    Reading reviews did not really help me to know if this game is good or bad, plus I really dont care about needed internet connection or not...
    I was a great fan of Crash Bandicoot & Crash Team Racing when I was younger, so for those people who would like to replay and feel a second time, with nowadays graphics, this game should satisfy you.

    this is a surprising jump back to the old school style of crash bandicoot, However it has a few glitches, bugs, and other small details that really make it more of a good game rather than a great game. aside from that though its near perfect, hard but a nice game for those that were awaiting a new crash game

    Really fun game. Reminds me a lot of the old ones, but the graphics are really good and the game feels very polished.

Personagens novos são adicionados, tendo cada um mecânicas individuais que os deixam únicos. As novas máscaras acrescentadas geram um game design extremamente divertido e desafiador, considerando uma das melhores partes do jogo.

    O único ponto negativo a se destacar é a trilha sonora, no qual é bem esquecível. De resto, super recomendo pegarem, tanto se forem fãs ou tiverem o desejo que conhecer os jogos do Crash.    … Expand

    Easily the best crash bandicoot game I have ever played.

However can't give it a 10/10  because of the loading times and other few nitpicks, getting the box gem can be a fun challenge but some of the levels have boxes hidden of screen so you will miss boxes a lot and it's a cheap way to force you replaying the levels and wait for a long loading times, but collecting boxes is not the only side stuff you can do, you have time trials of course and the no death gem and the perfect relics, and the perfect relics are ridiculous the levels are too long and difficult so beating them while breaking every box and not dying just don't work it's not fun it's just tedious because you have to wait around half minute every time you replay the levels, a solution for this is just remove the loading screen and the completion will be more than fine and manageable, the inverted mode is cool but I don't know why you have to collect six gems in every level again, the flashback tapes are the only great side content it'll give you new levels and extra dialogues, those things are optional so don't bother doing them if you are not interested, playing the game casually and just going from level to level and enjoying the level design until you beat the story it's one of the best platforming games ever made… Expand

Меня лишь разочаровало бесполезность яблок в "современном" режиме с респаунами, слабоватая детализация и какая-то слабая яркость игры, хотя по визуалу "красочности" достаточно. Так что топ 1 прыгалка для меня до сих пор - Crash: Twinsanity (2004), где ты мог кидать тупого Нео Кортекса как куклу, чтобы он помогал тебе решить задачи)… Expand

    N' sane Trilogy did very well with taking him back. Crash 4 continues a legacy that stopped 2 gens back. I starts slow and patiently introduces you to the new mechanics with no hurry to learn them, you can use them whenever they're needed; levels respect this, if you don't want to do them then the game doesn't punish you with it but you still need to learn them to get all collectibles; nowN' sane Trilogy did very well with taking him back.

I starts slow and patiently introduces you to the new mechanics with no hurry to learn them, you can use them whenever they're needed; levels respect this, if you don't want to do them then the game doesn't punish you with it but you still need to learn them to get all collectibles; now that we're talking about mechanics, the move of the characters are fresh and smooth; very accurate to the player's orders; specially on jumps thanks to the circle that shows where you're going to land. The voice cast is good, they make voices be with the character appearance; with them came a fresh redesign in some of them like Coco or Tawna for example.

    But not everything is good, and in this game the nightmare are collectibles. Remember when i said that you needed to learn new mechanics to get them? Well, some are insane and someone with no much time is not able to learn them and use them to get all of them in all of the levels. There's another thing, the formula of getting something powerful to beat the villain on the game; that has been on crash games since the begining and it seems a bit burned after all these years.

    Is it a bad game? No, if you're not a completionist. Casual players and newcommers can enjoy a lot the game equally; completionists, that's another story... hard but not impossible.    … Expand

    (Reseña sacada de mi cuenta de Steam: APolChrome)

    Después de haber completado la historia de Crash Bandicoot 4, puedo decir que es un juegazo. Hay que hacer unos cuantos matices antes de entrar en profundidad en el juego: si eres un completista nato que se hace todos los juegos al 100% o más (dependiendo del juego), planteate la compra (menos si has completado los otros Crash Bandicoots    (Reseña sacada de mi cuenta de Steam: APolChrome)

    Después de haber completado la historia de Crash Bandicoot 4, puedo decir que es un juegazo. Hay que hacer unos cuantos matices antes de entrar en profundidad en el juego: si eres un completista nato que se hace todos los juegos al 100% o más (dependiendo del juego), planteate la compra (menos si has completado los otros Crash Bandicoots al máximo). Por el resto, Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time es una muy buena continuación de la trilogía original de PSX.

    Jugablemente, han hecho unas cuantas mejoras respecto a la N. Sane Trilogy. El movimiento de Crash y de Coco se siente más fluido, ahora hay dos modos (el moderno sin vidas y el clásico con vidas), han añadido un círculo cada vez que saltas que indica dónde vas a caer (una mejora que parece simple, pero que marca la diferencia), han añadido más personajes que hacen que el juego se sienta diferente (aunque después hablaré más de eso) y en general, han añadido más contenido.

    El diseño de niveles es muy bueno. Con las 4 máscaras nuevas que dan distintas capacidades (que se exprimen mucho a lo largo del juego), los niveles se sienten más variados (aun siguiendo muchos el estilo de los originales). Estos tienen un carácter más abierto que los originales, dando muchas veces la opción de desviarte para conseguir un coleccionable. En este juego hay 4 tipos de niveles: los normales, la N. Versión (que son como los originales pero con alguna cosa cambiada visualmente y que están del revés de derecha a izquierda), los jefes y las líneas temporales alternativas o algo así. Quiero centrarme en estos últimos. Si bien no me han parecido malos, si que me molesta que te corten en medio del nivel para que hagas la otra mitad con Crash, ya que se siente más como una excusa y rejugarte la mitad del nivel molesta.

    Visualmente, es un salto enorme respecto a los remasters. Le da al juego un estilo cartoon que es el que realmente le pega a la saga. Y la música, es Crash Bandicoot, temazo tras temazo (aunque es la peor de toda la saga a mi parecer)

    La historia es simple, pero tiene giros que la hacen ser ligeramente más distinta y en general es más interesante que las de los originales, pero no os esperéis una narrativa mucho más compleja.

    En resumen, Crash Bandicoot 4: It`s About Time es un juegazo y una muy buena continuación de los Crash Bandicoots originales. Su dificultad en la última parte puede llegar a ser absurda, pero por el resto, es un muy buen juego: Recomendadísimo.    … Expand

    Crash 4 è senza ombra di dubbio il miglior Crash di sempre, fatto con amore e passione verso il bandicoot arancione. Difficile ma divertente al tempo stesso. Storia abbastanza lunga per il genere platform, un piacere da giocare.

    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 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.

    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.
