Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Reviews
There’s no question that Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy is a very welcome sight on a platform not owned by Sony. The Switch version has exceeded my expectations in almost every conceivable way and Crash still remains one of the finest examples of platform gaming from the 32bit era. A must own.
The insanely difficult platforming found in the collection certainly won't be for everybody, but there is no doubt that Crash is still every bit as charming as he was back in the day in the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. If you happened to miss out on this one last year due to the PS4 exclusivity, there is no reason not to check it out this time around.
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 Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is incredible on Xbox One X and as a package in general combining classic games in a remastered way that makes them seamless.
Now available on the Nintendo Switch, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is less beautiful than the original PlayStation 4 and the other new platforms, but is still an excellent experience that you can play on the go. A must for nostalgic players or platforming fans.
Overall this is great package and I can recommend it to anyone whether they grew up with the bandicoot or are meeting him for the first time. I’m more optimistic about his future because of how well Vicarious Visions and Activision handled this remake and hoping we get a similar remake for Crash Team Racing and maybe even the original three Insomniac developed Spyro the Dragon games. There may be a few issues but Crash Bandicoot has never looked better. Naughty Dog’s hard work is showcased in its full modern potential and it looks and plays fantastic.
I highly recommend this compilation, especially for fans of the original series. Long time players that didn't play the games now get the chance to experience all 3 in all their glory with new graphics, added trophy support and tweaked difficulty in form of more extra lives and checkpoints as well as unlimited continues. It looks like a kids game, and it is, but the difficulty requires a somewhat skilled player to truly enjoy.
Like any remake or –master, your experience with the game, or lack thereof, will heavily influence your time with the N. Sane Trilogy. Fortunately, whether you’re a Relic-collecting master or a new player coming to see what all the fuss is about, there are tons of reasons to pick up the collection.
Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy is a return to a classic and is every bit worth your money and time. It retains its charm that it once had and it will entertain both old and newcomers.
Assuming that you play the titles in chronological order, N. Sane Trilogy will only get better the more you go into it, and the combined playtime of trilogy confidently justifies its current price tag. It’s a reminder of why Crash was arguably the best at 3D platformers in the Nineties, and the few adjustments needed in these remakes show that the original trilogy have stood the test of time; especially Crash: Warped.
[The Crash N. Sane Trilogy is] ...the perfect sendoff to a lovingly crafted collection, which I hope introduces a whole new generation of gamers to the orange marsupial! Now…Let’s await a Spyro remaster…Or Jak and Daxter….Please…?
Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy is a true gem and is a game worth getting by today's generation. A game that has evolved along with us from the very beginning. A game that gives me hope that other old treasures will one day get the same remaster treatment.
It's a shame that Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped is such a dreadful experience because the first two games in this collection are absolute gold. Vicarious Visions has succeeded in making Crash look completely contemporary, however, the level design and structure has remained unchanged. This is the best way to introduce new gamers to the orange marsupial, however, it's his existing fans that will enjoy it the most.
Remasters often make me reconsider my fondness for old games. That’s not true of the N. Sane Trilogy. Crash 1 is an okay game, Crash 2 is a good game, and Crash 3 is an excellent game. That’s as true today as it was twenty years ago.
It’s a pivotal experience all gamers should have (as well as a justifiable reason to join an anger management group) and I highly recommend it to everyone.
The Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is a fantastic re-introduction to PlayStation's forgotten mascot.
Crash Bandicoot N’Sane Trilogy is great if you enjoy a challenge and have lots of patience and tenacity. But it’s not without its many flaws and annoyances. Nevertheless, this game would make a great addition to any retro gaming aficionado’s collection.
