My first crash and it's my favorite. This set is perfect because it is not difficult or easy, and I love it! I hope I don't get angry at platinum time in Crash 3...
9/10 My favorite
Nothing to say that hasn't been said already, banger set, "no fireflies" and Totally Bear time trial are somewhat rough, but nothing Impossible.
I feel... conflicted after mastering this. It's kind of soured my experience with Crash 2 now. Extra runs through levels for relics wasn't ideal for the majority of them, much less the cruel ones. Deathless was annoying for a few levels and the no firefly achievements especially... those two were by far the WORST for this set by a massive margin.
Had a lot of fun with this one. The time trials weren't too difficult or stressful for the most part.
Even the firefly Totally Fly level didn't take me too long, but Darkness of the Unknown took me ages.
All in all great set. I think the firefly ones you're supposed to use the sides, not memorise where to jump for the entire level.
The time trials were a good addition and an enjoyable challenge.

2nd game down! Started this one right after mastering the first, so it took me a good couple hours to remember how important the slide jump is, especially for speedrun achievements. This game takes everything the first did and made it better, as well as taking a lot of the rough edges of the first and sanding them down. Much prefer this nonlinear level structure over the classic linear map. I'm looking forward to playing Crash 3, where they perfected the formula!
[โญFavorite Cheevo - Super Sharp Shooter] Expected this one to be excruciatingly tedious, but the fight isn't nearly as hard as it seems, so take your time and learn the pattern, you can get this one down in a couple minutes of patient shots.
[๐ฅHardest Cheevo - Dark Horse] With constant dashing, most of the speed run cheevos are pretty doable. This one however gives you 2-3 seconds of realistic error, so it's pretty tight. The darkness cheevos were tough too, but those mostly relied on hopping the edges of the level and memory. This takes a lot more timing and skill.
FBernkastelKues, great set, thank you!
