Crash Bandicoot 2

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (PS1, 1997) is a platforming masterpiece that refined the original’s formula with tighter controls, more varied levels (jetpack escapes! polar bear rides!), and the introduction of Warp Rooms for non-linear progression. Crash’s quest to collect crystals (and outwit Cortex’s lies) is packed with challenging-but-fair precision jumps, secret paths, and that iconic boulder chase. A must-play PS1 classic that holds up beautifully.
