To stop them, Crash and his sister Coco must travel through various dimensions, collecting four powerful Quantum Masks. These masks grant special abilities that alter the gameplay loop. The story is presented with a charming, hand-drawn art style during cutscenes, blending humor with genuine stakes. The writing captures the spirit of the 90s classics perfectly—silly, chaotic, and nostalgic.
Yet, the game is not without its flaws—a discussion essential to any balanced essay. It’s About Time suffers from what fans have called “completionist cruelty.” To achieve 100% or the infamous 106%, players must not only finish every level without dying but also find hidden gems, perfect every time trial, and complete inverted versions of each stage. The difficulty curve spikes dramatically, especially in the final “Toxic Tunnels” and “Cortex Castle” levels, where a single mistake sends you back to a checkpoint miles behind. For the casual player who remembers the original trilogy as a fun but tough romp, this new entry can feel punishingly unfair. The PC version’s generous checkpoint system alleviates this slightly, but the core design choice prioritizes hardcore veterans over a wider audience.
For the first time in a mainline entry, you can play as characters with unique mechanics, including Doctor Neo Cortex (using his raygun), Dingodile (equipped with a vacuum gun), and an alternate-dimension Tawna (master of the hook shot and wall jumping).
