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

The soundtrack can be playful, frantic, mysterious or threatening, but it always sounds unmistakably like Crash Bandicoot.

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.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It runs amazing on the Steam Deck, and Vicarious Visions deserves major credit for the care and improvements put into this trilogy.
