Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a faithful recreation of the PS1 classics. If you're a long-time fan, it's definitely worth a buy.

The first game gets things off to a good start by redesigning the dragons to match their worlds (Artisan, Magic Crafter, etc…) but that's the only real deviation from the original games and that set me up for disappointment. The new visuals are nice though there are times where it interferes with gameplay. Gulp's boss fight for example it's a lot harder to see where his attacks are going to land. The camera was also a hassle during these battles. I ended up changing the camera to passive mode. It didn't solve the issue, but it reduced the amount of times I had to wrestle the camera around so I could see. Having the gem locator available from the start is great, but I wish the game told you about it. The same with the Atlas, I loved being able to fast travel between worlds. My ideal game would have had had number 2's intro and outro cinematics for each game, it would have been a great opportunity to do some worldbuilding, but at the very least I would have liked consistency between 2 and 3's flight controls (they invert for some reason and you can't change it). I would give the game as itself a 3 but it lost a star for not including the whole of the games on the disc. I honestly don't understand why they felt it was necessary to make us download levels

One of Sony Interactive Entertainment's signature mascots was born anew with the release of 2017's Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy . Given the success of that release, it's unsurprising that publisher Activision would once again go back to the well, this time recruiting developer Toys for Bob to give...

After years spent headlining the Skylanders franchise, diminutive dragon Spyro is back in his own games. Way back, in fact, with this glossed up remaster of the trio of platformers that graced the original PlayStation.

In the tradition of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, another blast from the PS1's past is remade with state-of-the-art modern graphics.

Fantastic remakes, with lovingly updated graphics and music; The second and third games are very competent, with generally good level design; Tons of content and great value for money

None of the original games were ever really classics, and the first in particular is very shallow and repetitive; Uneven difficulty level and playing each game back-to-back gets tiresome

A consistent triple whammy of 3D collectathon platforming remade with extreme care and faithfulness to the original material. Spyro Reignited Trilogy plays well, looks fantastic, and is rarely an overwhelming or difficult set of adventures, with small worlds that are simple to conquer and ideal for...

Chris goes on a sheep burning adventure with everyone's favourite purple dragon.

Beautiful presentation and stellar performance; Spyro is just as endearing now as he was almost 20 years ago; A very faithful recreation of the classic Spyro experience

Very simple mechanically, with shallow game play, and two-dimensional characters; Lack of differentiation between titles

Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon were almost inseparable during the PS1 era. And since Crash had his nostalgia-ridden remastered trilogy , that means Spyro is basically entitled to one as well.

Superb visuals that translate the colorful PS1 aesthetic well; Controls well and feels modern in most respects; Three full games in one package is a great value; Exceptional classic soundtrack and decent remixes

Gameplay can be a tad simplistic at times and overly reliant on minigames; Tags

Buy Spyro Reignited Trilogy The PlayStation One era introduced many classics, but it was an awkward transitional time. Early 3D graphics, the early change from digital to analog sticks, and countless other small but significant changes mean that a lot of classic games are difficult to revisit.

If you enjoy collectibles, or just want a simple-yet-detailed game to run, jump, and glide your way through, then you'll not be disappointed with Spyro: Reignited Trilogy . The games and their level design definitely hold up in 2018, with plenty of content and charm to keep you coming back.
