So I finished Crash Bandicoot 4 It's About Time

Beautiful and super fun game, loved it so much that it's my new favourite of the series. Don't really have many more thoughts than I did last time, loved getting to play as best bandicoot Coco for all of the regular levels and the other characters like Tawna and Dingodile with their different playstyles were fun to play as well. Actually got to play as Cortex now and he's cool too although probably my least favourite of the bunch.

I appreciate this game bringing back a lot of the classic characters and I think it really does a lot for them, like I think one of my favourite things was Coco really seeming to admire alternate Tawna and the 2 of the them forming a cute bond. I thought the new masks where all cool as well, both as new mechanics to expand on the gameplay with the powers they give you but also as characters and Time Mask was my favourite because she's a cute grandma. They even bought back the cute baby polar bear that you get to ride again in that one snow level which was cool.

N Tropy playing such a big role and being the main villain was interesting, as was the lady N Tropy showing up and teaming up with him although the weird... selfect thing between themmight be the only thing I didn't like in the game? Yeah that was weird lol. I suppose the idea is that they are so egotistical that they could only like another version of themselves. The boss fight with them was cool though, in fact all the boss fights where good and feel like a good test of your skills with my favourite being N Gin.

The twist of Cortex turning on the the Bandicoots was unsurprising because that jerk will never change and has been the final boss of every other Crash game. But I did like the idea of needing to chase him back in time and going back to his old castle from the first game as the final location. And this final shot of the Bandicoot family all playing games together in the end was super cute.

One level that I specifically want to give attention to is the alien planet from the future sci fi levels leading up to N Tropy. While this game is doing a lot of things to evolve the classic Crash formula, this level in particular really stood out in trying new things beyond the masks from both a gameplay and a presentation perspective. The whole level design and perspective felt really expanded on this one, especially in that part where you ride the alien and have to jump on the floating platforms and there is so far that you can travel to the left and right.

So yeah really fun game but also REALLY hard, easily the hardest Crash game in terms of platforming but they at least give you an infinite lives option so you will only ever go back to the last checkpoint and never have to restart the whole level which would have driven me mad.

Crash doesn't like to see Coco get frustrated, so he helps out by working his magic! Crash himself probably doesn't even know what he did to help, lol.

I've never really done a comic-type thing like this so this was more a challenge for me to draw characters interacting and also attempting to draw them consistently. It was a fun exercise :)

happy pride from the N. Team!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY CANCELLED AN OPEN WORLD PSYCHONAUTS STYLED CRASH BANDICOOT GAME‽‽‽‽

God I am so mad, playable Nina and returning to the academy of evil.

Exploring the minds of the villains to learn more about them and their back stories

THE NEO CORTEX MIND LEVEL GOIN DEEP INTO THE CORTEX FAMILY BEING CIRCUS PERFORMERS AND THAT AFTER THE CIRCUS ALONG WITH HIS ENTIRE FAMILY WENT OUT IN FLAMES ON AN "ACCIDENT" HE COMPLETELY REWROTE HIS FAMILY STORY INTO ONE OF EVIL SCIENTIST!!!

LIKE

WHAT‽‽‽

Cortez's mother

Cortex's Sister (Possibly Nina's mother????)

Cortex's brother

Cortex's Nephew (Possible Nina's brother?????)

God I'm so mad this is literally everything I could want from a new Crash game and more I didn't even know I wanted.

Interacting with the Cortex family would've been so cool even if it was in the monstrous circus forms from Cortex's memories or the made up Evil cientist versions.

holy shit, cash banooka 2024

That's actually a hella ancient idea from 16-17, which was very prominent, but I Got Lazy (tm). But this year I decided to finish some of those "old but prominent", and started with this one.

The idea behind is that N.team decided to take a lil break and hold a music show on the Islands. Like, zero tricks, just PRETTY LOUD music. Bandicoots came to check if there is something evil goes on, caused a lil disaster, but in the end everyone enjoyed their time.

There was a couple more of scenes between the chars in my mind, but they weren't even sketched, so not gonna bring them up lmao.

Also kinda inspired by metal CB soundtracks remix. I gave Cortex keyboard guitar as he was plaing piano in CotT. Also I don't think he is a singing type xD

Finally I finished the last page of this, I was sitting on this last page for FAR too long 😭 Of course I won't stop on this little "Vacation AU" just yet. It's way too fun making them try to do everyday "human" stuff.
