The debut of the PlayStation in 1994 led to the arrival of CDs as viable software vessels and helped trigger the war of animal mascots. This is a game made for you to unwind with and is a great pick-up-and-play game in between more time-intensive titles.The '90s were one of the most important eras in gaming. While it won't do anything to challenge the status quo of gaming, no one says it has to. There aren't a ton of games that can make a two-decade jump and remain unscathed, but Spyro Reignited Trilogy does just that. unless the rumors of a remastered Crash Team Racing is real. I can likely survive without too many more remasters of PlayStation one games. 'There aren't a ton of games that can make a two-decade jump and remain unscathed, but Spyro Reignited Trilogy does just that.' Ironically, it is the part of Spyro Reignited Trilogy that feels the most reminiscent of the original PlayStation version.

My larger gripe, performance-wise, is the 10 to 20-second loading screens which work to break up the flow of the game. But those issues are just barely noteworthy. In areas with a lot of assets, you will likely notice some slowdowns and a missed frame or two. While other games like God of War or Red Dead Redemption 2 demand your attention, Spyro Reignited Trilogy only wants you to enjoy yourself.įrom a performance perspective, everything is generally great. In a sense, tracking down gems and dragons eggs feels like dipping into some comfort food. Nothing about the games are necessarily hard, however you never feel like they need to be. The games themselves retain a distinctly Insomniac platformer feel, and that is a good thing! If you've spent some time this generation playing through Ratchet & Clank, you likely understand the sentiment. Spyro Reignited Trilogy only wants you to enjoy yourself.'

The bottom line is that all three games have highlights that make them all worth playing - even if you are just looking for an easy platinum. Every level feels much larger than in the past two games and peppered-in minigames round out the experience.

On the other hand, Spyro: Year of the Dragon is easily the best of the three, offering far more gameplay diversity than the first two games.
