    The most frustrating game I have ever played. Instead of satisfaction I felt a big relief when I beated the main campaign and final boss.
    I love Crash but this one was really "stupid hard" . I recomend it to masochistic players.

    Una de las cosas que me preocupaban al jugar un juego de Crash no desarrollado por Naughty Dog era el de jugar un juego sin escencia asi como lo eran los juegos de Crash y los titanes. Y no me equivoque, a pesar de que Crash 4 es el crash mas cercano al trabajo de los creadores de Uncharted, es notable que el juego pierde mucho de su esencia sobre todo en los controles y en el ritmo delUna de las cosas que me preocupaban al jugar un juego de Crash no desarrollado por Naughty Dog era el de jugar un juego sin escencia asi como lo eran los juegos de Crash y los titanes. Y no me equivoque, a pesar de que Crash 4 es el crash mas cercano al trabajo de los creadores de Uncharted, es notable que el juego pierde mucho de su esencia sobre todo en los controles y en el ritmo del juego . Crash 4 tiene multiples problemas de platforming y diseño de niveles, crash 4 es un juego dificil pero frustrante, esa dificultad que sabes que no es tu culpa si no que mueres por el mal diseño del juego. El modo retro es inutil ya que el juego esta hecho para que mueras una y otra vez y las 4 a 5 vidas que tienes son ridículas en este sentido pues hay niveles que de plano llegas a juntar hasta 100 muertes. Y no, no soy un manco ya que me pasaba battletoads y demon souls con una vida, pero creo que la dificultad debe de ir acompañada con diversión y no solo con frustración y es ahi donde crash 4 falla. Crash 4 es buen juego pero un juego que no esta ala altura de crash 3 por su diversión. Gráficamente cumple, aunque juegos como ratchet se ven y se siente mejor. Aunque debo decir que valoro el esfuerzo por hacer aun juego de plataformas 3d en estos tiempos y aunque tenga sus errores e sun juego que considera que los amantes del genero deben tener.… Expand

    I have to tell I'm not a big Crash player. I played some on PS1 and pS2 when I was a kid and that's about that. I beat this game but I hated all the way to the end, it was verrry frustrating. The bosses are super easy but the levels aren't, especially if you try to get every boxes and wumpa fruit. I'm happy I beat it, it was not all bad, but never again.

    Продолжение хардкорной серии платформеров и оно все такое же беспощадное к игрокам, но разработчики чуть сжалились и добавили возможность играть без ограниченного кол-ва континиумов. Из плюсов - разнообразие героев и геймплеев, хороший дизайн уровней. Из минусов - бедное повествование и излишня сложность в некоторых моментах.Продолжение хардкорной серии платформеров и оно все такое же беспощадное к игрокам, но разработчики чуть сжалились и добавили возможность играть без ограниченного кол-ва континиумов.

    This game would be 9/10 if it wasn’t just ridiculously difficult. Don’t get me wrong: I really do enjoy challenges in general. This is just too much to enjoy.

    I did complete the game, but I’m unlikely to play it ever again.

    Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is a great game. Although its difficulty can be frustrating and some lengthy sequences are tedious, the world design is crisp and filled with humour, the levels overflow with creativity and most importantly, completing a level is satisfying. The plot is thin, but the cartoony vibes provoke a great mix of nostalgia and charm. The PlayStation 5 upgrade significantly improves load times and takes the game's visuals to another level. Crash fans have much to love in this long-awaited sequel. Although newcomers to the series may be turned off by how punishing the game can be, this title is an adventure worth embarking on.

    Modernized nostalgic bomb stuffed with tons of content. Toys for Bob did it brilliantly again. I just want to know one thing: when will we get GEX? [Issue#310]

    A very pretty and slick platformer that runs beautifully on PS5. Use of the console’s unique features are limited, but it’s still well worth playing. [Issue#187, p.80]
