Scattered throughout the levels are a wide variety of crates serving different functions. They can also grind on, hang off and hop across rails, as well as run along designated walls. Crash and Coco's basic maneuvers include jumping and double jumping, a spinning attack, crawling, sliding, and slamming onto the ground. The gameplay takes place from a third-person perspective, with some sections involving the player character running toward the camera or moving in a side-scrolling fashion. Neither the game's difficulty nor reward progress is affected by the differing play styles. If the player's last life is lost, the level will be restarted from the beginning. In the other play style, "Retro", the player is given a limited number of lives (represented by a floating head of the character currently in play), of which more can be collected within the levels. The default play style is "Modern", in which the player will always return to the latest checkpoint when the player character dies. The game can be played in two different styles, which can be selected before the start of a new game and can be switched at any time in the options menu. From this map, the player can switch between controlling Crash or Coco at any time. The game's levels take place and progress along a linear map that is divided into ten "Dimensions", each with their own theme. Ika-Ika, one of the four Quantum Masks, allows Crash (or his sister Coco) to reverse gravity and walk upon a level's ceiling.Ĭrash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is a platform game in which the player primarily controls either the titular character Crash or his sister Coco, who are tasked with saving the multiverse from domination by Doctors Neo Cortex and Nefarious Tropy. Commercially, the game had the highest first-month earnings for a contemporary Crash Bandicoot title, topped sales charts in some territories, and was nominated for four awards. The physics, level design, and difficulty drew mixed reactions, and the rail-grinding sections were criticized. The controls, amount of content and replay value, visuals, music, voice-acting, and story were also commended. The game was met with a positive critical reception, with praise going to the preservation and refinement of the series' classic formula as well as the implementation of the new gameplay mechanics. The development team intended for the game to be a direct continuation from the original trilogy in both narrative and gameplay, and created the Quantum Masks and additional playable characters after studying the series' mechanics and determining fresh elements to add to the gameplay. It also includes additional game modes for replaying levels, and the ability to control five characters, three of whom – Cortex, Dingodile, and Tawna – have their own unique gameplay and levels. The game retains the series' core platforming gameplay, and adds new elements through the use of the Quantum Masks, who can alter levels and provide means to traverse or overcome obstacles. They are indirectly aided by their former enemy Dingodile and an adventuring alternate-dimension counterpart of Crash's old girlfriend Tawna. The game's story follows Crash Bandicoot and his sister Coco as they recover the all-powerful Quantum Masks in a bid to prevent Doctor Neo Cortex and Doctor Nefarious Tropy from taking over the multiverse. The game is the eighth main installment in the Crash Bandicoot series and a retcon of the games that originally followed Crash Bandicoot: Warped. It was originally released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with releases for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, Nintendo Switch, and Microsoft Windows following in 2021. Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is a 2020 platform game developed by Toys for Bob and published by Activision.
