Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases

What players say

Incredible games. I don't even know how many times I've completed these games from Childhood to Adulthood. Great remaster by Vicarious Visions. The Graphics are great without losing the originals' charm. The levels themselves are greatly designed. These are among the greatest platformers ever createed. The soundtrack takes me right back to childhood playing on the PS1. 10/10

Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity? Doing the exact same bridge jump on The High Road 47 times in a row and expecting a different result. That isn't a platformer... that's a psychological experiment . The Good [*] Nostalgia [*] Gorgeous graphics [*] Spinning as a bandicoot The Bad [*] I can hear the Aku Aku sound in my sleep 9/10 Off to hate myself getting the rest of the time relics! Send help.

How is it even possible to completely remake these games but still have Crash just fail to kill enemies with a spin or fall through crates? For games built around being beaten 100% there sure are jumps that are just dumb luck if the game won't just break when you try them.
