Do you think Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time lived up to the legacy of the originals?

Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time arrived with new masks, levels, and time-bending mechanics but did it capture the magic of the ‘90s classics? On one hand, the visuals pop and the levels innovate; on the other, some feel the core platforming intensity shifted. How did the expanded move set, N. Vert levels, and cooperative challenges compare to the trilogy’s tight pacing? Did those Quantum Masks feel like a fresh evolution or a gimmick?
