    Crash is back and better than ever
    It is pure nostalgia but unlike other movies or games it stays faithful to the originals with changes that just make it better. The only disappointment is that it didn't fix the many flaws the originals had but as a remastered is excellent.

    Introduction: After many years of Activision neglect of the license know as Crash Bandicoot, the orange marsupial is back with his original 3 games, redone with a fresh coat of paint. The only problem is that Crash should have gotten more than just a paint job.

    Story: Not much to say here. The story is exactly the same as the original 3 games. The only difference is the updated    Introduction: After many years of Activision neglect of the license know as Crash Bandicoot, the orange marsupial is back with his original 3 games, redone with a fresh coat of paint. The only problem is that Crash should have gotten more than just a paint job.

    Story: Not much to say here. The story is exactly the same as the original 3 games. The only difference is the updated animation that really helps fleshes out the world of Crash Bandicoot. No complaints here.

    Gameplay: All your favorite mechanics from the old games are back as well. You will be jumping, sliding, and ground pounding your way through challenging platforming levels. Although something was changed in this updated version of the game. Crash uses the jumping physics of Crash 3 in ALL THREE GAMES! This can be a problem from levels in crash 1 & 2 that rely heavily on the jumping from the first two games. Levels like "The High Road" are a good example of a level that could be easily done in the original, that is hard as hell in the remake. The hit detection of platforms has also changed in the remakes. Edges of platforms are curved instead of being flat. Many time I would either slip off a platform or trip on the edge of a platform and die on the next jump. These sound like big complaints but they only affect a very small amount of levels and is not a reason to drop the score drastically. The last thing to note is the driving sections in Crash 3, THEY ARE GOD AWFUL. The turning is super stiff, that it's almost impossible to get first place in these level. The control for these sections needs to have a HEAVILY tune up in the control aspect. With all the complaints out of the way, nondriving/certain crash 1 & 2 levels aside, the controls work well and can provide a much need change to today games that are way too easy.

    Technical: The visuals look amazing. The animations, the bouncy, cartoony look all work well with the Crash universe.The updated soundtrack is great as well. Every track is great and really gets you in the mood to do some platforming.

    Final Thought: If you love Crash Bandicoot, the minor changes to the control won't bother you much as you will get used to it. The improved HD audio and visuals still make this collection the definitive version of Crash Bandicoot to come out to date. Besides a few level, you will have a fun time with this collection if you love platforms or loved the original Crash video games.    … Expand

    Bringing back all that was great and worked in the originals, this not only brings the original Crash trilogy to new graphics and system, but also adds in on top of what was there while respecting and keeping everything that worked and made the originals so great in the first place.

    Just like with my Tekken 7 review, I've decided to give this some time so my fanboy bias won't manipulate my opinion. Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is a very faithful retelling of the original Playstation games.

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is a very faithful retelling of the original Playstation games.

    The controls feel very smooth and natural, very close to the original titles. However, this time Crash's hitbox in more circular than square which does make him slide off platforms more easily. This makes some of the jumps quite tricky and more difficult than before, but it's nothing that breaks the game, it just adds some extra difficulty. To some that may even be a plus. I personally love a challenge and the precise and fun controls make it a total blast.

    The levels also look incredibly gorgeous. They are faithful recreations of the original landscapes brought into a beautiful HD appearance. The layout, enemies, and collectables are all the same but with a fresh coat of modern day graphic paint. The only problem with the visuals is the lighting on Crash himself. It's very awkward in some areas, but that's about the only visual problem I can think of.

    The story and characters are as you know him. The vocal performances are fantastic, and you'll be glad to meet your favorite heroes and villains again. The gameplay is as solid as ever and the game is candy to the eye. With the only problems being a minor lighting issue and overly precise controls, the N. Sane Trilogy deserves a 9.    … Expand

    O maior problema desse jogo é a movimentação, que te trola muito, além de que voce não consegue calcular o espaço entre as coisas. O jogo também tem um problema com o range dos ataques que muitas vezes pareceu bugado para mim.

It makes to chuckle a bit since game radar made that review saying that crash turned in the the "Dark Souls of platformers." It makes me wonder if the guys ever played the original crash on PS1 since it was infuriating. Nevertheless, It was still a great adventure all around. Crash Bandicoot 2 Cortex Strikes back, and Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped were the games i was most excited for since those two in particular were my favorite crash games period. All they needed to do was make the games look and sound better since they were already great back in the day; and man did they improve them. It's like revisiting my favorite games as a 6 year old child again! The soundtrack in Crash 2 always catches me and "Tell No Tales" in Crash Warped will always be the prettiest level for me to look at period! There is a lot of goodies all around in this trilogy of games. There are issues with some of the games such as difficulty spikes in crash 1, annoying backtracking issues in crash 2, and finecky vehicle controls in crash warped to name a few. But because of the added time trials in the first two games for replay-ability, the ability to play as coco in the game, the soundtrack, visuals, animations, all of these things just eradicate all of the negatives put in to this game. Let me say the cinematic cuts scenes as well remind me of watching a dark, but lighthearted Saturday morning cartoon. They are so fun to watch. At $40 at launch, there's no doubt you will get your money's worth right here people. New coming Crash fans that have never played this series will get a kick out of this while nostalgic players will relive their classic adventures.… Expand

While the updated jumping system may take some getting used to (due to collision boxes changing shape, leading to levels such as The High Road now becoming rather difficult), all of Crash's extra abilities from the 2nd and 3rd games return, with the added introduction of the Running Shoes in the 2nd game.

    On top of getting the full trilogy for an affordable price, the Lost Treasures DLC brings the previously-deleted "Stormy Ascent" level to life, offering significant challenge to even the most diehard of gamers.

    Crash Bandicoot is back with a whole new make over, Activision brings us the three original games that originally came out in the 90's, Crash Bandicoot, Cortex strikes back and Warped. Does this hold the nostalgic feelings we deserve or does it leave us frustrated with no end to be seeing? let's find out.

    Crash Bandicoot is a wonderful platformer that took me back to the days of Mario, Donkey Kong & Mega Man. Your evil nemeses in these games, of course, is Doctor Neo Cortex who is trying to get all the power crystals, so each level you go through in the second & third game collecting those power crystals is a must, other than that getting from the beginning of the level to the end is the main goal, and defeating enemies by jumping on them or spin attacking them is just awesome. That is only the tip of the ice berg when it comes to these games collecting apples to get enough for extra lives, destroying all the boxes for an extra gem at the end of the levels.
    Let's talk about the levels, some of the levels in this game are absolutely gorgeous when it comes to the new design and updated graphics, with that being said some of the levels are so difficult in parts it will make your turn gray if you are in your twenties like me, some of these levels would take me up to forty-five minutes to beat but none the less I had a great time with them and the game took me less than a week to beat which is great, because I never got bored I was being challenged but not to the point where I wanted to give up. I found as the games went along though they were getting easier, I don't know if that is because I was getting accustomed to the challenge or if they were made intentionally to be easier.

    The N Sane trilogy may have been beaten but it will not soon be forgotten it is everything I needed in a game right now, it may have been frustrating at certain points but I had fun every step of the way.

I don't play much anymore because openworld games are terribly boring for the most part and online shooters don't interest me.

This is not an issue in the other 2 due to the slide jump in 2 & 3, and power-ups in 3. Crash Bandicoot 2, while introducing the always fun slide jump, suffers from poor level design. It is made worse by the dash boots being added to it. The game was not made for that speed, leading to cheap deaths. The relics are ridiculous and the game is more annoying than it is fun. Crash Bandicoot: Warped is just an average experience if you are just going through it, but if you are fully completing it like I did, it is the best in the trilogy and the most fun by far. It also has a lot of variety, something the other 2 games lack. Overall, a collection of 2 of the best PS1 games of all time, and one lackluster one.… Expand

This game focuses purely on platforming, with a variety of 3D linear and side scrolling levels. Crash 2 and especially 3 have more driving/flying/swimming levels that focus less on platforming and more on movement. You also have a slide mechanic, and in Crash 3 you earn a double jump and other features that make the games easier than the first. The graphics, sound effects, and music overall are really great. They are pretty faithful to the originals and create a really great atmosphere when playing the games. The main issues come from the outdated controls. Since these games are remakes, the controls are much like the original games. Platforming can be clunky sometimes making it hard to see where you are jumping.

With the retake on what the personality of the game is, it still thoroughly competes with today's platformers. There are some parts that will make you feel like the game is rushed like in some circumstances, just having an object that could potentially crush me being on screen would actually result in myself getting crushed. Patches are definitely needed and in some ways, the game feels more personalised in its original state. The first game doesn't capture the magic nearly as much as the second and third game. The loading screens also help with that feeling. The simplicity of this game is what also helps the game.
    All in all the game has the struggle to behold when competing with the modern game, especially if you are looking for special defining and signature features. The sole reason why this game stands out is that of its cartoon like fashion. The game needs heavy patchwork and feels like even a week delay could have polished the hell out of the game and the first game holds back the trilogy but is still a polished game in itself. The experience is good for newcomers and people that are bitten by the nostalgia bug, just go into it for the character and personality of the game or if your just looking for something to relax to aside from the difficulty spikes in the game.    … Expand

    No matter how much I played, I never knew what was coming next. Naughty Dog did a great job at creating these games, two of which have managed to defy the odds and remain some of the best platformers ever up to two decades after release, and Vicarious Visions has made them look better than ever thanks to the delightfully personable animations on Crash and crew.

    Awesome remaster of an epic trilogy! Look very good, finally a modern save system for crash 1. Overall, they stay true to the originals games. My only complain would be that they did changed the control to be the same on all 3 games, so It's can lead to some frustrating moments with the control being weird . Get this game if you like platformers, even if you p^layed them to death before!

    A great platformer is all about precise controls Which this game sorely lacks. The visuals are great but the gameplay isn't. There is an ongoing meme about it being dark souls level difficult, but that's incorrect as dark souls is fair. This games difficulty comes purely from terrible hit detection and controls.

I can now understand why Naughty Dog left this project and invested on games like Uncharted and The Last of Us. It was a very smart move.… Expand

    The Crash remake looks great. On graphics alone, I'd give it a solid 8. However, the controls are trash.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you're a Crash Bandicoot fan, you owe it to yourself to experience the trilogy with amazing graphics. You're basically playing your childhood in high definition and its still the same fun factor as when we first played them as kids/young adults.
    Most of the mechanics are exactly the same, but the jumping is slightly different and will take getting used to if you played the original versions recently.

    Vicarious Visions have done an amazing job considering how hard it is to carry a 90's platformer into 2017.

    The only thing keeping it from a 10 was a few bugs across all 3 games but I can promise you that its nothing horrible to deter you.

    If you're experienced at these types of games, you will power through them and you cant help it.
    I just completed all 3 games in their entirety (platinum trophies) and I enjoyed every minute so much, that I am actually sad its over. I even tried stretching it out by not playing for a week but I still got through it very quickly.

    Longevity wise from an experienced player perspective, each game on average will take about 10-15 hours to complete 100% (with platinum trophies). Warped is the easiest out of the 3 games and Crash 1 is the hardest so that one will add a few hours onto it. You will spend most of your time completing the time trials. Collecting the gems and crystals combined will take about 3-5 hours per game. If you are a casual player or new to these games, don't worry. It will probably take 60+ hours to beat all 3.

    I really hope this is not the last we see of Crash because I really want more. Even some appropriate add-ons to the trilogy would be amazing. Bring on CTR and Crash Bash!    … Expand

    Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is a full remaster of the original Crash Bandicoot trilogy on the PS1. Those games were the pinnacle of the platforming genre on Sony's first system especially the second and third games but do the remastered versions hold up today?

Sane Trilogy is a full remaster of the original Crash Bandicoot trilogy on the PS1. Those games were the pinnacle of the platforming genre on Sony's first system especially the second and third games but do the remastered versions hold up today?

    The most noticeable change between the remasters and the originals are (obviously) the graphics. This game looks absolutely stunning. Vicarious Visions did an amazing job making the game look amazing whilst keeping the same flare and theme of the originals. The music has also been modernized very nicely even though there are a few levels where the music doesn't fit the mood of the level,but those instances are very sparse.
    Now lets talk about the most important part - the gameplay. In every game of this collection Crash and Coco have the exact same controls and animations meaning that you wont see a difference in jumping arcs and movement speed in all 3 games unlike the originals. Crash and Coco now feel a bit heavier to control than in the originals meaning that the characters will fall a lot faster during the jump than in the original. The game is making you be more precise with your jumps. This angered a lot of fans and critics even though, in my opinion, I see no problems with the new controls - yes the games are more difficult then the originals (except for Crash 1) due to the controls but i never felt like i died in the game because of them.
    However i do see a problem with the camera and hit detection. There were a lot of instances in all 3 games (ESPECIALLY in Crash 1) I had to take a leap of faith because i didn't know was i going to undershoot or overshoot the platform I was going to land on and caused me to lose a big number of lives. The hit detection can be questionable in some instances of the game. Sometimes you get hurt by the enemies that are clearly out of your reach and the same can be said about the opposite - you undershoot your jump (probably due to the depth perception) and the enemy gets killed anyways.

    Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is a beautiful remaster of the original games but unfortunately it falls short from being a masterpiece due to its infuriating shortcomings. Even with its problems, this game is still great and it's an absolute must have for any fan of the series and would still recommend it for anyone wanting an introduction to the world of Crash Bandicoot.    … Expand

    It's really hard to admit, but this games is not what it used to be years ago. The makeover is nice, but the game itself is outdated, frustrating and boring. In a golden age of video games, even a remake can add new features, but this was clearly missed in this game. If you're stuck in the 2000s, then give it a try, otherwise you will be disappointed.

    Two great games (and the original Crash Bandicoot), all remastered with beautiful, new visuals. What's not to love? Well worth the price for fans of the original series, and those who wish to pick up a solid platformer.

    First of all let me clear something up before i dive into the review: I loved the original Crash Bandicoot games on the Playstation (Those from Naughty Dog) and so i knew what to expect, and also realize this game may be a bit to simplistic and linear compared to modern 3D platform games, but this is my opinion, so if you can accept that, read on :-)

    First of all the thing that striked me most are obviously the improved graphics. Yes, i was also surprised that the PS4 could not hit 60 fps, but even on my 65 inc OLED 4K 3D tv, i did not noticed the lower frame rate to badly. I guess it's because of the speed of this game is rather low, and so no huge movement at the horizon, and so i did not felt to manny frames where missing. Add to this the wonderful redrawn graphics, and the cool lighting effects, and i was still surprised in a positive way, even after getting the game knowing the frame rate was not that high (i saw the video from Digital Foundry before getting the game)

    The sound on the PS version was allready great, and fitted the game perfectly. It now sounds a bit more clear and the low ends improve the punch of the drums and bass guitar a lot on a proper stereo. Add to this the fun sound bites from the game, and it's clear Vicarious Visions did their best to deliver a proper version of the 3 CB games.

    Of course gameplay is most important, and here comes the part where i can't say this game is for everyone. I have played the orginal games a lot, and finished them all, and after playing the remakes, i was happy the control felt mostly the same, with some minor tweaks. Nothing to different to make it feel it's not a Crash Bandicoot game, but still, here and there where moments that i had to adopt my playing style to pass some more dificult parts in some stages. So for me, the game still holds up well, but i am afraid for some the game play may be to shallow, even compared with Mario 64, so i respect this game is not for everyone.

    Lastabillity is also improtant, next to game play, and here is where the game value lies: You don't pay full price, but you do get 3 full games (i have to admid those are conversions from old 3D platform games, but still, it's like you would get all NeoGeo Metal Slug games on one cartridge instead of having to buy them seperately, so having the complete series of CB is a good thing to me, they could have also released them seperate, and still ask the same price) So if you are like me, and you loved the Playstation versions, you will be bussy for a while before you finish everything in the games they offer.

    My conclusion is for me, i will get my moneys worth out of this compilation, and would re play the games even after finishing them all, so for me, Vicarious Visions have succeed in what i was hoping those games would be. So feel free to like the game, or if you never had a thing for Crash Bandicoot you don't like to "basic" semi 3D platformers, this game is not for you.    … Expand

    Quality game with lots of replay value. Three games for the price of one and each comes with it's own trophies (If you trophy hunt) Lots of content here, I've barely played anything else since this came out. Highly recommended.

As someone who grew up with Crash Bandicoot on the PS1, the smile this bought to my face during load-up was enormous! The sheer joy from replaying those childhood memories is amazing, especially given how good this remaster is! Some of my main points are as follows:

    - The graphics are stunning, the characters are excellently animated and the environments are gorgeous. The colours just pop, and it's nice to see how much attention to detail has been paid to the original level design. I haven't played the original in over a decade but I instantly remembered the levels when replaying them!

    - The controls are superb, they are highly sensitive and make platforming a challenge, but they're also rewarding. Anyone who complains about the controls is clearly lacking an ability to handle their precision. They are quite unforgiving, but that's the point! A platforming game is supposed to have tricky platforming.

    - Great replay value! The crystals and gems will take a few play-throughs, but there's now also time trials in all three games. This was originally only in Crash 3, so it's quite cool that they retrospectively added these to the first two games. Of course, there are also three platinum trophies to collect.

    - The soundtrack has been masterfully remastered! As with the level design, I instantly recalled the catchy music, especially in levels like "Road to Nowhere" and "Native Fortress". It sounds very similar to the originals but a bit more upbeat and modernised. They truly did a great job on staying true to the originals, but with a new twist.

    Seriously, you simply cannot ask for more when it comes to this collection! Finally, after years of ruining Crash Bandicoot, Activision has finally given us fans what we've wanted for so long, and they nailed! Everyone needs to buy this game!

    If it sells well enough, hopefully we will see a remaster of Crash Team Racing, and who knows... maybe Spyro the Dragon! Buy this great collection and prepare for hours of fun!    … Expand

    It's like controlling a concrete block. The game 20 years ago with the graphs redone, but they do not have the work to even clear the bugs of the original version. In fairness, games 2 and 3 are better than the first. It's like a journey back in time and see the evolution of the original trilogy.

    Crash was my first game on the ps1 and while not my very first game ever (that was super Mario 64), Crash was THE game that made me into a real gamer and welcomed me to the world of ps1, where the best was yet to come.

    Still...this game is very flawed and I don't mean small ones and it's because of said flaws that I'm forced to give it a 8 because it's very hard to ignore it.

    Still...this game is very flawed and I don't mean small ones and it's because of said flaws that I'm forced to give it a 8 because it's very hard to ignore it.

    I will say this first: I'm glad they kept the game basically the same as the original plus some additional stuff, like speed run in all games and not just the third, and the chance to use Coco in normal levels too is nice: for the price they ask you to get a lot and that's neat.

    Too bad they changed the controls in the worst ways possible.

    HALT! Let me explain here: the controls aren't really changed, in fact, the 3 games have their own control schemes from the original (in crash 1 you can't dash for instance) and that's alright by me. However, what's not alright is how stiff and imprecise the controls became and how hard it was to make some jumps, as well as your hitbox, beign ludicrously huge, to the point that I died BEFORE I even hit the enemies!

    I mean it can't be me: I played countless of platforms after crash, from Spyro to gex, from Jak and Daxter to Ratchet and Clank, and I played them perfectly fine so I really find it hard to believe that I'M at fault here...I mean I even cracked open my old ps1 copy to see if I was actually that bad at the game and nope, controls are fine and managed to complete the first island with ease.

    In other words, they changed the controls (and his hitbox, making him bigger and harder to stay put in some spots) and, in my opinion, they focused the control to make it more "smooth" with the analog stick instead of the d-pad. And of course IN A GAME WHERE YOU NEED PIXEL PERFECT PRECISION, you don't want the analog stick so this is not a smart choice.

    However, thankfully, this mostly applies to the first crash game: the second one has fewer precision jumps and the third is also pretty good on its own so the controls don't make much of an issue. But I still can't shake off the feeling that they made the controls much stiffer as if I'm moving a sack of bricks.

    But it's still a pretty darn remaster and I HOPE with all my heart they'll remake Spyro as well so while it has its flaws, I highly recommend this game: it's basically good old platform fun at it...almost finest.    … Expand

Well yes it is. It has a pretty great graphic engine, a price tag of $40 and plenty of content that can keep you entertained. The problem however lies in not just Crash's gameplay, but its history too. People giving this a 10/10, or a 9/10 are likely omitting huge and important issues with the game that seems to give the impression that rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia is clouding their judgments. I liked Crash Warped when it first came out, but I was a drooling little kid that wasn't analyzing games and critiquing them like now. That's where this trilogy is in currently: Critiqueland.

    The first major issue of the trilogy is the controls. The D-pad on the PSX controller was very hard to play Crash and Coco across levels. Jumping to the analog usage (including the originals already built in on the PS4 dpad) does alleviate some of the issues that had. Considering in platforming games you need responsive controls above all things to make sure you can make jumps is crucial, and this trilogy doesn't allow this. On the contrary, it worsens it. The vehicle missions (in warped in particular) is very cumbersome and annoying to maneuver in. The fact I repeat certain parts because the controls kept killing me or causing problems isn't a good thing to have. Even spinning and miss my timings for jumping on enemies for even a brief second would be far more unfair than what's allowed.

    The next issue is the running away levels usually under DASH or Run. They stay true to the original but the main problems with those levels were the unpredictable obstacles Crash or Coco would run into that you had very little time to react or else the thing behind you would kill you. I would have much preferred the level to have a optional camera control where you can at least see where youre going at all times, something Spyro did as a contemporary and proved to be a better game trilogy.

    The camera is a huge issue for this game because if you ever want to backtrack to areas, you won't be able to see or instantly remember the next area and have you killed because you couldn't see it based on the camera not allowing you. Especially for a game that was designed for kids, you want them to be able to see where they are going and not be upset that the game won't let them move the camera that Ratchet and Clank and Mario games do very well.

    Repetition and the mundane level design also shows as well. Beating a level and yielding a crystal is standard most will get over the three games, but if you wish to achieve more gems you have to do absolutely insane and stupid things that would easily frustrate you. Gems require ALL boxes to be smashed, so miss a single box and you have to repeat the whole level (especially if you miss a single box on a bonus round) to get that one gem. Obviously on early levels this is not so bad but on later levels they can be extremely tedious and annoying rather than fun and enjoyable. Relics are even more stupid because they require the player to beat the level under a time limit that they never specify. If you don't succeed or die at any point in the level (as checkpoints are turned off) you have to repeat the whole level again, which can be irritating to ludicrous depending on the map.

    A few other issues I have is more of Crash's animations. I get they wanna make him goofy and silly, but having him do the exact same animation everytime he gets a gem or relic is really boring and loses its charm quickly. Coco can now be selected to do missions alongside Crash (aside from a few exceptions), but they don't change anything to the formula; it's just a gender format to appease both sexes. Bosses are a joke to kill and only a few are even worth a challenge. Autosaving seems unnecessary because most levels are short and can be completed in a matter of seconds. Load times are a tad bit too long for me when booting up the game AND going to levels. Considering the length of the levels, the tedium to getting gems and mixing the camera and controls in, you can easily backfire players who havent played the games ever easily and prove immensely frustrating.

    This doesn't mean the game sucks. I like the graphics, Warped allows abilities and vehicle missions and 2 jumped from the first with better levels and creativity. 1 wasn't that good originally and it only worsens now.

    Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is a good deal for three games. Fans will buy this with no issue, but newcomers might turn away after a few hours. Nostalgia is a dangerous thing to have and people should focus on the games and their structures more than graphics or seeing Crash do stupid things on screen. I enjoyed them as a kid, but as an adult I know platformers are "dead" for a reason. Crash reminds me of good times, but bad times too.    … Expand

    Now, gamers who have not played Crash Bandicoot I will keep it short. Imagine playing a 2D platformer but in 3D over 3 'lanes' occasionally giving you a 2.5D classic platformer; this is the simple idea behind Crash's gameplay. It works, and it works well. This is just simply because it looks great and level design allows a smooth casual sit on your sofa experience and for the first time in a long time we've played it with a few people passing around the controller to try and beat the level or get a better time in a time trial mode that unlocks on passing the level. It is just back to basics fun out of the box and I implore gamers to grab it. You are getting 3 games with some very tricky hard to earn gems...you're getting lots of hours here if you're a completionist. The general difficulty can get a bit all over the place but this was - and is - part of Crash Bandicoots endearing design. I am trying not to give the impression I am biased towards 'games were better in my day', because in all honesty a lot weren't after revisiting them, this game however is a standout.

    I can't give this game a perfect score, and this is more from a technical standpoint. The game itself I think should be able to run comfortably at 60 frames for smoother gameplay, but it doesn't with some noticeable frame drops in certain parts. Even though the PS4 Pro exists and probably doesn't have the issue, I still think this game should of easily been able to hit the gamers ideal framerate on the standard console. The controls don't also feel as responsive given the nature of the gameplay is about timing. Those aside though it doesn't run terribly, most people won't even know. I have a PC that easily runs games at high FPS, which has made it more noticeable for me.    … Expand
