I thought that after so much time it would not cause that delight as in childhood, but I was very mistaken. Great game.

Good game but you need at least 4 controllers to go through the whole game because you will break them

Fantastic remakes of 3 undeniable classics. Extremely faithfully made with clear love and care for the originals.
Also PLEASE put Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled on Steam. It makes no sense to make the best kart racing game of all time and keep it hostage on Switch and PS4 at 30FPS

You can't deny that this is just pure platforming perfection, as these three games lent a hand in making the PS1 as famous as it is, since they all sold very well on said console.
Just about everything in this collection is of good quality, even though the N. Sane difficulty of a few things can grind your gears excessively. The visuals, the gameplay, the music, the fact that the PC version runs in 60fps (which the devs missed an opportunity for with the PS5 and Xbox Series consoles)... lovely.
Of the three, I'd probably recommend Crash 2 the most. You should still have a good time with 1 and 3, though.
Steam Deck Compatibility:
That "Verified" tag is rightfully deserved. Having 100%'ed Crash 2 on my OLED unit recently, this collection runs extremely well. You can achieve 60fps with a good-looking image (1280x800, Medium preset, Low Shadows, no Motion Blur nor DOF), with dips to be shown in a few levels. You can lock your FPS to 40 if you want the battery to last a little longer. Great set of games for the Deck.

SHORT REVIEW : this is simply one of the best remakes ever made. Crash Bandicoot is the history of platform games on consoles and they managed to recreate all the good things of the three main games without ruining any single aspect of the gameplay. A must-have for all video game lovers.
> Gameplay ( 8.9 / 10 ) : the gameplay is the same as the original games, where you have to complete each level and defend the bosses of every area. Movements are fluid, the game has good performances and I've never found bugs, frame drops or crashes. Each level can be completed multiple times to gather gems that need a good ability in platforming and relics with time trials.
> Story ( 6.5 / 10 ) : the story in this game is really basic and a bit fun, where the protagonists have to fight the bad guys to save the world from their crazy minds. Each character is particular and funny for sure, even if they're not very detailed in their personality.
> Aesthetics ( 8.8 / 10 ) : amazing work has been done in recreating the exact same levels, same objects and same characters, keeping the same humorous caricatural style. The graphics of this game is really and there are pretty visual effects, even if sometimes models and textures of minor objects lack of details.
> Audio ( 9.0 / 10 ) : beautiful job also with the audio system. The same old songs and sounds have been remade with the best quality, giving the same vibes and feelings while playing. Still are missing some ambient sounds if you want to play without music.
> Difficulty ( 8.2 / 10 ) : there are a lot of challenges in this game. Completing the basic level is quite easy, but if you want to get all the gems and relics you have to sweat a lot and lose hundreds of lives if you want to get everything. Beating the game at 100% is not only for completism but also part of the game where you want to overcome your limits and challenges. However, some parts look like they're intended to be more frustrating than funny.
> Overall Rating ( 8.3 / 10 ) <

I played Crash Bandicoot for the first time on PS One that my dad gave me as a birthday gift when I was ten. Now I'm 37 and I gave myself this remake as a birthday gift again. Dad passed away but the good old days still with me :,)

I played Crash Bandicoot 2 from this trilogy and how in the world did I play this as a child!? It was so much more difficult than I remembered but I love it!
This game is all about platforming, so get ready for a ton of it. While I am not usually the biggest can of platformers, the animation, story, and nostalgia were enough to keep me entranced. I absolutely recommend this game, even if you didn't play it as a kid, if you like platformers and want something fun and exciting!
