My Brutally Honest Review of Crash Bandicoot 4!

[@DreamcastGuy]

Thanks for watching the review and smashing that LIKE button!! It really does help

[@BetterCallJamie]

Got to downvote this one, again this is an Activision project so you know Microtransactions and cosmetics are coming but no mention of it. Yes you can’t comment on what is there but you should of mentioned this being an Activision game expect some additional in your face monetisation coming soon. This wasn’t brutally honest. Your getting too nice and with this game you have been taken over by nostalgia and Naughty Dogs work instead of 2020 and how Activision works. Apart from that keep up the good work. Honestly you are a good KZbinr keep it up and keep dreaming :)

Yeah some levels felt like they can last 20-30 minutes, could just be because I kept dying and getting stuck in bonus levels too though lol. Took me about 10 hours to get to the end of story.

[@infinitedeath1384]

@@ChristopherWaddelow More like, superhuman to get them all first try. Some of them are easier than other, especially the first video tape. I got the one on my first try, and the third one first try. I did die a few times on the others, but less than 10 times on each one. I would do 106% completion on crash 4, but im so addicted to the demons souls remake and dark souls 3 it's ridiculous. I can't seem to put those games down. I love difficult games, as they are the only things that can challenge my reflexes, and understanding of mechanics. Dark souls 3 for example, challenges memory, reflexes and understanding of game mechanics. As for memory, that is knowing the bosses attack patterns to help you predict and react to what they do next. Reflexes, the bosses and some of the enemies have very quick attacks, where you can easily be killed if you don't make fast decisions. Lastly understanding of mechanics, knowing when to roll to get i frames, managing your stamina, and parrying if you're into that kinda thing. I prefer to block and get behind the enemy for easy backstabs over parrying them, and the parrying in dark souls games is much more complicated than in other games with a parry system.

[@ericc3803]

The only bad things I have to say about this game is that the loading screen is so long going into a level, also dying before a checkpoint still counts as a death even though you still start at the beginning of a level. This is annoying trying to 100% the game because to reset the death counter you have to restart the level which takes you back into a long loading screen. It would be better if it it didn’t start counting deaths until you reach a checkpoint. Everything else about the game though is perfect!!! It’s such a fun game!!!!

[@modifier9569]

That's why the sales are a fail, after a recent great success for the Crash remake, because here there's fake opinions from people who don't care and just like to play what is new.

Some advice to anyone who wants to play it. Don’t bother trying to collect gems. There’s way too many and it’s really spoiling my play through. When you have to break 400 boxes and miss one.... not exaggerating. The levels are way too long and the difficulty is much harder than the original trilogy. Though I am playing without the yellow enhanced shadow ring and that would probably make it easier if I turned it on.

[@Nobody_Shroom]

I think you should beat the game, and if you still want more, go for the gems. But definitely do not try to do them on your first go.

[@RodniDemental]

I kind of want Jak to stay back in time. I dunno, I don't see them reviving it properly. The dynamic of the original trilogy wouldn't be able to be recaptured easily. They'd be more likely to focus purely on the first game's style and miss what built/served the series as a whole IMO Also the way the gameplay mechanics and techniques feel is pretty smooth, I could only hope they tried to get that as close as possible but I just don't even want them to try for some reason haha.

[@rosemoonaqua]

Kaan Erdi The Lost Frontier was put out on the PSP as well as the PS2 NOT the PSV. The PSP sold pretty well and had tons of mainstream appeal, do your research. The PSV failed because they sold expensive memory cards, which you couldn’t really do anything on the system without it, and which were only made by Sony themselves, that were priced half the price of the console and Sony failed to support it properly. It came way too late in the PS3’s lifetime and the features that were there were only really supported on the PS3 and not what came after

[@Cruddy129]

Short and sweet? Were we playing the same game? Some levels felt like they are like 45 minutes long, the checkpoints in particular, sometimes are so far and in between it felt like a Dark Souls game

[@paladinheadquarters7776]

[@drewpass5697]

As someone who is a huge fan of the original trilogy and CTR, my biggest concern is adding too much new 'stuff' that makes it take away from the simplicity (for lack of better word) of the original trilogy. Warped had the perfect amount of skills/powers and collectibles (gems, time trial relics, crystals), and I was worried that adding more to this would become too much. With that said, I am for sure buying this game as it does look like it keeps the 'feel' of the original trilogy.

I kinda disagree with the 100% thing you said. Personally as somebody who 100% all Crash games before, I see the 100% in this one as kinds stupid specifically when you want the Platinum Throphy.

[@ChristopherWaddelow]

Your whole comment about the mask and flipping it too much made little sense. You can only flip the mask once to leave the current ground and once more to readjust back, otherwise you would need to touch the ground again. There is no flying with it. Dingodile can jump just as much as Crash, and I am pretty certain he runs no slower. No person has gotten everything in this game yet, so that isn't true. Also, as was pointed out in the comments below, the game pretty much tricks or outright makes you die in a lot of the bonus rooms. So if someone was coming in expecting a fair game you will have let them down. You kept talking like there are more than four masks, or that there are multiple time masks specifically. Dying a lot on the last levels does not make them bad, you would need to provide some evidence to say they are bad. This is assuming that is what you meant with the death counter and mask flipping point. Lastly if you say 95% of the levels are good, I would like for you to explain a bit about what makes them bad. If you want it too be assumed that the hard levels are bad then it would be better to make more than one draft of your script, so I am not guessing based on your poorly constructed points. I would consider this a first impressions video, and absolutely nothing close to a brutally honest review.

1:43 Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time does NOT retcon all of the other Crash games. Toys For Bob has confirmed this multiple times, while Crash 4 takes place in the same timeline as the original trilogy, that doesn’t make the post Naughty Dog games not canon. You can even see while playing Crash 4 that it has a lot of references to the post Naughty Dog games too along with the original trilogy.

This game was better than I expected it to be. Gameplay and level design are really good. I love the hidden gems. We got a lot of levels and they are very long. Graphics are good but not gorgeous which is a shame it could've been so beautiful with better lighting and texture details and little bit more realistic colors. Music is good but not gorgeous either, they went with Crash 1 type of music which doesn't make itself very noticeable but blends in very well, I personally prefer Crash 2 and 3 type of music which is more present and entertaining and sometimes very immersive as they use some animal sounds in the distance in the music.

All those other games were not naughty dog(past 3)so when I saw this game, it felt like a return to the original trilogy 😎👍 so I am glad to hear you say that it mostly is and that it delivers. I will probably get it later when it goes down in price(cuz ps5 and games and extra controller etc. Took alot of my current cash) but i definitely am interested cuz crash is one of the first games i played on ps1 and i love the brutal gameplay(i recently beat crash bandicoot one) and again felt very accomplished after it 😊 my nephew said, uncle josh how did you beat that, it's so hard haha. Kids nowadays want a life bar and easy mode but games of old just gave you one life...and sometime a extra hit but then...survive lol! And it made you a better player 😎👍 I miss a world where people would try after they fail instead of killing themselves or giving up? Failing actually helps you to succeed, helps you learn. Great job gc guy, you da man. Appreciate you bro 🙂👍

[@JussiValtanen]

WTF is this guy talking O_O There are not over 50 levels, there are 38 The N verted levels are not "hard mode", they are mirrored with slightly different boxes idea of time trials is not to go under two minutes, on many levels this is impossible. Seriously, WTF???

[@Amber_xo_133]

They really need to Remake WOC,Twinsanity,MOM,and COTT on the PS4,PS5,PC,Xbox One,Switch and Xbox Series One X.

Great video bro nearly at 200k subs👍

[@THaB4DGuY]

aint no such thing as replay value when the game is so damn trolly annoying, frustrating, and boring that you dont even want to finish playing it once. I beat all the crash games when they were new on ps1. i 100% almost every souls game, elden ring, sekiro at least once if not twice on xbox and playstation. this game fkn sux.

[@eyeoftheosprey6678]

I'm so excited for this game! Question is: should I finish up the N Sane Trilogy first?

[@stanleymikkosantiago1925]

yes

[@MrVinnysWorld]

The levels are too long, the backwards jumps do not work the same, the difficulty spike was horrific, and the tapes .....ugh all of that made me delete the game

[@igortolstov487]

They overdid with crates hiding off camera.

[@rosemoonaqua]

They overdid it with a lot of the things in game, it can get annoying.

[@brantchristy3490]

@@rosemoonaqua While I do think that the actual levels are some of the most difficult yet satisfying 3d platforming levels I've seen in a LONG time, I have to agree that this game fell into a modern gaming trap of adding unnecessary content to feel like it's worth the $60. I'm fine with n verted mode, but incredibly high box counts, perfect relics, and reusing Crash segments for others' levels wasn't very wise imo. To be fair though, you'd only notice this if you plan on going full completion.

[@patrickhanlon2325]

Review was alright but that title feels really click baity.

[@saniakshay12]

All his reviews do that now. I dislike it as well. Does it mean his earlier reviews were lies because they weren't "brutally honest"

[@red5robb1]

My main issue with the game is the amount of boxes in levels. I think the most in the original trilogy was 155 in cold hard crash but pretty much all of those were easily visible, you just needed the skill to get them. Crash 4 however they just hide a lot of boxes behind things and areas you can't see. I dont want to replay levels trying to get the box gem if there are 250 crates to find

[@lukes.854]

I think the levels are too long for it's own good, if they had say 50 levels instead of 38 but they were way shorter this game would be *THE* crash game

[@CookCaramier]

Please stop with the "brutally honest" in your title. It's so damn cringey.

I'm digging the level design, very colorful.

That would be the visual design, not the level design. You could argue it is the level design, but that term is primarily used for the mechanics in my experience.

[@danielsmith7958]

It doesn't feel at all like old school crash for me. They've thrown in far too many new features that are super finicky, especially the new masks. They've failed to create a game that feels like crash at its essence. 100% respect for anyone who has a different opinion and enjoyed this game.

[@xcrack6364]

Lol. I love how everyone's first gaming experience is always directly related to every single "brutally" honest reviews people do. By the way, this isn't brutally honest. Saying something closer to the line of like hey, I got a name I use for myself based on a system that's never been relevant and I have the perfect face for moustache rides. That's brutally honest.

It's an absolutely worthy entry to the series but the levels are just too long imo, it gets to the point where I, a completionist, just gave up on box gems because it was just getting too long and it's not like i'd get the box gem first try anyways because they always hide them everywhere

I got a bad feeling this game won't sell well. You get a game like this and all you see from most people is *ohh I'll wait for a sale* it's a shame too considering that same group tends to complain about games being bloated and re hash after rehash. Yet a game like this gets the I'll wait for a sale treatment because it doesn't have a 1000 hours of gameplay and a huge open world with a 100000 fetch quests, the very same thing a mass majority complain about..like wut!? lol

[@breadeats]

I mean i can quite understand it, paying 60 bucks for game that can Be completed in same day when you bought it, is kinda harsh especially when there is F2P games that gives hundreds of hours of content. But at the sametime skipping games like these kills creativity and makes market stale. They should charged 40-50 dollars instead for real. Im gonna still pay full price once i can spare money, but i cant really shame ppl for waiting discount price.

[@Ock_mantis]

@@breadeats not shaming, just Being real. I think people are hypocrites. You won't pay day one for a 60$ game that's giving you an amazing experience and hasn't been seen in years! , though potentially short. But pay 60 day one for another 100 hour copy paste. Which is fine but then complain about it? That is what gets me. AC oddisee for instance. People will line up by the truck load for another one of those. But you and i both know whats gonna follow. That seems more like wasted money to me. Quantity over quality is fine. Just don't complain about it later. And don't complain when we start seeing less and less quality because people ignore it over hours spent.

[@idr121]

I enjoy the game and that it has managed to push the boundaries of the Crash gameplay, innovate new things and still feel familiar enough. I do not agree with giving it a 9 though. I would give it 7 or 8 myself, for the reason that the game has blatant amounts of padding with inverted levels and sometimes the devs simply did not know when enough is enough - Tons of hidden boxes, levels a bit too long generally, repeating levels for no particular reason, etc. Game feels very loose more often than not. I am fine with trial and error kind of gameplay, but I don't think a game should be built to waste your time and have waiting as a part of game play, for example with flaming boxes that are generally not in challenging positions but just force you to waste time.
