First time I’m playing Crash Bandicoot, and I am pleasantly surprised! This N. Sane Trilogy seems to be a good entry point. It’s quite challenging with precise jumping needed,
but the amount of fun cannot be denied. You can spin your way through enemies and boxes in order to advance, and your jumps sometimes need perfect timing in order to progress. With enough levels and motivation to destroy all
the boxes and see the bonus content, Crash Bandicoot is a classic 3D platformer!

Cortex Strikes Back
A sequel with more varied levels, but the world map is missing this time, Cortex Strikes Back lets your arch nemesis trick you into collecting purple crystals so that he can achieve
world domination and everyone becomes his slaves! The challenge is still there but is a bit more mild. Collecting the purple crystals is required to beat the game, the other gems however are bonuses. Playing more as Coco this
time, Crash’s cute sister, it’s another solid title!

Warped
This time Crash and Coco are able to perform more flashy and handy moves, such as double jumping, spinning extra longer to hover in the air, and riding on a bicycle to race! Warped has
levels with more stereotypical settings, and despite being the easiest, again I could not deny the amount of fun and just the right amount of challenge presented. Extra gems are still present, and the secret levels provide
enough motivation and content to see through it all.
Rating: 8.3
In overall, I had a blast playing through all three of them, and it felt like I uncovered a hidden section or part from my 90's youth! Now let's just hope that Sony sees the revitalized success of Crash Bandicoot, and start cranking out more remastered editions or sequels, or better yet, what about reviving Spyro the Dragon!?
