“There's two ways to play this game: 1) You play through each level, get some boxes, you die a few times, you finish the story and uninstall when you're done, it's fun. Or 2) You try to get 106% and go through one of the…”
“This game feels like my childhood when the first three games came out on ps1 along with spyro, its very fun and relaxing at times (like some times). I recommend it full 100@ if you find it on sale.”

“This game is overall really good, if you're a die hard Crash fan like me, i'd heavily suggest picking up this game and giving it a go. Before you buy however, i must warn you that it's not like the old crash games in gameplay sense. It does still have the corridor style tedious…”
— a player, Steam review · 20 hrs played“[i]Crash Bandicoot 4[/i] is a lot of fun, but it also feels like it is trying to do too much.
