Friday marked the return of 90s gaming staple Crash Bandicoot on PS4 in the form of the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. After years of waiting for the spinning bandicoot to return, people couldn’t wait to take a wander down memory lane to the Wumpa Islands and play the remastered games.

People have been particularly impressed with how loyal to the original games the developers kept the trilogy, with the team using new dialogue recorded voice actors from other installments in the franchise, and staying true to the original plots.
I humbly kneel to Vicarious Visions. They did absolutely everything I hoped and wished for this game.#CrashBandicootNSaneTrilogy

And with the game returning, people are coming together to play and reminisce.

However, nobody seems to remember the games being this difficult when they played them as a kid.

And nobody seems to be able to beat the Native Fortress.
Native Fotress in Crash Bandicoot was hard when I was 7.
I am now 20 and I think it's harder.

And it’s not just the old hands struggling; newbies to the game can’t seem to master it either:
Played Crash Bandicoot for the first time ever in my life today. This shit is hard!

There are a rare few who aren’t convinced it’s got harder, maintaining it’s always been pretty damn difficult.
#CrashBandicoot Everyone saying it felt easier as kid. Easy my ass, i never got off the first island as a kid

But however frustrating the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy can be, you can’t deny it’s good to have Crash back.
