    Terrible game design. Having to grab every crate in a level for a skin on top of other conditions is just frustrating

    Absurdly easy if you're not going for all the collectibles and ridiculously difficult if you are. Physics and properties are inconsistent, bugs are rampant. I'm frankly stunned this game made it out of playtesting. An absolute embarrassment for everyone involved.

    You can't find all boxes in any level if you don't watch a YouTube guide. They are ANNOYINGLY hidden!!! And I won't even talk about the colored gems... If you're not the developer of the game you won't probably find them alone. Also the wumpa gems are redundant, since if you break all the boxes, you get enough wumpas by default. The only thing I like about this game are the new powers ofYou can't find all boxes in any level if you don't watch a YouTube guide. They are ANNOYINGLY hidden!!!

    Crash Bandicoot 4 is a game that has been a long-time coming. Toys for Bob have really captured what made the original games special, while also modernizing it and delivering their own stamp on the franchise. Fans of the original finally get the sequel they deserved, and it feels good to live in this renaissance of PSOne-era games making a comeback. I hope Crash continues to live on and we don’t have to wait as long for Crash 5.

    Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is the true sequel that fans have been waiting for. The Unreal Engine 4 powered visuals brings the series into 2020 while Toys for Bob has kept to the original source material while adding some new gameplay elements, a personal touch so to speak. What has also made the jump (no pun intended) to this sequel though is the difficulty and control issues of the past. I really do wish the game was more accessible to new and younger fans alike, as some people may be turned off by this, but I don’t think it’s fair to heavily penalize the game for this fact, as it still is what made the series what it is. Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is truly the best game in the series and I do hope we see another one on the upcoming next-generation consoles.

    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.
