Crashing the party in style.
22 years of waiting have been worthwhile. Crash Bandicoot 4 takes the best of the franchise and pushes it to unsuspected limits, adding new content and huge replayability. Its hard and demanding platform will push the skill and patience of the most experienced to the limit. Without any doubt it is a game worthy of carrying the 4 in its title

Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time finds a comfortable place amongst the franchise’s finest.
Toys for Bob has succeeded in creating a game by preserving the spirit of the Crash Bandicoot series. Despite some levels difficulty feels unbalanced, it's a great platform game.

Crash 4 was indeed worth the wait capturing everything that made the series so loved and builds on what the N’Sane collection did in bringing the series back to a modern generation of console and gamers. It is tough but rewarding and does exactly what the original games did, it kicks your butt but never enough to make you feel like you cannot finish it……old school with a fresh look, this is definitely one for your game collection and with the new generation of console sent to launch in just over a month, I would not be surprised to see this get a PS5 and Xbox Series X upgrade for Ray Tracing goodness potentially.
Crash is back. Like seriously back. No remasters on show here, just an original story riding the tailcoat of success that the N Sane trilogy & CTR has brought to the current gen platforms over the last couple of years. Crash Bandicoot is a name synonymous with the founding of the PlayStation. He has long been the official mascot of Sony’s iconic brand. His journey to 2020 however, has been something of a bumpy ride following a winding path of hit after hit after hit after…. miss.
Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time does not feature any major innovations, but it is still excellent enough to entertain and delight. It is a sequel worthy of a successful series with enhanced elements from the original trilogy, renewed visual and soundtrack and competent and challenging gameplay. The inclusions of new playable characters, varied environments and mechanics from the four quantum masks are quite satisfactory, and the comic tone coupled with the great dubbing helps to create an unforgettable and extremely funny adventure.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time feels like the perfect continuation of the series – almost as if it never went on hiatus or took less-than-stellar detours after the PS1 era. As a longtime fan, I am glad that Activision has revived this beloved franchise.
Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is a wonderfully crafted game. The love developer Toys for Bob has poured into the title is evident and makes the game all the more appealing. It's accessible enough to pick up and play by anyone, but also provides a hardcore enough challenge for those diehard fans of platformers and the series.
If you’re looking for a new platformer to sink time into, this is one you shouldn’t overlook. With amazing visuals, a fun story, and short bite-sized stages, this is a game you can easily pick up and put down.
Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time shines with quality, and delivers on so many levels. It's truly a proper comeback after 22 years.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is equal parts fun and frustrating. One thing’s for sure with me though, it’s precision platforming is addicting. Whether you’re racing against the ghost Crash or surviving the Flashback tapes, when everything’s clicking at the right pace, there’s no greater feeling in gaming.
I waited years for a new Crash game and it’s safe to say that Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time really was worth the wait.
Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time does more than enough to satisfy oldschool fans of the series but doesn't quite put the series into a moden era of gaming. Overloading effects, missing gameplay variety with the new characters/elements and a big focus on nostalgia holds the game a bit back. Crash Bandicoot will still have a lot of fun with it.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is a truly exceptional game. Going in I just wanted a sequel that did the original three games proud, but what we have here is the best Crash game to date. It’s visually stunning, difficult yet accessible and always has a trick up its sleeve. This is a must-buy game.
Crash Bandicoot 4: It‘s About Time is the title that the fans have been waiting for more that 20 years and without the doubt the best installment of the series since the original Naughty Dog trilogy. If Toys for Bob will stay with the series for the long term, the future seems bright.

The best Crash Bandicoot of the saga.

Crash Bandicoot 4 is a great challenge and I couldn’t stop playing. It has a ton of variety over quite a lot of levels and the gameplay is genuinely fun. The production values are high and there’s always something to do. It’s a definite improvement on the previous games in the series, despite keeping the same feel. Despite being one of the best games I’ve played recently, I do have one big concern. I could see a lot of people giving up and coming away from this game with a bad impression because of the difficulty. While you can keep trying and trying, many areas are just incredibly difficult and some people won’t be able to pass them. This is not going to be a game for everyone and that's not a bad thing.
Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is a wonderful platformer that offers the same wacky but difficult gameplay of its predecessors, but with a modern twist added to them.
