Crash Bandicoot™ N. Sane Trilogy

Grab it on sale, massive value and super fun

Awesome remaster! Definently recommend playing this remaster of this classic bandicoot game!

Fun, challenging and nostalgic game :)

I mean, its Crash what more do you need.

I am bad at this game but Coco is cute so I can recommend it for that. 2 and 3 are better designed and more variety while 1 has some extremely obnoxious levels and optional objectives. I think the controls are better than the original, I remember some of the alternative playstyles in Warped being much more irritating in the originals than they are in this.

I prefer CTR, I'm just putting a review at this point hoping for a port of that. I don't want to drag out my ps4 for Goth Coco

The orange boy does indeed jumpeth.
Faithful remake

Nostalgic and challenging with improved graphics. It was on sale when I purchased, so it made replaying all over again that much more enticing. They don't make em like this anymore!

Please bring CRASH TEAM RACING to STEAM.

EDIT: Please bring CRASH TEAM RACING to STEAM!

85 hours of full on nostalgia and I finally 100%ed. Would recommend to anybody that likes platformers and would definitely recommend to anybody who played the PlayStation 1 and 2 games in the past! Next order of business is 100%ing Crash Bandicoot 4!

FInally finish this game after buying it many years ago. Typical crash bs was fully created 1 to 1 in the remade level design. The driving levels in crash 3 will always suck. Great remake tho.

It's Crash bandicoot on PC of course I'd recommend it 3 games remastered for a newer generation i already have 2 copies i just need Xbox and switch ports to complete my addiction of an amazing gem.

yeah cant even play i cant get it windowed to fit the screen it started doing this when i hit 12 minute's of game play, it's a shame two since i've played this year's ago as a child. 😒

The game of my childhood, imbued with nostalgia and the feeling that today is a day off, it's winter outside, you are a simple schoolboy who is just relaxing, playing this game, and your whole life is still ahead.

The game consists of the legendary trilogy, which was reworked to the modern standards of the 3D platformer gaming industry with the addition of small but pleasant details, such as the ability to play as Coco and go through a couple of new levels.

The game is well optimized, has practically no bugs, mostly graphic, but they do not affect the passage in any way. The details of the characters and the setting of the levels are well worked out, the musical accompaniment has been reworked, but the charm of the legend remains.

*****

Игра моего детства, пропитанная ностальгией и чувством того, что сегодня выходной день, на улице зима, ты простой школьник, который просто отдыхает, играя в эту игру, а вся жизнь ещё впереди.

Игра состоит из легендарной трилогии, что была переработана под современные нормы игровой индустрии 3D платформеров с добавлением мелких, но приятных деталей, по типу возможности играть за Коко и пройти парочку новых уровней.

Игра хорошо оптимизирована, практически не имеет багов, в основном графические, но они на прохождение никак не влияют. Детали персонажей и сеттинга уровней хорошо проработаны, музыкальное сопровождение переработано, но шарм легенды остался.

One of the best remakes ever made during the remake craze time

The game worked fine, now it hasn't worked at all in a week or so. Can't even play it anymore.

Originals were far superior

I've been a major fan of the Crash Bandicoot franchise for a long time and the N. Sane Trilogy captures a lot of the nostalgia from the original Playstation version while also throwing in some new unique extra features.

While this is good, I do think a remaster should just be sticking to what the game was exactly because the majority of us are only purchasing the game because we had played the original.

Upon playing this I did notice that he definitely moves differently from the original, while the original games movement had a nice flow this Crash seems to be more rigid which just takes time getting used to. You can really see the difference in movement if you just watch the way they jump/fall in the remaster vrs the original. This is not necessarily a bad thing but it was definitely noticeable comparing both games.

Despite these the game overall is really fun as always!

Really Nice game, would recommend it to everyone!

A masterpiece! A must-have for everyone! Overall score: 9/10

As a fan of the original games, I found the N. Sane Trilogy to be a faithful and lovingly crafted remaster that respects the source material while improving upon it visually and functionally. It can be frustratingly difficult at times, particularly for newcomers unfamiliar with old-school platformers, but it’s immensely satisfying when you overcome its challenges. Whether you're reliving your childhood or discovering Crash for the first time, this trilogy offers a rewarding and visually stunning platforming experience.

Story: 8/10

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy stays true to the original games' light-hearted, quirky narrative. Across the three games, Crash Bandicoot finds himself repeatedly pitted against the evil Dr. Neo Cortex and his minions. While the plot is straightforward—stop Cortex and save the world—it’s filled with charm, humor, and personality. The story isn’t the main draw here, but it does a fine job of tying the levels and challenges together while giving players a nostalgic dose of '90s platforming storytelling.

Graphics: 10/10

One of the trilogy’s most impressive upgrades comes in the form of its visuals. Vicarious Visions did an excellent job of reimagining the original games with completely rebuilt assets. The environments are vibrant and richly detailed, the animations are smooth and expressive, and the lighting effects add depth without sacrificing the cartoony aesthetic. Each level pops with color, making old fans feel at home while impressing newcomers with modern polish.

Sound: 10/10

The music and sound effects have been faithfully recreated with enhanced quality. Classic tunes like the jungle and snow levels have been given more dynamic instrumentation while keeping the catchy melodies intact. Character voices and iconic sound effects (like Crash’s spinning “woah!”) are present and satisfying. The overall sound design helps immerse players in each world and complements the visual overhaul perfectly.

Gameplay: 10/10

Gameplay remains faithful to the original games, with tight platforming mechanics that demand precision and timing. The controls can feel slightly stiff at times, particularly in the first game, which is known for its punishing difficulty. However, fans of retro platformers will appreciate the challenge. Each title offers unique levels, boss battles, and collectables, with improvements in level design and mechanics noticeable as you move from Crash 1 to Crash 3. Added features like time trials and unified save/load systems bring a modern sensibility to the experience.

Replay Value: 7/10

The trilogy offers a good amount of replayability, especially for completionists. With multiple gems, relics, and time trial challenges to tackle, there’s plenty of incentive to revisit levels. Players who enjoy perfecting their runs or achieving 100% (or 105%) completion will find lasting value. The addition of trophies/achievements and optional characters like Coco adds further motivation to dive back in.

Favorite quote:
"Defeated again! This is not fair! Maybe I should retire to a nice, big beach with a nice, big drink. And a woman with nice, big... bags of ice for my head..." - Dr. N. Cortex

absolute N SANE nostalgia.
recommended if you liked souls-like genre, more worth it if buying with discount sale.
its so goofy and funni.

Once of my all time favorite games. I grew up on this, Spyro and Tomb Raider 10/10 would recommend

Absolutely fantastic way to play this trilogy. People have been saying that there are some collision issues with this collection compared to the originals but honestly it very rarely affected my playthrough all that much. Maybe it's because I never played the originals to be fair, but I think it goes to show as my first experience with all three of these games, that this is absolutely a solid way to play them. Me personally, excluding specific art pieces (certain promotional renders for this game are fucking hideous) I think the game otherwise has a really cool and appealing art direction. The soundtrack is also pretty nice too. Crash is such a fun world bro, and I'm glad I can consider myself a fan now because of this collection.

My personal ranking:
Crash 1 > Crash 2 >>> Crash 3 (All good games)

Not quite as difficult as the original. Definitely brings back nostalgia.

game is challenging and fun but sometimes it can be annoying to get to the finish

When I first booted up Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, I was hit with an immediate letdown—the game didn’t fit my screen properly. Instead of adjusting automatically to my monitor’s native resolution, it launched in a window that was either too small or stretched awkwardly, cutting off parts of the interface or squishing the visuals. I had to manually dig through settings to correct it every time, which kills the nostalgia vibe a bit.

For a remastered collection that banks heavily on updated visuals, it’s frustrating that something as basic as proper resolution scaling wasn’t handled more seamlessly. It’s especially noticeable if you’re using ultrawide or non-standard displays. This might not be a dealbreaker for everyone, but it’s an annoying hurdle that pulls you out of the experience right from the start.

Absolutely classic, and this remake looks spectacular. It has been great fun connecting with the kids as I relive this game, and they discover it.

Looks like i forgot to leave a review.
It's a lovely and frustrating game.
Graphics are good.
I prefer the gameplay of the 3rd game with a mouse.

What a blast from the past. CB 1 is exactly how I remember it. One of hardest platforms of all time. still with the graphics upgrade I enjoyed every sweaty moment of it. CB 2 gives a breath of fresh air with difficulty dimmed down from the first and crash being able to slide and do a flop attack. enjoyed the game from start to finish. CB 3 was the most fun to play. It is the easiest of the 3 titles. and introduces varying level types you don't see in the Pryor title's. Every boss defeated adds or amplifies crashes growing move set. All in all one of the best remastered titles to date.

9/10 the there games are great but the only proplam is crash froez in has place i download all the update not wroking

its great play on 60 fps and do ultra for apperance.

This game should not have been so difficult to get set up and get started. I have 1920x1080 monitors, and the game first launches in a higher resolution. Eventually, it took a combination of launch options ("-w 1920 -h 1080") and using Alt+Enter twice to get into the in-game settings and fix the resolution.
Then, I boot up the first level of the first game, and the game is going crazy with random inputs and pausing every few seconds. Frustratingly, it seems the game switches from controller to keyboard/mouse whenever the controller doesn't have an active input; so the only solution I found for this was unplugging my keyboard.

Also, Steam Support can't help you besides refunding it and Activision Support requires you to create an Activision account (barf), so purchase this game at your own risk.

My sanity is gone, my controller destroyed, all i feel is never ending agony, even death cannot end this suffering

i never played the original trilogy on my playstation or ever heard of it's existence but i can already tell that i missed a real blast from the past just from the remake this game is one of it's kind and i'm glad i get to play it today.

Completely ignores the graphics settings in game. Opens in an absurd resolution. If you press alt+enter to force windowed mode, many UI elements do not display.

No matter what resolution I set the game to, it did not change after accepting the changes, and is completely unplayable. This is not fit for purpose.

God these games are fun. I've only played the first game so far but the controls are nice and crisp, much better than I remember them being on the PS1. Definitely worth the a pickup for what I paid, which was on sale for $20 CAD.

This was mainly a nostalgic purchase, as I used to play this when I was younger. However, I'm definitely never going to finish it because, even though I'm a fan of platformers, this made me want to chuck my controller at the wall.

Such a great experience. It hits nostalgia like a charm.

Nostalgic but frustrating. Too easy to miss and slip off obstacles because they are further than they appear. Its like playing a game with massive stick drift.

I will always love the originals, but this is not too bad of a collection! I had some issues with some odd settings or my inputs lagging (I'm still not sure if it was the game or my controller). Even then, this is a good start for someone getting into the Crash series for the first time.

Almost 30 years of these amazing games... and I STILL don't know what Aku Aku is saying 😂

It's a mixed bag but overall a completely fine way to play these three classics.
Aesthetically, the vibe of Crash isn't quite right and overall worse, but this has no bearing on the gameplay and the rest of the art direction is fine. The PS1 voice acting cast is simply better but the devs deserve credit for getting the PS2 voice actors back, which do have a cult fanbase.
I'd actually say that Crash Bandicoot 1 feels better to play here than it did in the original PS1 game, as the remake uses a standardized game engine between the three games. It's a remake that isn't perfect but does very little that is wrong.
My biggest criticism is that considering the length the devs went to recreate the game's systems and functions instead of simply porting the original game's code, it's a waste for them to not come up with a few original levels.

In general, it is baffling how in an industry as greedy as this, devs will routinely develop whole suites of creation tools and then not do anything with it anymore after a single game.

This remake is so good. From what I can recall, it's a very faithful rendering of the original games, preserving the feel and the challenge. Yes, some rewards are really hard to get (thankfully you don't need all platinum relics for any achievements). The new levels added for this edition raise the bar even further! But you don't have to play them to complete the game. Overall, just a really fun trilogy with bold, colourful appeal.

Good compilation of the original Crash Trilogy with beautiful visuals. Faithful to the originals in the way it should be while updated for modern quality of life. No problems with controls aside from my own skill issue. Getting 100% wasn't too hard, only big roadblocks were stormy ascent and a few of the hard levels in 2 & 3.

Man playing this game was an unique experience its def a must try, one of the most fun platform games ive ever played and mogs most of the platform games out there

graphics are horrible. jumping is too short. doesn't jump high. too loose with movement

Other gaming companies should learn from this remaster. It's perfect, everything is as it was, the graphical improvement is massive. They barely changed anything, they just made a lot of QoL updates that I appreciate greatly.

terrible remake that feels like it needs another remake. Bugs & crashes

far more bugs than original versions, controls feel clunkier, lacking a level of polish that something like the new donkey kong remaster has. weird fps cap. Playable game but needed more work. Randomly crashes aswell

Crash Bandicoot N'Sane Trilogy es una obra que revive las glorias del pasado, recordando el impacto de la trilogía original desarrollado por Naughty Dog en la era de la PlayStation 1. Esta recopilación no solo logra transmitir esa nostalgia, sino que moderniza la trilogía con detalles que le agregan frescura y desafío.

A pesar de estar basado fielmente en los juegos originales, la trilogía incluye cambios que balancean la experiencia. Por ejemplo, las abejas en Crash Bandicoot 2 las sentí que iban más rápido que en su versión clásica, tal vez era el enfriamiento a la hora de ellas salir a atacar, eso me sorprendió cuando hice Bee Having primero jaja. Sin embargo, no todo es más difícil: en el Crash Bandicoot 1 original no podías morir en el nivel porque sino perdías el progreso de las cajas (además de que no sabías cuántas cajas tenía el nivel), así que niveles como Sunset Vista eran una pesadilla, sin embargo, en esta trilogía eliminan esa limitante (dejándolo sólo en niveles específicos para obtener las gemas de colores) y agregan esa mecánica de las cajas que apenas introdujeron en Crash Bandicoot 3, algo muy positivo. Otro acierto notable es la inclusión de las reliquias en Crash Bandicoot 1 y 2. Obtener las reliquias de oro y platino añade un nuevo nivel de desafío (odié con toda mi alma Stormy Ascent y The High Road, conseguir las reliquias en esos niveles es horrible, e irónicamente me salió platino con Stormy Ascent, vaya suerte jajaja). Por último, que buen agregado el poder utilizar a Coco, ya no se limita a utilizar vehículos como su versión clásica.

En términos de optimización, sorprende gratamente. Mi PC con un procesador Intel i7 de cuarta generación y una tarjeta gráfica Nvidia GT750M de 4GB, el juego pudo correr de manera estable a una resolución de 1366x768 en gráficos medios, sólo tuve caídas leves de rendimiento en los niveles de hielo dónde usan muchos los reflejos, de resto fue muy distrutable.

Terrible controls
Terrible hitboxes
Terrible platinum relic times
Terrible ice physics

Good games but too many bad design decision in the remakes.
