    Crash Bandicoot arrives spinning and jumping in a new release that solidifies even more the great work that Toys for Bob has been doing with its resmasters. Crash Bandicoot 4: It's about time could easily be on the podium of the best of Crash.

    Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is an incredible return from a beloved franchise that hadn't had a new game for a decade. It takes everything that made the original trilogy great and expands it in a way we only think it could surpass... Naughty Dog itself.

    Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is a reminder of how good platformers can be when in the right hands. Taking you through several diverse dimensions with their own unique challenges, Crash Bandicoot 4 combines responsive controls and a gorgeous art style to create an exciting adventure. Do I remember the story? Not too much, but the gameplay is where Crash shines. A new Modern mode in addition to its Retro mode makes it even more accessible for everyone.

    Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time has everything that they asked of a new numbered installment of the saga. It is fun, varied and with a multitude of things to do. A must have for fans.

    Activision and Toys for Bob successfully manage to deliver a proper and direct sequel to Crash's original trilogy, doing justice to the franchise's classical gameplay formula but also adding more gameplay variety and lots of content. A game to play, both for nostalgic players and new platforming enthusiasts.

    Even more so than playing the N.Sane Trilogy, which literally remade the original Crash games from my youth, playing Crash 4 felt like getting back in touch with the series. It's an injection of new ideas into now-classic gameplay that surprises and delights, even as it feels like a homecoming. Truly, games like this are why we come running back to long-dormant franchises with open arms.

    There’s a lot holding Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time back from being the leading platforming experience it could be. Its lack of accessibility is a real issue, and it’s still plagued with problems that existed in the original Crash games, like awkward camera angles and imprecise jumping. But it is a beautiful-looking game, and fans of the series will undoubtedly get a serious kick out of being back in control of Crash – even if they will need god-like patience for some of the game’s more trying sections. Its extra content is a let-down though, and the full RRP for a game that most players will be done with in around eight hours leaves a big question mark over whether Crash Bandicoot 4 is a worthwhile purchase.

A challenging, but fair platformer with new additions like the Quantum Masks, N Verted mode and Flashback Tapes. This expands the classic formula without breaking the core gameplay.

El juego ofrece horas de diversión, con el toque esencial de los niveles de plataforma que hacen a Crash especial.

Toys for Bob pretty much sold me on this game after having played Spyro and seeing how well they treated such an iconic and beloved game series. Crash 4 still is as hard as I remember but its all down to the level designs and mechanics this time rather than the archaic hardware failing you. Even someone terrible at platformers like me can enjoy the game and keep coming back for more with the endless amount of fun gameplay and countless collectables.
