'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.

Reignited Happiness.

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.

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!!!
My childhood has made a return.

The most boring game I've ever played... but...
camwilcox30 April 2020
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!
