Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time Reviews
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 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 testament to old-school gaming and modern sensibilities. It balances the old and the new with grace, offering up a riot of radical changes while keeping the prime platforming appeal intact. All the while, the animation and art style propels the experience, making you feel like you’re watching your favorite cartoon. Ultimately, this all results in Crash’s most astonishing adventure yet.
A return to form for everyone’s favourite Bandicoot! Aside from a few duff powers this is all Killer!
Despite its inconsistent difficulty, Crash Bandicoot 4 is still a blast. With a focus on fun and with a heavy dose of challenge, even in it's most rage-inducing moments it can't be denied that Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is excellent. It may even be the best the bandicoot has ever been.
Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time goes far beyond expectations with the number of characters, modes, and levels that it includes. Series newcomers are likely to be rudely smacked upside the head by the blistering difficulty, but longtime fans will delight in the incredible ways this title iterates upon its storied past. Highly recommended.
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.
Toys For Bob understands Crash. They add new components to keep the game fresh while maintaining everything you expect from a typical Crash Bandicoot game. Each level is wonderfully crafted and distinct, even if, at times, they do feel a bit too long. The addition of N. Verted levels extends the game's length, which is not always a good thing. Nevertheless, including different playable characters as well as the Quantum Masks enhances the series to new heights. Overall, Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is the perfect blend of old and new.
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.
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.

It was a long 22 year wait, but it has been worth it to finally get a true sequel to the Crash games of the past. It’s something I didn’t think we’d ever get, but I’m incredibly glad we did as Toys for Bob have nailed the look and feel of Crash Bandicoot. The fun is there, the challenge is definitely there and I hope it means positive things for the future of the Crash Bandicoot franchise in the coming years.
Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time succeeds in bundling together a charming story, addictive gameplay and an N. Sane amount of content, resulting in what is without a doubt Crash's greatest adventure yet.
Crash Bandicoot 4 is a game that has been a long-time coming. Toys for Bob have really captured what made the original games special, while also modernizing it and delivering their own stamp on the franchise. Fans of the original finally get the sequel they deserved, and it feels good to live in this renaissance of PSOne-era games making a comeback. I hope Crash continues to live on and we don’t have to wait as long for Crash 5.
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 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.
The challenges and style make the latest installment in the Crash Bandicoot series instantly feel like one of the classics, but there are so many new features and abilities that the game is several steps ahead of its predecessors. It's both a throwback to the past and an innovative glimpse into the future, striking a balance that so few reboots and sequels are able to find. If you love Crash, It's About Time is as close to perfect as you can get, even if it makes you break a controller now and then.
Although the game has some flaws, Crash 4 is a joy to play thanks to a great deal of content. The platforming action will bring a smile to your face, no matter if you're a fan from back in the day or if this is your first Crash title.

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.

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.
