PsiloSybil

the crash bandicoot equivalent of the teacher from whiplash

An excruciating battle from start to finish. Every part of this game was made to kill you in some way. Just beating the game was harder than any Crash Bandicoot game ever. That isn't even beginning to consider the torture of getting all of the collectibles. I got two thirds of the mushrooms and gold skulls, but gave up because some levels were just too much. If you are a fan of difficult platformers, then I highly recommend Psilosybil. But do not worry about 100%, it will drive you insane. However I will say that despite the fact that many levels took over an hour just to get the time trial, it was very fun and the rush was almost incomparable.

Why did the mushroom go to the party? Because he wanted a piece of that PsiloSybil. Recommended for fans of shrooms. 3 psilocybins out of 5

This was probably in reference to its difficulty as some did not remember or vibe with the gameplay or haven't encountered such a level design in decades or ever. Despite suffering from issues due to limitations leading to tough sections, these games were never contenders for the title. And after playing this game I'm more certain than ever.

Furthermore, there's the music featuring xylophone, pan flutes here and there among other instruments typical from those games, and that also applies to the sound effects coming from the movement, level a...

as a huge crash fan and when i say huge i mean A REALLY BIG FAN doing pretty much everything across the entire franchise i started playing this thinking to myself "how hard can it be?'' and then i died 75 times when grabbing all the mushrooms on level three. now i know that may sound bad, but even after all these deaths i just couldnt put the controller down. while most crash like games adapt the crash 2 ish gameplay, this one is all about crash 1: taking a simple moveset and utilizing it to the max. this game is hard, you will die, but fair checkpoint placements and great level design will make you not stop playing. every time you finish a level you get an insane amount of accomplishment only to be thrown a greater challenge in your face when you enter the next level. the graphics are really good, they emulate ps1 graphics without looking jarring, and if you dont want the retro filter you have a lot of customization in the settings. the game has a lot of content 26 full levels with ti...
