    Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy can be compared to a good, old Chardonnay. It gives players the ability to enjoy an excellent remaster of three classic platformers and the adventures of an iconic character in one, single package. This is a collection that all Switch owners should be looking forward to.

    Crash Bandicoot returns with new graphics and the classic gameplay (which is sometimes unforgiving due to the camera movement). Nintendo Switch version offers lower resolution than PS4 or Xbox One, but the game still looks great and we love the possibility to play anywhere in portable mode.

    At the fair price of $40, the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy offers three fun platforming classics that have been re-created from the ground up, and only minor adjustments have been made for the Switch. The first title suffer from its unification strategy, so it's a more frustrating experience, but Cortex Strikes Back and Warped play really well. The visual style and graphical performance on the Switch are fantastic thanks to the minor adjustments, making this a well-deserved port for the handheld's library.

    Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is a loving remaster of a series of fan-favorite games. If you need a dose of 32-bit nostalgia, or if you want to see where one of gaming’s iconic characters started you can’t go wrong here.

    Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy is a fun collection of titles filled with nostalgia value, presented in a wonderful looking HD package. It runs well and overall is a perfectly competent platformer. If you can forgive that some aspects of these games haven’t aged well in the last 20 years, then this can be a pretty fun throwback experience.

    The culprit behind Crash's dated feel is the passage of time. Vicarious Visions, for its part, succeeded in revitalizing Crash from an artistic perspective while preserving the charm that made him appealing when he first showed up, but years have passed since the original PlayStation was relevant, and we are well past the formative years of 3D gaming.

Even though the Switch Port isn't as powerful as the PS4 release it is still a must buy for any Switch Owner the Trilogy's Three Games are all amazing and play well Docked and Portable the N Sane Trilogy was a great choice for Switch, Now we can only hope that Spyro get's a release on Switch or Crash Joins the Battle in the Smash Ultimate.… Expand

    This remake looks and sounds good, but those are the only compliments I can give it. I've always wanted to love Crash but despite all theThis remake looks and sounds good, but those are the only compliments I can give it. I've always wanted to love Crash but despite all the quirkiness and colourful graphics I despise the original trilogy. These games are a relic of the past, back when developers were still trying to figure out how this brand spaking new 3D thing worked - and it shows.

    The gameplay is beyond frustrating and in most cases it comes down to simple trial and error and cheap deathtraps you can't possibly react to the first time around.

    The controls are stiff, while in the water levels you float all over the place and being precise is impossible. Jumps are ever so slightly low and short, just enough so that you can only barely reach neighbouring platforms if you're pixel-perfect and jump from the very edge on a cliff. Frustrating doesn't even begin to describe this. The third game gives you a double jump, which just like in Jak & Daxter needs to be performed within a certain time window. Press the button too late and instead of an elegant double jump you'll land in a lava pool.

    Add to this an awful camera with an even worse perspective that makes it very hard to see where you're going to land. Occasionally the game goes into a 2D perspective, yet even then it's not truly 2D and you can still fall off the stage and to your doom by simply walking too close towards the screen or away from it.

    No bad game is complete without lazy linear level design and one-hit deaths, and you will burn through dozens of lives in mere minutes - so prepare to be replaying those first few levels of each game and farming lives A LOT.

    I've played Dark Souls and Bloodborne and neither of them are as frustratingly difficult as these 90's kids games. There's no fair challenge to be found here, it just boils down to a bunch of cheap deaths, memorisation and luck. If you're lucky and you don't fall through platforms or get electrocuted through a wall, you may even have a good time, if only briefly before anger and frustration inevitably get to you. A remake can only be as good as its source material, and frankly Crash was never good. If you're starved for some 90's nostalgia, play Spyro Reignited or the upcoming Medievil remake instead.    … Expand
