series that has been so beloved by fans, and has spawned countless spin-offs - some great, and some not so much - has managed to return without feeling any different. It’s like the past 20 years has been one long fever dream for Crash, and he’s now awoken from a deep slumber for one last triumphant return.

    Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is the perfect sequel: on the one hand the game winks to the classic trilogy, on the other hand introduces interesting new features in terms of gameplay and structure.

    Exceptional level design and brilliantly silly humour elevate Crash 4 to a more than worthy successor.

    A great game, even if it's horribly frustrating a lot of the time. While it's a wonderful follow-up to a classic series, this port makes it a bit of a tougher sell than other versions of the game.

    As for anti-aliasing, it can be pushed up to x8. Both the Xbox controller and the DualShock 4 are obviously known to help Crash leap where it matters. No technical problem to report, PC gamers will have on March 26 a nice version of Crash Bandicoot 4 capable of running at 4K / 60fps.

    Crash 4 is the kind of retro throwback that actually earns its spot as a successor to the original trilogy. There’s the occasional bandicoot stumble, but it's a responsive, precise platformer that looks as good as it plays.

If you don't have an xbox one controller it is a crapshoot if yours will work or not. They really screwed this game over by putting it on the BNET launcher.… Full Review »
