I didnt enjoy most of my time withRuna & the Chaikuru Legacy.

I also felt that my characters attacks and jumps werent precise.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time kicks ass, though.

But there was one pop in of level I loved back then and still do now.

Plus, the thing chasing you is fast, so you cant stop to figure out where to go.

I love them though.

I cant get enough of them.

I enjoy their sense of danger and how they ask for quick reactions from you.

It also feels like an extra challenge, making you learn the level in a different way.

And I Hope It Doesnt End With Runa

Runas first boss is a giant snake.

You start in a small chamber, avoiding its attacks while hitting its vulnerable tail.

The camera changes, and youre running toward your screen.

One misstep and the snake will eat you, making you restart the whole sequence from the start.

Not only is it an homage to the old Crash Bandicoot days, but it was better designed too.

You discover a new subterranean location and keep going on your adventure.

If this wasnt enough, Runa has a second escape sequence.

I cant recommend Runa & the Chaikuru Legacy in good faith.

Montraluz’s debut title is a horror game that uses liminal spaces as its main scenarios.
