The games contained in the N. Sane Trilogy were the ammo with which the PlayStation team fired – so, for a 90's fanboy, this feels like a significant moment.

While the Nintendo Switch version of the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy may not look quite as dazzling as its counterparts, there's no denying that it's bolstered by being available on a portable system.

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is an excellent collection that is hard to blame. Perhaps some upgradeable scenarios in lighting and colors, some themes of the remastered soundtrack that slack off the originals and the still high difficulty of the first game that can frustrate more than one today despite the facilities implemented. The two extra levels are difficult, challenging and original. If Crash Bandicoot is back, I think he can't be in better hands than in Vicarious Visions.

Although the Nintendo Switch version may be have lower resolution compared to other cosnoles, Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy is suitable to be played while you are anywhere by carrying the switch with you anytime, anywhere. I feel satisfied with the design of the game on the switch, it offers the same experience with the original one with some good additions.

Exceptionally well-made ports with necessary technical improvements and great optimization. If you haven't a chance to play Crash games and you own a PC, now it's the perfect time.

A well-made remaster with beautiful modern visuals and outdated platforming rooted firmly in the past.

All in all, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is a welcome remaster in a generation full of them. Every level is intact and while the difficulty may annoy newcomers, there's enough here to keep you busy if you're looking for a throwback to 90s gaming goodness.

If peak performance is your #1 concern – which is fine considering how damn pretty Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy looks on PS4 and Xbox One – then maybe you should skip the Switch version.

A visually impressive remake full of detail and polish for what is for the most part a painfully average platformer. From a time when the genre was moving forward and delivering better traditional efforts than this.

The Xbox One version of the Crash Bandicoot Trilogy is as solid as the PS4 one was a year ago, and it comes recommended for both the PS One aficionados and the ones who love their 3D action platformers.

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is a nearly flawless remaster of a mixed bag that I'm still incredibly fond of, even after so many deaths.

If I’m being completely honest, I believe that in the trade-off of graphics for portability, portability will win almost every time, especially with the quick and simple level design that Crash has.

Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy on the Switch is somehow a match made in heaven. It hits all the right nostalgic notes while still revealing the flaws we all grew to tolerate if not love from the original series. Crash 2 and 3 are close to if not old-school platforming masterpieces and returning and new players alike will find special pleasure in being able to take this game wherever you go.

The switch version of the N. Sane Trilogy is graphically the worst, but the compact level design is perfect for on the go.

The crashing challenge of the first three Crash Bandicoot instalments gets an impressively solid, as well as stunning upgrade, making the original PlayStation series feel obsolete. The collision detection could use a nice little patch, and the omission of a higher frame-rate feels almost silly, but other than that, fans of tough retro platformers are advised to try this out. NOW!

In an age of remasters that don't always feel earned, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is one for which fans have been rightfully clamoring. Vicarious Visions' recreations are simply stunning.

Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy is a fun collection of titles filled with nostalgia value, presented in a wonderful looking HD package. It runs well and overall is a perfectly competent platformer. If you can forgive that some aspects of these games haven't aged well in the last 20 years, then this can be a pretty fun throwback experience.
