Games You Played Today: 13 Going On 30

Accidentally downloaded Crash Bandicoot 4 when I meant to download the Crash 1-3 remake, so decided to hop back in where I stopped years back. My opinion remains the same: the developers decided, for better and worse, that they had two objectives:

  1. Create a game that is a sequential increase in complexity and challenge from Crash 3
  2. No one’s ever going to make Crash 5, so get it all in for this one.

It’s the kind of game that has infinite lives on by default, and it’ll let you switch to limited lives, but it advises you not to do that. Even with limited lives on it’s still balanced so that after losing 13 lives on a level I was still only down 2 net lives. I’m not sure I can fault the game for doing all this; they gave me what I thought I wanted. I would have been disappointed if anything was left on the table.

So, Toys For Bob, what have you been up to after 3 back to back decent mascot platformer games?
