Knowing that most players will be playing on ‘Modern’, developer Toys For Bob is able to push the difficulty-up like never before. The game’s most difficult levels are somewhat soft-padded knowing you can try indefinitely, although it does keep a death counter in the corner of the screen so you’re aware how bad you’re playing at all times. The game suggests the ‘Modern’ mode and it’s what I played on and the game is clearly designed with this mode in mind. A ‘Classic’ mode that will see you getting a game over screen if you run out of lives and have to start the level all over again, or the ‘Modern’ mode which lets you restart from a checkpoint an infinite amount of times. This is especially true in the later levels where you need to perform fast and precise platforming in tandem with the Quantum Masks abilities.Ĭrash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time does give you two difficulty options to pick from. These masks are the core reason for the difficulty of the game as they each add an additional precision input needed from players on top of the usual jumping, and spinning. They don’t replace Aku Aku masks, which still appear in crates like previous games and allow you to take an extra bump, but instead appear at key segments of levels you need them for. Each is used in smart ways throughout the campaign and never feel like silly gimmicks just to get more masks into the game. These four Quantum Masks give you the ability to slow down time, bend gravity, spin like a tornado and play with reality. In conjunction with typical Crash Bandicoot platforming that will see you bouncing on boxes, spinning enemies, and performing platforming either in a 3D space going forward or some side-scrolling sections, you’re given four new masks as the story progress.

Which is a good thing because this is also the hardest game in the series that requires some pin-point movements and fast decision making. In comparison to the locked 30fps of the N.Sanity Collection, this is a huge difference and Crash’s actions feel more precise than ever before.

It’s classic 3D platforming but it feels better than ever, especially on my PlayStation 4 Pro where the game seems to hit a steady 60fps most of the time. If you’ve played any of the classic Crash Bandicoot games you’ll know what you’re in for with Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time.
