Pros:
- Matches are frenetic and fun.
- Platforming feels on point.
- Different classes provide different gameplay options for each player.
- No lag during online matches.
Cons:
- No offline co-op play.
- Initial connection to servers when starting the game takes longer than expected.
- Games can sometimes devolve into chaos in an unfun way,
- Not enough map variety.
- Matches can become boring doing the same thing each time.
In Summary
I am left feeling two minds regarding CTR. On one hand, it’s a great way to spend an hour playing a few games. On the other it feels like a half-cocked game that is missing an offline mode. I get it, the game was meant to be online, but when has a Crash game previously not had an offline mode? This game could have been a great alternative to something like Mario Party, instead its a game that likely won’t have a player base long-term, and will likely have it servers shut down in a year.
