One of the greatest stories in video game history, foretold of the dangers of AI, Social Media, general Internet Age type stuff and all this back in 2001. I seemed to get lucky with the port, I didn't have any major crashes or loss of progress although I have seen people having many problems with it so keep that in mind. Gameplay holds up too! MGS3 is still where my hearts at but this is still in my All Timer's. Many fond memories of playing the VR missions and messing about in the cutscene viewer at a friends house back in the day.

As a kid I played the ps1 demo multiple times, gripped by anxiety of getting spotted and hearing that dreaded alert noise. These days the story holds up, unfortunately it shows its age with the controls and horrible backtracking (Twin Snakes later fixed some of this). Beautiful soundtrack. Everything about this is a 10/10 except for the actual "game" part of it.
My number 1 of all time with a bullet. Played it back when it was new, played it when Subsistence was new, played it when the HD 360 version was new, played it when the 3DS port was new and now played it when the PC port was new (reviewing it a few days later tho)... Am I any good at my Number 1 favourite game of all time? Absolutely not.
Port has some issues but I'm so blinded by being able to play this on PC (unemulated) that I can't bring myself to care too much. I could go on for hours but instead I'm gonna just go beat the game Non-Lethally for the 1000th time.

The physics feel better than the N Sane Trilogy but there is still some dodgy hitboxes and camera bullshittery that causes a lot of deaths. I love how Crash looks in this, the artstyle and animations in general are great. I wish they would go back to making Cortex actually menacing and a threat rather than non stop comedy of errors.

A fucking incredible game, the type that comes by once every couple of years or so. I won't deny Act III lets it down slightly and there are some certain unfulfilling character endings COUGH Karlach COUGH but its my GOTY so far. That being said maybe wait a little while for Act III to be flushed out more since right now it's kind of half baked and it seems a lot of people are speculating they are going to put some better endings in (like they literally just did with Karlach actually) and fix a lot more of the bugs.

As someone who owns two Jet Set Radio t-shirts and a hoodie as well as 2Mellos Memories of Tokyo-To on vinyl, to say I was hyped when there was a spiritual successor announced is an understatement. This could be my GOTY, it fully understands the visuals and soundtrack and general atmosphere that made them two games special. This is definitely more fun to actually play than Jet Set Radio as that game hasn't aged too great with the controls.
