Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is a game that came out in the later part of 2020, amidst a lot happening around the world. It was nominated for four awards across two award shows. It brought back the Crash Bandicoot cast of characters to the big stages of PC, PS4/5, XBOX, and Nintendo with the Switch. I played the Switch version of this game. What do I think this game does well, what does it not do well? All of that and more below.
Positives:
1. Graphics- Okay this was always going to be a step up from the past to now anyway but this game does well on every format for graphics on any levels. The developers swung big, and they hit a home run in this department here.
2. Crash- I feel his character is done very well here. He has the same springing type nature of his games predecessors. He also is good with the levels that are presented in the game.
3. Crash's Partners- I will also bring this up later, but I like the type of Spyro-ish nature of using multiple buddies to do levels. I think it is a thing that works well with this game as well!
Negatives:
1. Difficulty- Yep the ridiculous nature of the difficulty of the first games strikes here as well. There's a point where a game just becomes way too annoyingly difficulty-wise. It's absolutely this game in a nutshell (and likely with the second and third games as well.)
2. Crash's Partners are limited in scope- One thing I found also kind of annoying was that Crash's partners, while neat, are limited in scope in a way. They all have their advantages but some significant disadvantages too. I would love to point everyone of them out, but I feel like that's a bit of a spoiler so I would let you play the game yourself to point it out!
Overall:
I have to give Crash 4 an 8 out of 10. There are some negatives but the levels and what you can do with Crash really exemplify how this game can be pretty special and unique overall. It's a well made game and I would recommend playing it.
