The most diverse experience occurs in the original, where the controls seem limited and less fluid than in the second and third entries in the trilogy. Spoiler alert: the Crash Bandicoot: N-Sane Trilogy is not one of those things, and is very much a great addition to any gamer’s library, whether they played the originals or not.Įach game in the N-Sane Trilogy plays roughly the same. Now, having spent time playing all three games in the remastered trilogy and beating two of them, I’d like to share my thoughts on the game, nostalgia, and why some things are best left in the past. Once the game was announced for the Nintendo Switch, quite a long time after, my frown turned into pure giddiness. I had hoped for a wider release, at the very least on Xbox One. When they announced the Crash Bandicoot: N-Sane Trilogy for PS4, my heart sunk.

I had all the different gameboys but I wanted something for the TV, and when I got a PlayStation One, Spyro and Crash were some of my first and closest friends. I loved the Crash games growing up and those games alongside Spyro, who is also getting his own original trilogy remaster, were the first memories I made while gaming on a home console. It gets harder every time a game like Horizon: Zero Dawn or Death Stranding releases or gets announced, but I’ll be honest, Crash Bandicoot: N-Sane Trilogy was the toughest to swallow. I have to explain endlessly to people why I don’t own a PS4.
