Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Reviews
View All (145 total)I didn't want the Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy to break what wasn't broken. Thankfully, Vicarious Visions clearly didn't want to either, and the studio's reverence for the original maddening yet rewarding challenges that have stood the test of time is clearly on display. On one hand, that leads to the frustrating limitations of the original Crash Bandicoot persisting 20 years later. But it also results in the incredible visual and aural overhaul and the gameplay tweaks to earlier entries, like time trials and crate counters, that Naughty Dog added later in the series. Those additions make the overall package so much more cohesive while never forgetting what made, and what still makes, so much of Naughty Dog's original trilogy a blast to play.
A well-made remaster with beautiful modern visuals and outdated platforming rooted firmly in the past.
No matter what you think of the original games these are an excellent trio of remasters, that will please existing fans and help to create new ones.
It's gorgeous, and a clear labour of love, but the controls might drive you, err, N.Sane
