Is it still worth playing?

The third Crash Bandicoot, remade in 2017 for the PlayStation 4 as part of the N. Sane Trilogy, which rebuilt the 1998 levels with new graphics, music and voices. Crash and Coco Bandicoot travel through time to gather 25 crystals before Doctor Neo Cortex and Uka Uka can. The hub is the Time-Twisting Machine, five chambers with five buttons each that open portals to levels, and only the first chamber is open at the start. Each level hides a crystal, at the end of the path or behind a specific challenge, and finishing a chamber's five levels opens a boss. Time trials began in this game, and the remake adds online leaderboards for them, along with a new level, Future Tense. Choosing the next level from a room of portals and racing your own times still makes every stage worth another run.
