If there's one game this year that could quench your thirst for platforming, look no further than Crash Bandicoot 4: it's time. As the first title in the current generation of the series, the game goes above and beyond to ensure you are entertained for hours. For one thing, there are currently five playable characters, most of which have their own dedicated moves and levels. Some are quite familiar, but others are faces most never expected to see again.

However, players can experience a new rotation mechanic with the character that allows you to send one enemy flying into another. On top of that, Crash can be used on over 100 levels, with some having him skate on ziplines and others requiring him to use an anti-gravity suit.

Whichever choice you choose, you can still use the bigger twists of each main mission like gravity reversal and time slowing down. However, Coco will have her own individual collection of skins to unlock and wear in various challenges.
Dr Neo Cortex

The Evil Scientist could be used in the multiplayer mode of Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced, but will now have its own story and missions in Crash 4. In these missions, players can take advantage of Neo's powerful blaster to transform their enemies. in platforms. Hopefully he won't do the same with Crash.

Of course, Goofy won't move as fast as the others, but his cunning attacks make up for that. With the crocodile, users can either slide their tails or vacuum close to the bad guys. In the State of Play trailer, we see Goofy being sucked into an ominous portal, leaving viewers wondering if Crash and Coco will need to save him.

The last playable character revealed is actually Tawna, someone who has appeared in previous installments as Crash's ex-girlfriend. What sets Tawna apart from the rest is her unique and rapid movement. The newly designed punk rocker will get her own set of missions that will allow her to make the most of her grappling hook attacks and smooth wall jumps.
As Tawna was declared the last playable character announced before the game hit shelves, don't expect this list to grow anytime soon. But, there is already so much to do in Crash 4, it's almost impossible to complain. Developer Toys For Bob will be offering additional DLC for those who pre-order, so more characters added later shouldn't be ruled out just yet.
