Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy: 15 Most Brutally Hard Levels

15. Sunset Vista (Crash Bandicoot)

Sunset Vista is essentially a longer and more infuriating version of the ruins-themed The Lost City from earlier on in the first Crash game.

With the likes of bats, stone platforms with unpredictable movement, annoying lizard-things, flaming platforms and some ridiculously vertiginous platforming that asks the player to keep leaping with only the sparsest of checkpoints, this is truly a level that throws just about everything at the player.

It wouldn't be so bad if the level wasn't so punishingly long, and as such on a first try this one can easily fritter away a huge amount of lives, so it's advised to have a backup save you can load up before attempting to slog your way through it (and that's true of all these levels, really).

Above all else, make sure you set aside a good amount of time to tackle this one.
