10 Video Games That Won By Destroying EVERYTHING
9. Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time
After the success of the first three Crash Bandicoot games, nobody would've blamed Naughty Dog if they threw out a couple more sequels in rapid succession.
Instead, the company took on different projects, encouraging other developers to step in and devise all sorts of Crash spin-offs. The lack of an official sequel drew disappointment, but some follow-ups did favourably, especially the kart-racing entries.
But as Crash Bash, Twinsanity, Mind Over Mutant, and Crash Boom Bang prove, the bad far outweighed the good. And when the N. Sane Trilogy remake sold well, it was clear the rabid fanbase wanted another traditional crate-bashing adventure.
And after a gruelling 22-year wait, the aptly named Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time saw the light of day. The multiversal platformer boasted many great ideas, involving time-controlling mechanics and being able to play as different characters with their own skill-set (including Neo Cortex).
However, Crash 4 still felt like a true continuation, since it emulated the look and feel of Crash I-III perfectly. Also, anyone expecting this sequel to tone down the difficult to accommodate modern gamers will be reassured (or horrified) to learn It's About Time is as brutally unfair as the PSOne games.
Yay, I guess.
