As it turns out de-crystallizing a dragon is as simple as walking up to it, which is good seeing as Spyro isn’t old enough to have learned any kind of magic. This is the Spyro you remember and it’s a rare game (or set of games in this case) that holds up to being viewed without nostalgia-goggles.Īs for the longer version, Spyro is a little dragon who escaped being crystallized when Gnasty Gnorc took offense to being called ugly by one of the Dragon Clan elders. Everything made the transition to 2018 intact, the bulk of it looking better than it’s got any right to. Everything else necessary was already there: fun characters, creative level design, solid controls, a nice variety of challenges that put Spyro’s abilities to a constant test, and an imaginative world to house it all.

The only thing necessary to translate these games from the late 90s to today was a good art update and analog stick camera controls, both of which are in place. Short version- Are you a long-time Spyro fan? Looking for a combined concentrated dose of nostalgia and quality mascot platforming? Spyro Reignited Trilogy has you covered. Spyro Reignited Trilogy gives the little purple dragon his due, completely reconstructing Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage, and Spyro: Year of the Dragon with care and attention that in many ways goes above and beyond even the most optimistic expectations. As of right now it’s a little over twenty years since Spyro the Dragon came out and that means it’s well past time for a remaster.

A few attempts were made to bring the series back but nothing ever took off, and eventually Spyro was left behind. The original Spyro trilogy sold consistently well through the lifespan of the PS1 and even long after the system was relegated to a neglected shelf or two at your local retailer, creating a generation of fans with fond memories of a favorite childhood series. Two more games followed with a year between each and then Insomniac went on to do other things. Spyro the Dragon came out three years after Super Mario 64 had pointed the way forward for the mascot platformer, and while it missed a few tricks that are genre-standard nowadays the base game was a ton of fun. 3D game design was finally getting nailed down, but even so developers’ ambitions were almost always greater than the available tech would allow. The late 90s/early 2000s were a weird time for gaming.
