Crash 1 has unfortunately, even on the N. Sane Trilogy, aged like milk. The 3D that was once such a selling point is now one of the primary things holding it back. There's so much about Crash 1 that just feels... bad. Depth perception and hitboxes feel off. The few instances where the player has to run toward the camera feel like terrible choices with the benefit of hindsight. Boss fights are either very easy or frustrating for the wrong reasons. This game is halfway between 2D and 3D in the worst way possible, and some of the level design (The High Road) just feels absurd.
