It's truly insane that this runs better on steam deck than PS5, due to the never-patched frame rate cap over there...

SHORT REVIEW : this is simply one of the best remakes ever made. Crash Bandicoot is the history of platform games on consoles and they managed to recreate all the good things of the three main games without ruining any single aspect of the gameplay. A must-have for all video game lovers.

> Gameplay ( 8.9 / 10 ) : the gameplay is the same as the original games, where you have to complete each level and defend the bosses of every area. Movements are fluid, the game has good performances and I've never found bugs, frame drops or crashes. Each level can be completed multiple times to gather gems that need a good ability in platforming and relics with time trials.

> Story ( 6.5 / 10 ) : the story in this game is really basic and a bit fun, where the protagonists have to fight the bad guys to save the world from their crazy minds. Each character is particular and funny for sure, even if they're not very detailed in their personality.

> Aesthetics ( 8.8 / 10 ) : amazing work has been done in recreating the exact same levels, same objects and same characters, keeping the same humorous caricatural style. The graphics of this game is really and there are pretty visual effects, even if sometimes models and textures of minor objects lack of details.

> Audio ( 9.0 / 10 ) : beautiful job also with the audio system. The same old songs and sounds have been remade with the best quality, giving the same vibes and feelings while playing. Still are missing some ambient sounds if you want to play without music.

> Difficulty ( 8.2 / 10 ) : there are a lot of challenges in this game. Completing the basic level is quite easy, but if you want to get all the gems and relics you have to sweat a lot and lose hundreds of lives if you want to get everything. Beating the game at 100% is not only for completism but also part of the game where you want to overcome your limits and challenges. However, some parts look like they're intended to be more frustrating than funny.

> Overall Rating ( 8.3 / 10 ) <
