Professional reviews from gaming critics
The Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy has exceeded my expectations as an overall package. Vicarious Visions have done a really good job at improving the overall presentation of all three games as well as fine-tuning things such as the save system and added time trials. Above all, they’ve accomplished this whilst maintaining the core platforming aspects that made Crash so memorable to begin with. I was worried that these games wouldn’t hold up and would ruin some great memories, but they’ve just reminded me why I’m so passionate about games in the first place. The PS4 version of this game was pl...
I don't know about you but I'm always up for a good, out-of-date game getting an awesome, up-to-date makeover. It's a nice little nod to the fans and it's a gre
May it be the likes of Shadow of the Colossus or Metal Gear Solid, if it’s quite there but not enough to push the boundaries, it’s still an awesome game.
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy lets players spin, jump and wump as they take on the epic challenges and adventures from the three Crash games that started it all: Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back and Crash Bandicoot: Warped.
Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy give you a tremendous amount of bang for your buck. The three games contained within are long, detailed and beautiful, and they feel right at home on the Nintendo Switch.
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. The levels in Crash Bandicoot can typically be ran through in a minute or two (as long as you’re not dying repeatedly), so they are really the perfect fit for some pick-up-and-play gaming sessions. Getting through the three titles on the go proves a much more enjoyable experience than staring at a television for hours on end, where the gameplay can start to feel overly repetitive. Ultim…
Editor’s Note: Twinfinite reviewed Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy last year, and much of our nitty-gritty analysis of the game itself is unchanged going into this review of the Nintendo Switch version. So we’ll be mostly honing in on the differences between the PS4 version that we reviewed last year, and the Switch version this year. For a more complete breakdown of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, to supplement this review here, please read our review from last year.
It’s my job to educate you on whether or not Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is worth your hard-earned $40. Consider the whole package. You’re getting three games completely remade from scratch. You’re getting the (expected but no less transformative) ability to play them at 60fps. The PC version is unquestionably the definitive version. And if like me you were a kid in the ‘90s, you’re getting that intangible value of re-living games from your childhood in their idealized form. So...
Despite a handful of bizarre small changes from the original games, Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy is still quite a riot. Naughty Dog’s iconic “on-rails” 3D platformers, remade from the ground up by Vicarious Visions, is still a lot of fun, with the main character’s iconic spins making for what is still a quite fresh experience that differentiates itself from other titles in the genre. With tons of content and a massive amount of extremely hard challenges to aim for in the search of that elusive 100% completion (and beyond), this is one of those platformers that could keep you coming back fo...
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.
Excellent remaster on the visual front, crippled with some poor controls that made the gameplay suffer.
As such, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is a hard game to recommend. The remade presentation as a whole is terrific, and Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped is a totally enjoyable retro platformer. But, the problem remains that the first two games simply aren’t very good. They are hindered by control and level design issues which are simply unacceptable in a straightforward platformer. Even when they’re firing on all cylinders, the first two titles struggle to rise above mediocre. The strength of one game cannot bear the weight of two clunkers unfortunately, making the N. Sane Trilogy a tough sell, esp...
