Reissues used to get a lot of backlash as being an excuse to release older games just to get some extra cash due to the lack of exclusives. As of late, re-releases have improved with developers putting their heart and soul to painstakingly recreate a game to look amazing and play with a more modern play style. We went from some extra cash to preserving history.

Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy

Crash isn’t only one of my favorite childhood games of all time, but nearly every PlayStation owners’. N.Sane Trilogy lovingly recreated the entire game from the ground up keeping every little detail in view with great controls and gorgeous visuals, not to mention we get 3 whole games. I have never seen this much effort put into a remaster before.
