4. Every Second Of 'The High Road' In Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy

If you're booting up the N. Sane Trilogy for the first time since your childhood you're probably going to wonder how you ever got through these challenging platforming games as a kid.

The original Crash Bandicoot in particular is ridiculously demanding, and a good chunk of its later levels could have easily taken up half of this list.

But it's the infuriating High Road section that has had players up in arms over the past few weeks. Forcing you to traverse a narrow, unreliable wooden bridge with pitfalls, trap planks and wild hogs all out to get you, The High Road shows the true masochistic colours that hide behind Crash's seemingly lovable exterior.

It's a level that was always hard, but with this remaster developer Vicarious Visions opted to use one jumping system across all three games - and unfortunately it's not the one that this challenging area was made for.
