8 Secret Video Game Endings Not Worth Your Time

Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is a marvelous and horrible beast indeed.

On the one side, it's a lovingly crafting, some would say impeccable, platforming game that proved above all else that there was still life in the genre, and delivered a brilliantly silly tale featuring icons of the industry and returning fan favorites. Here Toys For Bob had shown the world its aptitude for well-crafted levels and respect for the source material.

However on the flip side, this is a game that will utterly break you should you aim for total completion, as the likes of Caddicarus and Jirard Khalil Aka The Completionist can attest to. I say this because in order to max complete this game you need to find every gem, break every box, complete every single hidden level and side stage, beat all of the time trials, and basically grind the disc and snort it up your nose to become one with the experience.

And much like snorting crushed plastics, this is a painful experience indeed.

The sheer time sink alone is insane with some levels needing several perfect playthroughs each to attain all the relevant collectibles, and when multiplied by the dozens of other stages means this will likely be your one and only game for quite a while.

Even when you hit the 100% completion ranking the game wags a finger and points at another 6% that you'll need to see the game's true ending. And what do you get for this insane dedication? About twenty seconds of Aku Aku laughing. It's hard to tell at this point what the evil mask is laughing at but there's a good bloody chance that it's directly at you for being such a mug.
