TFB are fine, Crash 4 is easily the best game in series to just play and finish. Unfortunately they went a bit too insane with requirements to 100% it, which massively hurt game since no one plays Crash to just finish it, you play to get every box in every level.
If Crash 4 removed the N.verted mirror levels, and removed the top 2% of asshole hidden boxes, it would be nearly perfect. There’s argument for making the time trials require Gold instead of Platnium for 106%, and to make the N.Sanely Perfrct relics not count for % either. But those are pure skill issues. Anyone can overcome them with practice. But the mirror levels are pure padding tedium, which is crazy in what’s already by far biggest game in franchise. And the assjole box placement IN EVERY LEVEL actively ruins people’s enjoyment of first playthrough because they get so demotivated by constantly being 1-5 boxes short that they stop even trying to get all boxes and start ignoring most of the level design. Having assjole box placemat once in a while is good, everyone remembers that off-screen box in Cold Hard Crash. But when you pull that shit every single level, it stops being cheeky and starts just being bad.
Though I am scared they would massively over correct for a Crash 5, and make it super simple easy game for babies difficult because of all the feedback from Crash 4. Crash 4 was like 95% perfect, but they made some big fucking mistakes that tarnish whole game.
