Truly, games like this are why we come running back to long-dormant franchises with open arms.&#8220;<\/p>\n    <a href='https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/reviews\/crash-bandicoot-4-review-platformers-delight\/1900-6417574\/' class=small target='_blank'>the full review<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-lazyblock-press lazyblock-press-16scxF\"><div>\n    <p><strong>GameInformer: Score 8.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n    <p class=\"small\">&#8222;In many ways, Crash Bandicoot 4: It\u2019s About Time feels like a game that shouldn\u2019t work. Single-player, mascot-driven, hardcore platformers are few and far between these days. Moreover, most franchises born in the mid-\u201890s have had to continually reboot themselves to match the tastes of an ever-changing market. At its core, Crash 4 remains rooted to the old way of doing things, but that\u2019s not a bad thing. The visuals are cleaner now and Crash has a few new gimmicks, but if you squint, Crash 4 looks like the same old platformer you\u2019ve always loved.&#8220;<\/p>\n    <a href='https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/index.php\/review\/crash-bandicoot-4-its-about-time\/crash-bandicoot-4-its-about-time-review-precision' class=small target='_blank'>the full review<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-lazyblock-press lazyblock-press-Zcp8jq\"><div>\n    <p><strong>FORBES<\/strong><\/p>\n    <p class=\"small\">Mair\u2019s score uses a ridiculous range of organic and electronic sounds, deriving its unique audio from \u201ctons of vintage and analogue effects\u201d, \u201cmodular synths\u201d and, er, seashells.<\/p>\n    <a href='https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/mattgardner1\/2020\/07\/29\/call-of-duty-and-grand-theft-auto-composer-confirmed-for-crash-bandicoot-4-score\/#6374d81e7ad5' class=small target='_blank'>the full review<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Developer Toys For Bob Publisher Activision Music by Walter Mair Soundtrack The soundtrack was released by Toys For Bob and Activision and can be streamed on Youtube: https:\/\/youtu.be\/s7gd6AxaOTM Exclusive new behind the scenes video to get a feel for what it was like to write the music.
