I picked up the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy a couple of weeks ago. I played it on Xbox a couple of years back and I wasn't really feeling it. I got it on Switch and something clicked this time. From the start it looks fantastic (although a tad dark at times).

I mainly played through the first one but then it started kicking my arse, so I went on to 2 for a bit of a change. In places it feels just as difficult as the first, but it's just a case of repetition and hoping the abysmal hit detection doesn't take any lives from you.

I don't know if it's nostalgia or if it's a genuinely great game, but I kept coming back and at times this was top tier comfort gaming. A great looking game and some brilliant if frustrating levels. I finished all the levels and the final boss fight was probably the easiest in videogame history, but it's about the journey. One filled with effing and blinding whilst more often than not having a good time. Might go back and try for 100% one day.
