It might have taken 22 years, but it was worth the wait. Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is a glorious return for this cheeky marsupial. After two remakes of both Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled were released recently with great reviews so far, gamers everywhere are rejoicing at their favorite game character making his triumphant return to video games after all these years out in the cold!
Remember when you were a kid and all your favorite cartoon shows would return to TV? You couldn’t wait for those episodes! Sure, the new show might not be as good as it used to be. But at least there was something familiar on the screen that reminded us of our childhoods.
What if Crash Bandicoot had never returned in 2017’s N. Sane Trilogy? Nowadays nostalgia is with up-and coming generations more than ever before (as seen by recent reboots like Power Rangers). We may have missed out on this part of history forever or maybe we just needed some time away from old games anyway so they could come back better then ever…
Multiple playable characters
Tried and tested gameplay
Beautiful levels, full of secrets
Frustrating checkpoints
Might feel too familiar for some
Neo Cortex levels aren't great
