Is Crash Bandicoot really that hard?

Crash Bandicoot has gained a reputation for its challenging gameplay. The platform game, known for its precise jumps and tricky obstacles, requires players to have quick reflexes and patience. While some players find the game difficult, others enjoy the challenge it presents. The level of difficulty can vary depending on individual skill levels and experience with similar games. Ultimately, whether Crash Bandicoot is considered "really that hard" is subjective and can vary from player to player.

It depends on how casual you mean by "casual." If you've beaten 3D platformers like Mario Odyssey, Mario 64, or any of the first three Spyro games (presumably from the Reignited Trilogy), then Crash will be noticeably more difficult, but you'll be able to beat the last boss with a bit of effort.
