    The game is really fun and brings back what made crash fun with the original 3 games somewhat frustrating at times with the dark matter spin ability

    It's just the best Crash game since Warped. Innovative, but respecting the essence that we loved back in the day. For old fans and open to new public. Great design.

    The best Crash yet by far, and one of, if not the best platformers ever made.

    Looks and plays like a masterpiece-filled with tonnes of relatable content.

    10/10.

    Superou minhas expectativas (que já eram altas). O game está lindíssimo, a história divertida, a jogabilidade deliciosa, as fases e os bosses estão super criativas também, e a dificuldade... Tem quem ache que está muito exagerada, o game é de cara o mais difícil de toda a série, isso para zerar a história principal. Pegar o porque o 106% desse game está beirando a loucura, kkkkkk adorei.Superou minhas expectativas (que já eram altas).

    A best game ever in my childhood ever I've seen this so far and incredible new playable characters makes me so satisfying about it and Traveling interdimensional is awesome can't wait for Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart for more powerful in PS5

    An Epic game, a great structure, perfect level design and it is really fluid with a clear and new gameplay, not too far from the traditional crash! Playing it is challenging and rewarding, it is really worth it!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly, I couldn't of asked for anything more. For a series that I loved to come back and remain mostly true to its original formula is amazing. Especially since multiple producers have done crash dirty for over 10 years. This is a very hard game game. However, it is very rewarding.… Expand

    A phenomenal game, a spectacular sequel to the original trilogy. Yes, the gameplay gets difficult and can be at times brutal but I think that it does a great job replicating the original game’s difficulty using an expanded move set with more abilities. There are so many things to do and collect and the game keeps you busy for hours on end.

    Beautiful visuals, a fun challenge, great controls and creative and well designed levels makes this game one of, if not the best plataformer of all time. It feels bittersweet writing this as Toys for Bob became a Call of Duty support team but now that I have a metacritic account I want to recognize this game for the masterpiece it is.

    Триумфальное возвращение crash bandicoot. Игра стала мультяшней, но хардкорно - жопоразрывающей. Старая школа вернулась. Слава Крэшу, что не ввели в игру донатной помойки, а все скины даются за прохождение.

So in Crash 4 It’s About Time you play as Crash,Coco, Tawna or Dingodile with the main 3 trying to stop Cortex and N Trophy again and with Dingodile he’s getting revenge for the minions that burned down his restaurant. The game looks stunning the game runs at a great 60fps with a little bit of frame drops every once and a while. The colors look outstanding even in the new Inverted levels where say you have already beaten a stage you can go back into them with a new gimmick like spinning to get color back, it’s all topped off with amazing music and great level design that takes full advantage of everyone’s move sets. Crash feels amazing to control either with the analog stick or the d pad but it’s kind of **** when you slip off a edge and you lose your chance to grab the new flashback tapes where it’s a serious test of patience you have to hop on boxes and make sure not to die some of them are unforgiving. Tawna is a new playable character and she controls alright she has a grappling hook that can get boxes from a far but it would be better if there was a lock on feature. You can also control Dingodile how can hover in the air for a few seconds and can suck up boxes and spit them back out, it’s like the Poltergust 3000 from Luigi’s Mansion but again does not have a aim reticule. You can also play as Cortex who uses his gun for a short hover and turns enemies into platforms. The new feature are the new Quantum Masks, they are some good fun Lani-Loli slows you to shift through dimensions and get new platforms, Akano allows your spin attack to hover in the air while your jumping, Kupuna-Wa allows for you to stop slow down time for precise platforming, and Ika Ika allows for you to flip gravity. So the masks are really fun to use. But my favorite part is how they used the Wumpa Fruit and Gems, they got rid of lives in this game so you can die as many times as you want but they have added 6 Gems to each level including the Inverted levels 12 gems per stage. Wumpa Fruit can easily nab you 3 gems by filling the meter, there is obviously one by getting every box in the stage and there is a secret one in each stage as well but for the biggest pain you can’t die more than 3 times in a single stage. That turns this game into a completion nightmare. Overall this is the best Crash game we’ve gotten it’s so much fun and I highly recommend oh pick this up right now. Ranking Masterpiece.… Expand

    Toys for Bob's game is a welcome addition to the original trilogy, although you will hardly remember its levels or music. Crash Bandicoot 4 is two steps below the amazing Super Mario Odyssey and Yoshi’s Crafted World.

    I honestly did not expect such a stellar game. Crash Bandicoot 4 is breathtakingly beautiful, features an amazing soundtrack full of references to the original trilogy, offers tons of content, and thrilled me to bits with its brilliant level design. What’s more, it stayed true to its gameplay roots, while introducing loads of great new mechanics. For me it’s the game of the year. I salute you, Toys For Bob! [12/2020, p.58]

    Crash Bandicoot 4 is a worthy addition to the Crash legacy. It captures the spirit, fun, and challenge of the original games, and adds a lot more that genuinely makes the experience even better rather than simply padding out the gameplay. The game is certainly challenging and the levels could probably use a few more checkpoints, but the number in the game is truer to the spirit of the originals than modern gaming standards. A little perseverance will get you through the game, but it’s going to take a little work if you want to be a Crash completionist. Overall it’s a great platform game that perfectly blends the old and the new into a fun new experience.
