The next big step for Crash Bandicoot that never was. It breaks my heart that this is really only a fraction of the full game we would've gotten. It honestly plays out more like a beta than a full game. Despite that, I still find this to be a really good game for how short and incomplete it is. Sure, the story feels like it's rushing itself and coming up with things on the fly, but I don't care. This still holds some of Crash's best moments period. And I patiently await the day where this game will get a second chance to become the fully realized vision it was always meant to be.
