This game looks and feels amazing! However, the bad things in this game surpass the good ones by a lot!
It's like if the developers looked at the Stormy Ascent level in Crash 1 and said: "Let's make a new game with that difficulty and make it much worse for some levels, and also make the levels so long that players will beg for them to end.".

I loved the original trilogy for the ps1, and got the N sane trilogy first day it was released on Steam. I loved every one of those games, and I managed to 106% all of them multiple times, and I enjoyed doing that a lot.

However, this game feels like a chore to finish.
- Some levels are so long that they could have been 3 levels in the original trilogy.
- Checkpoints are too far apart from each other. Sometimes, dying can make you lose 5+ minutes of progress.
- Most levels have way too many creates. There's one level with over 500 crates! And they are very easy to miss because developers for some reason hid some in basically unreachable places. You have to play a lot with the camera to find some of them, and even sometimes that's not enough because they are out of sight, no matter how much you play with the camera.
- Another thing is that hitboxes sometimes are broken, and they seem to work randomly.
- Double jump works half of the time, and you can't tell when it's not going to work. Crash sometimes just double jumps even if you only tap the button once.
- Perception of depth is sometimes almost non-existant, so it's very hard to know where Crash is going to land.
- Triple spin as the end-game reward is stupid and really doesn't make sense, and it makes you die more often than not. You can also go faster by slide-spinning.
- Challenges are ridiculous. Getting platinum relics for every level so they count towards progression, or the N Sane perfect relics that requires you to complete the levels without dying AND with all the crates. That's just insane! What's the point in having a gem that requires you to die 3 or less times when there's a relic that requires you to complete the level without diying AND with all the crates? And this is without mentioning the N Verted levels. They just apply an ugly instagram filter for most levels and you have to get all the crates again, and the hidden gems with changed locations AGAIN.

If you are not a speedrunner and feel like casually completing this game, be prepared to suffer a lot and repeat every level AT LEAST over 10 times. This game is not challenging in a fun way. It's challenging in the most frustrating ways possible.

My girlfriend wanted to play with something long and hard, so I made her play Crash 4.

Great casual game to play, one of possibly the most tedious and soul crushing platinum trophys to ever get (wouldn't recommend if you are not on anti depressants)
