The developers chose to stay entirely true to the originals without making massive changes to the core gameplay, map design, or UI, and that is definitely a good thing.
Difficulty

39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The great thing about the difficulty is that it transports you back to an era where actually beating a level provided a massive rush of accomplishment.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack can be playful, frantic, mysterious or threatening, but it always sounds unmistakably like Crash Bandicoot.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game also awards the player with running shoes for beating the game, making the slide jump not the fastest method of movement which is probably better for your controller and more fun.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I think Crash works perfectly as a "second game" alongside a larger RPG or story-driven title that you can sink hours into.
