REmake of the original or reboot?
Since the other title is called round 2 i'm wondering if it's a reboot of round1. cheers

Ok. Does it make sense playthrough wise to start this 1 before round 2?

OK cheers

1 is way harder on easy even. 2 / challengers is great, 3 is meh unless you speak polish. bad english translation and unfinished imo with a gamebreaking part that requires a sort of glitch to advance the story (cyber race). this is great. simple but sort of has a ratchet and clank or Taz feel. I approve as a platformer fanatic. Best for kids probably but still fun as an adult imo\

and only relations really are deep lore or recurring characters that are nice to see. don't worry about order. though if you like this and tolerate older engine games esp 1 go for it. 2 holds up great

Will do. Ye older titles, if aged well, dont bother me at all. In some cases they are better than some stuff that releases nowadays. Got kind of a crash vibe from this title was intrigued. That sucks about the 3rd title. WIll prolly start with 2 then since i have it on steam already. Did you try out the trilogy on GOG by any chance? Are those remaining 2 not buggy on newer OS?

yes i did trilogy on gog and played pengwinek kelvin too (only for completionists).. have the gba game for next lmao. gog patched them and i dont remember big issues. 1 was a little frustrating difficult to me imo but i love every game in the series for some reason. If you don't know about challengers, id play that on pc (wont say exactly how, i assume u know). use your legally obtained iso of kao challengers and jack up the resolution settings and tweak it a little for the best experience. Though trilogy felt ok, you do miss the 4? halloween themed levels exclusive to kao challengers (psp port of 2).

feel free to as anything, i just recently got into this after growing up with crash and spyro as a kid and recently playing taz 1-4. Happy to help people experience the best way possible if they care to.

also 3 is playable. i found one mention of the game breakiing glitch online and could explain it if needed, passable but sketchy. cool environment and worth playing despite the clearly unfinished sections (just mostly untranslated or mistaken dialogue) cant remember gameplay issues other than the impossible afaik race
Same with crash. Played through them on PS and that made me check out more similar titles. Is the steam version of part 2 the same as the optimized version on GOG?
Then part 1 will be a fun challenge, as I love difficulty. Will check it out.

i believe it is the same, or close enough. i haven't read otherwise. Don't take my word as gospel
hehe. Round 2 seems to play well so im ok with this version. It does stay an appealing art style the Banjo-like environments

i loved it. replayed challengers because i didn't want to miss the extra halloween levels
Ye cheers for the tip. Will definitely check that 1 out when i get the trilogy.
I'll give you an add. Seems like we're into the same platformy style.
