Review Crash Team Rumble (PS5) - A Pleasant Surprise That Might Not Last Very Long
It's about time... limited rewards
When Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time fans were daydreaming of what would follow the former PlayStation mascot's platforming return, we can't imagine an online multiplayer game with a Battle Pass ranked very high on their wishlist. Fast forward almost three years, though, and Crash Team Rumble makes emotes and...
Review Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time (PS4) - Madcap Marsupial's Return Is N. Sanely Good
Positive spin
Republished on Wednesday 29th June 2022: We're bringing this review back from the archives following the announcement of July's PlayStation Plus lineup. The original text follows.

Skylanders is its flagship, a colourful platforming series with a now gigantic selection of stylised action figures to import into the game...
A pair of 2.5Determined magical hoppers

E3 2016 Crash Bandicoot Makes a Comeback with a Remastered PS4 Trilogy
And yes, he's in Skylanders
If you've read this particular author's Push Square bio under the staff page, you would know that we've been waiting for Crash Bandicoot to return in true form for over a decade. Well, we can say that this dream has been, er, sort of realized. Our favorite marsupial will be gracing the PlayStation 4, but will do so in a...
