'Spyro Reignited Trilogy (2018)' is a ground-up reimagining of the first three 'Spyro' games. It's very faithful to those PS1 titles, recreating their colourful worlds and quirky characters with slick, stylised models and springy, cartoon-esque animation. The game doesn't feel dated at all, which is a testament to the excellent design of the twenty-year-old originals, and it will certainly please fans of the series. It's a lot of fun, with a variety of levels and plenty of stuff to collect. The game isn't massively challenging but it isn't too easy, either; it's perfect for all the family. The piece does lack some accessibility options - such as subtitles - that ought to be mandatory. It also doesn't allow for control remapping or let you invert the analogue stick input for its flying segments. For an able-bodied person with good hearing (or a quiet place to play), these things might not be a problem. For many, though, they'll be game-breaking. For as enjoyable as the piece is, it isn't all that deep. However, it's an easy-going experience that truly is entertaining, which is the most important thing of all. The subtle differences between the three games included here are also interesting to see. They're all of a similar quality, but take slightly alternate approaches to quest design and feature an increasing number of mini-games. If you like the three original 'Spyro' titles, you're sure to like this. If you've never played them, this is a great place to start. 8/10.

Nearly any comment regarding the Spyro games is guaranteed to include the words "My childhood."
A timeless classic, a hat-trick from the PlayStation 1, now rebuilt from scratch two decades later. All the old characters are here, all the platinum-standard themes, all the gorgeous scenery, a reminder of why the originals were a holy trinity among platformers.
There have been some changes, some better, some worse, but it never hampered my experience, I guess the old games are just so close to me that I could look past them, a few blemishes on a polished glass can be abided.
If this trilogy gets a worthy sequel to override the tragic slip-up that was Enter the Dragonfly, then this series has earned it, as have us fans.

Spyro Reignited Trilogy is more than just an HD remake - it breathes new life into a beloved classic while staying true to the spirit of the original. The familiar worlds return, bursting with vibrant colors, dragon lore, and... nostalgia? And even if you're meeting Spyro for the very first time, boredom is the last thing you'll feel.
For us, it was a special gaming moment. My husband has known Spyro since the early PlayStation days, while I was discovering him for the first time. And surprisingly, we were both hooked. We even found ourselves struggling with the same moments - and sharing the same frustration: "You can't get past this part either?!" Visually, all three games look fantastic. Everything is crafted with care and passion. The colors are rich but never overwhelming, and the characters and enemies feel alive - like they stepped right out of a high-quality animated movie. You can really tell the artists put their hearts into it.
The music is pleasant and fits the atmosphere perfectly. You can even switch between the original and remastered soundtracks - we tried both and liked them equally.
The gameplay is relaxing and fun - run, jump, set things on fire, and enjoy yourself. The only downside is the camera, which can be a bit tricky at times, especially in flying sections. Underwater levels are annoying too - as expected. But overall, it's smooth sailing.
To make sure we don't miss a thing, let's take a closer look at each of the three games individually.
Spyro the Dragon: The first game in the trilogy is the simplest - and at times, it feels a little primitive. The levels are visually appealing, but structurally repetitive. Most of the time, you're doing the same things: fighting similar enemies, repeating the same actions (since there are no new abilities to shake things up), and chasing the same goal - rescuing dragons, without many twists to keep it fresh.
It starts to feel like walking through the same house over and over, just with different wallpaper in each room.
The game is divided into six worlds, each with several levels. Even in the hub areas, enemies appear before you can reach the portals - and when you return from a level, they respawn. Over time, this gets frustrating and starts to feel like a way to artificially stretch out the gameplay.
There are also no visual indicators near the portals to show which levels you've completed - a small detail, but one that interrupts the flow and forces you to keep checking the menu.
By the midpoint, fatigue starts to set in - not because the game is hard, but because of the monotony. Technically, you don't need to complete everything 100%, but progress often depends on the number of rescued dragons. Eventually, you stop exploring and just grind out what's necessary.
The boss fights are a letdown too. There's rarely an actual fight - usually, it's just: chase, flame, repeat. They feel more like short cutscenes than exciting battles, and they miss the mark when it comes to creating epic moments.
Overall, Spyro the Dragon is a decent game for a one-time playthrough, and it's totally fine if you decide to put it down for a bit. But don't judge the whole trilogy by the first game. The first game in the series doesn't fully reveal Spyro's potential, but he's still every bit as awesome a character as Crash Bandicoot - and he truly comes into his own in the second and third games.
Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!: This is where the trilogy really comes to life. After the slow and sleepy pace of the first game, the second feels like a strong cup of coffee - more dynamic, colorful, and full of personality. This time, there's a real story, new characters, and a stronger sense of adventure. You're no longer just rescuing dragons - you're on a journey.
The narrative is richer, and the new characters bring genuine charm, creating a cozy, lived-in world. While the first game leaned heavily on repetition, here the gameplay becomes more varied and engaging.
Each level has its own unique enemies and quirky backstory, giving the whole game a refreshing sense of variety. You really feel like you're entering a new world every time. And it's packed with mini-games and side quests - none of which feel like filler. You don't have to complete them all, but chances are, you'll want to. It's definitely one of those "Okay, just one more round, then I'll sleep" kind of games. Even at 2:47 AM.
The introduction of new abilities you can buy adds even more depth. These upgrades let you revisit earlier levels and access previously unreachable areas, making exploration more rewarding.
And finally, the boss fights - they're actual fights this time. Simple? Sure. But fun.
Overall, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! Is a huge step up. It keeps your attention, avoids repetitive grinding, and constantly surprises you with new things to do. If the first game left you underwhelmed, this one will more than make up for it.
Spyro: Year of the Dragon: The third installment wraps up the trilogy boldly and confidently - from the very start, it's clear the developers reached their peak form. If the first game felt a bit slow, and the second was lively and varied, the third adds even more by introducing new playable characters, each with their own unique mechanics.
The variety of mini-games is also impressive - they've become bolder and clearly stand out from the usual gameplay. At one point, Spyro suddenly turns into a skateboarder, performing tricks much like in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. In another, he pilots a water scooter, battling a shark-shaped submarine. In some levels, you even play as different characters: a kangaroo, a rocket-equipped penguin, a yeti with a club, or a monkey with a laser. The diversity is striking - it adds excitement and keeps the gameplay fresh.
Otherwise, it's the same great game as the second installment, only richer and more multifaceted. It's hard to say which one we liked better - both have their own merits. But as the trilogy's finale, Year of the Dragon feels confident, fresh, and genuinely festive. A perfect ending to one of the warmest platformer series out there.
All in all, this collection is a real treat - both for longtime fans and for those discovering Spyro for the first time. 8/10.

Everything about this game is how a remake should be done. It's nostalgic. The graphics are outstanding. It stays true to the original games. By far this was amazing experience playing these games in a updated look.

I had a lot of fun playing this trilogy I even collected all the trophies for all three games, it can be frustrating at times but I do believe that this is way better than Crash Bandicoot N. Same Trilogy, overall I highly recommend this game for everyone to enjoy!!!

SPYRO REIGNITED TRILOGY (2018) is a great remastered version of the Spyro trilogy. Spyro was always a fun game series to play as a kid and still is pretty fun to play as an adult. Super glad I picked this up.
"Spyro's back and he's all scaled up. Same sick burns, same smoldering attitude, now all scaled up in stunning HD. Spyro is bringing the heat like never before in the Spyro Reignited Trilogy game collection."
Overall, this remastered version is visually great. The graphics are updated, striking and vibrant. The game style is nostalgically the same as the originals, maybe a few rweaks, give or take. The world of the dragons is now freshened for the modern consoles and new generation of players.

This game is so boring, I can see why people like this game, and I haven't played it all 100% but I have a firm grasp on what it's like. As
The game is polished to a tee, except from some inconveniences, like sgt Byrd's controls were consistently frustrating, and sprinting really quickly and flying was hard imo. But the game has a very nice art style, it reminds me of the cartoons I used to watch when I was a little kid, and if I told myself from the future that games would look this good? It would blow my mind, a living breathing cartoon. And I think this was in the original but the tutorials are so annoying, the tutorials in this game are more obnoxious than the last guardian.
But I just couldn't get through because I was so bored, but why is it so boring if it's gotten good reviews and clearly tons of people enjoy it? I think I've finally found out.
This is my conclusion, I don't think the mix between Hardcore gamer and casual gamer don't mix well, especially when it's a game about collecting things so I don't recommend this game for people who like games like call of duty.
But I do recommend people who like casual games, the original spyro, casual platformer to play this, and If there's any parents reading this review, GET YOUR KIDS THIS, they will ADORE this game!

This is very very bad game! My son was playing this stupid game and i wasn't never heard him curse before :D today he cursed, because this stupid game. He was very angry and i wasn't never saw him like he was today. I asked him, whats wrong and he told me that this game is very bad and he asked me for try and i tried and i have to say too, that this game is very bad. I don't recommend this anybody. Some missions was pretty hard, even though this game is for kids and sometimes you didn't know where to go or what to do.. that was pretty annoying too. I won't never ever buy this creators games! Games means to be good and fun to play. This game was not!! This game ruined our friday evening. 0/10.
