Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Reviews
Tough as nails but just as tight as you remember, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is tasty trip down memory lane. The visual upgrade is nothing short of spectacular, and while the design of these iconic platformers are firmly fixed in the 90s, they're surprisingly playable today. This is a comprehensive compendium of a trilogy that set PlayStation on its way, and while not everyone will care for the old-school sensibilities, Vicarious Visions has pitched this package just right – doubters must now dine on Wumpa pie.
I had a bit of a giddy giggle when I first washed onto the beach in stage 1 of Crash Bandicoot and properly soaked in the lush and vibrant environment
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy brings back three iconic games from the first days of 3D platformers and they surely are delightful to play with an updated visual outlook. Thanks to their identical gameplay mechanics and to the amount of content, it's nearly impossible not to have fun while playing the games included in this trilogy.

A great remaster who comes to Xbox One to give the best of a saga that is already a classic.

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

If you don't mind the lower resolution and slightly less crisp visuals, then the Switch version is incredibly easy to recommend, especially as it gains portability. It's a cracking port of one of the best remasters around. It's odd to say, but it almost feels like this should be Crash's new home.
The original Crash Bandicoot is better remembered for what it was and what it meant than what it is.
With the N.Sane Trilogy, Vicarious Visions team did a truly excellent job- indeed, it is a product made with utmost skill and passion. The amazing value for money and the great respect shown to its predecessor make it a collection that just can't be missed, whether you are a long time fan of Crash Bandicoot or you're getting to know the series just now.

Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy is the anniversary collection fans deserve. Even if it is more challenging that it was decades ago.
In Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, players familiar with the original Naughty Dog games will be welcome back into the vibrant world inhabited by Crash, Coco, and their journey to defeat Neo Cortex. However, developer Vicarious Visions has done more than slap a fresh coat of paint on the games by creating a cohesive platforming system and visual language across all three titles.
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy adamantly stays true to the original game.
A perfect example how the classic games should be readapted to the new hardware generation. Vicarious Visions made an excellent work giving an excellent remake true to the classic trilogy that will satisfy the classic Crash Bandicoot fans.

A pleasant, but flawed, walk down gaming memory lane.
More than twenty years after the manic marsupial first graced the PlayStation, the return of Crash Bandicoot isn't just welcome…it just feels right. A throwback to a more positive time, Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy is a testament to timeless game design and an example of a remaster done right by two studios split across two eras.
Crash Bandicoot fans can rest easy, Vicarious Visions didn't deface Naughty Dog's work. The three games look better than they ever have and play just as good as they used to. The NSane Trilogy is both fun and challenging and offers a good time to longtime fans of the original PlayStation's unofficial mascot. That said, people who didn't enjoy Crash Bandicoot games back in the 90s won't fall in love with the franchise thanks to this compilation.

The N. Sane Trilogy brings the golden age of 3D platforming back to the PlayStation 4. This collection maintains all that made the originals great but also making them accessible to the newest generation of gamers. This is a must have for fans of the originals and younger gamers might want to get in on the crate smashing action.
