I owe some of you an apology. Crash bandicoot 3 warped is actually an incredible platformer. That said it will take a lot to convince me that the original isn’t the spawn of satan due to its difficulty and precision required ;)

The crash trilogy is a story of improvement in every entry. the first game is the roughest of the 3 for sure. And then it ended with the kart racer that, at the time, was probably better than mario kart for quite a while.
Crash 1 is a nice tech demo that aged badly, 2 is my favorite and 3 is more of the same with gimmicks that may or may not land for you. A lot of PS1 trilogies are like that btw: Spyro, Tomb Raider come to mind.
If you loved 3, I'd be super interested about what you think of 2!
Crash 1 came about in an era where the rules of 3D platformers weren’t yet defined, and it very much suffers from that situation. The camera angle alone renders many of the jumping challenges “annoying”.
Of that entire era, only Mario 64 happened to land on the right formula.
