A good Crash game! At times, visually stunning, especially in the sections spent hopping across dinosaur heads or bopping on the backs of floating alien turtles. It’s impressive when a linear platformer can create ‘wow’ moments in these vistas. But everything tacked onto the Crash formula feels undercooked.

The new mask powers are uninteresting, even adding a messiness to the controls that makes those sections feel unnecessarily difficult. And they’re utilized too infrequently and too far apart to make you comfortable using them. The last mask, flipping gravity, feels too overused in the genre to be a rewarding end-game power.
