    My score is only 9 because there are occasionally lags and make a little crush, and some of the original voices are missing, but overall, this is a fantastic remake of the game from my youth.
    Spyro 3 is the first game I've ever played and seen the remaster that Toys for Bob did for the there game. It is perfect from the unique world and enemies, and wonderful soundtracks.

    A really beautiful and colorful jump n run adventure. Also a good example of how remakes should be. The only bad thing on this game is that it does not run at 60fps, which is important for fluid gameplay especially when playing jump‘n run like games. That’s why I can’t give this game 10 points.

I've played that game to DEATH and back in 2018, when Activision and Toys For Bob announced a remake of the original trilogy, I was hyped, I couldn't wait to re-live my childhood. This game didn't disappoint at all, the graphics are phenomenal, the combat system is just right and I had a blast playing it, so much so that I finished all 3 games at 120%, 100% and 117% each and got all the trophies. The first Spyro (9/10) is a really solid title, all the levels have a different feeling and it's just really fun to pop in and spend 2-3 hours playing it. Spyro 2 (10/10) is the definitive Spyro experience, it might be a nostalgia-related thing but I never got bored playing it and reliving all the levels I played during my childhood had me crying tears of joy. The third game (8/10) however...it's a great game, don't get me wrong, but it could've been so much more. Sure, the levels are fun, the mini bosses are fantastic, but the controls on Sheila, Sgt. Byrd ecc. just feel so clunky and out of place, I had a really hard time playing through all the different Sgt. Byrd sections and Agent 9's aiming and combat system looks like something rushed, but I have to admit that roasting Moneybags at the end of the game was truly satisfying. In conclusion, the Reignited Trilogy is a great title that deserves to be played, I think it's a must have on any system it's supported on and if you want to have fun while playing a great game from the past, this is the game to play.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A lot of fun at the cost of two controllers.

    The Spyro Reignited Trilogy is just what it says: All the three classic Spyro games, remade and packed into one disc.

    I was always fan of the Spyro games and immediately bought this one when it came out. I had fun playing all the games in order, collecting every gem, egg and rescuing all the dragons. Even got so far to collect all the PlayStation trophies the game, which was a hard but fun challenge.

    The first game was easy, and I casually finished it. It was also the game I played the most back in the day, so it was not that hard. It was just as good as I remembered. Great platforming, various levels with unique themes, fun enemies and overall, a wonderful experience.

    However, the second one, Ripto’s Rage! will always be my arch nemesis. As stated in the title of the review, I broke two controllers in pure rage and hatred (yes, I know I have problems), it is still as bad as the original game, no, much worse, I think.

    This can all be linked to one element: Hunter and his bullsh!t. All the mini games, timed stages and “fly trough hoops” challenges to get an orb (which you need) where the worst experience I ever had with a platforming adventure game in my life. They made me so mad that I broke my PS4 controllers and needed to get two new ones. The worst part was the “motivational middle finger” that Hunter gave you when you lost the challenge for the millionth time.

    His smirking, his taunting and “Skater Dude” attitude (“Hey bro, better luck next time haha”), combined with the brutal, unforgivable, criminally hard orb challenges made my life miserable. The time limit is ridiculous, and you need to be a god who can bend time and space to complete everything in the given time. The worst part was to see that ugly smiling face of that disformed excuse of a feline again, when he laughs at you and your whole family, stating he is better than you, and then motivates you to try again. It was pure torture.

    Many times, I thought: “This is just a game, why all the rage,” but then I realized I just wanted to see that stupid furball cry in defeat and shame when I finally beat his ass and drank his tears.

    So, now that that has been clarified, moving on.

    The third game, Year of the Dragon, made me calm down again and the fun and joy were back. No more Hunter and his “Hippie challenges,” now he just wants to get laid with Bianca and create some freak offspring, but that is not my concern. Yes, the “challenges” and mini games are back, but they are way less frustrating and impossible then the second game. Although still hard as bricks, it felt more like the first game in which the challenge was just right, and I enjoyed this sequel like I used to back then.

    The graphical upgrade in the Reignited Trilogy is nice and polished, however the frame rate and stuttering sometimes is terrible. There were moments in which it was almost unplayable, and I played on a PS4 Pro, so it should manage it fine.

    Collecting all the trophies in this game is my second biggest personal achievement in gaming, besides Postal 2 on Postal difficulty. The main tribute for this is, you guessed it, Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage.

    So, in short, I had fun playing the Reignited Trilogy, with the exception of the second game, which I never touch again in my life.

    Still recommend the Remastered Trilogy.    … Expand

    With that out of the way, the game is damn good: it's just how i remembered back at the ps1 with some great controls too, which was something that i hated in crash instead. Controls are tight and you can control your charge even better too, and the hit detection is great too - maybe too great: I can hit enemies before they approach me. Levels are very detailed and the fact they added extra challenges for unlocking stuff is a nice touch. I can't think of anything that the game does wrong right now, because overall it does a great job and I don't even see a point of making a mini review of each game - if anything the first one is a bit blander since it has basically no plot, the second is a vast improvement over the first in gameplay and plot (what little of it) and the third has multiple characters you can play with which is a nice addition.

    My issues are very few: I encountered a bug or two such as invisible enemies and the game lacks a sort of indicator of the missing levels and such which means you can potentially miss a level (like I did). But overall the game is beyond playable and the issues didn't stop me from enjoying the game!

    Overall I highly recommend the game despite the huge issue of the download size: I suppose it's a minor evil to withstand but comparing to other games that are even smaller and require as much memory as this game, I think we can deal with it.

    Without forgetting that it's 3 games and not just one!    … Expand

    A good blast from the past.
    I wouldn't consider them great games by today's standards... but if you have kids or wish to replay some games you loved as a kid. Well then! These are a fantastic way to relive some of those memories. Something worth keeping in your collection if you liked them as much as I did in the past.

    One of those games where you just dont want to think to hard, and just collect gems. Fun to zone out on and just play through. Beautiful art style and catchy music. Some of the mini-games in Spyro 3 were painful to play though.

    En primer lugar, todos los diseños son infantiles rozando el extremo, no es algo puntual sino la norma. No cabe duda de que los poligonos tenían su encanto, pero el rediseño de personajes ha sido excesivo, quitándoles su encanto al infantilizarlos; esto no sucede solo con los personajes principales y secundarios, sino también con los bosses, que por poner ejemplos los de spyro 3 tenían un porte mínimamente amenazante que ahora luce más bien ridículo. Una buena comparativa es lo que hicieron con Drek en la reimaginación de Ratchet and Clank, el problema es el mismo pero elevado al cuadrado.

    En segundo lugar. El doblaje es una maldita tragedia. Voces estereotipicas, sin personalidad, que parece que estén leyendo un guión; y cuando no, nos encontramos con voces forzadas que poco o nadia tiene que ver con el juego original. Es absurdo, ¿si te dejan poner la música original que les cuesta dar la opción de poner el doblaje original?

    En definitiva, les salió bien con crash y han decidido explotar la nostalgia, al menos a mi me ha dejado un mal sabor de boca que deteriora los buenos recuerdos en relación a esta obra.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Firstly I just wanted to point out you can access sunny flight sooner than you should be able too , because in the original games you had to save a dragon so he could tell you about it first. So yeah i found something to nitpick about Lol.

    Big 67Gb hard drive space required is a negative , no option to install each one by itself.

    Certain boxes are harder to glide to due to the textures for example the head bash crate where you need to glide to a green hand in the original the green hand was straighter.

    The gems now can get hidden by grass making some gems possible to miss. (This is a posite accept where your doing the golden goose mini egg as the seed is hard to see (1 bounces ,1 doesn't they should both bounce to indicate there position).

    Gulp achievement requires perfection no hits at all or a very long time to do and its a nightmare cause the boss is much harder and spams the green gun more which hits more often now.

    When escorting a lost dog home to its master you can mess up the puzzle and glitch the dog into the wall meaning you have to reset level.

    Certain hard sections seem harder as corridors seem narrower.

    The super jump is not like remembered, feels slightly faster.

    The fire rate of the submarine should be slightly faster.

    The Twin dragon boss battle is annoying as your gun fires slower than it used too and the targets are smaller.

    No option to inverse flight so up is up and down is down like originals (i tried the camera options they didn't work).

    The whack a mo mini game is harder with the yeti.

    + Positives

    Fully voice cast +
    Nice Dragons on Spyro 1.
    Nice animations
    The new worlds are visually stunning and I like the changes to the beast makers world the most. ++
    Much better visibility in ocean +++.
    Sometimes not being able to see a gym due to grass +
    Nice list of trophies and variance +
    Added details in certain areas (That both hinder or enhance players experience see the green hand further up)

    Spyro was always my favourite platformer/colletathon series, and this enhanced package is everything I could have hoped for.

The graphics are nothing short of stunning, the atmosphere is perfectly captured and gameplay is tweaked ever so slightly for that quality-of-life improvement neglected by the recent Crash remakes. However, by sticking almost too rigidly too its original format, the age of the game style shows a little and playing through all three entries becomes a bit of a slog by the end.

    Spyro the Dragon is the simplest and least showy of the trilogy, and has such a distinct feel about it, with recurring visual flair. The world are a little bit less lively than its sequels but the revamped, unique dragons are one of the best parts of Reignited for me.

    Ripto's Rage is probably the best entry, expanding infinitely on its predecessor in terms of detail, characters and especially world design. While it succeeds in variety, it loses a bit in atmosphere, as the wolds sometimes don't make sense when placed side-by-side, but the wildly inventive challenges far outstrip the lack of consistency. Some trials (ice popcorn and railway cart spring to mind) are absolutely infuriating in this entry, be warned!

    Year of the Dragon is the final entry and is the most gimmicky, allowing you to play as a variety of crazy characters which is great fun but often detracts from the core Spyro mechanics/gameplay loop. Again, it's far more exciting and varied than the original, but by this stage my patience was wearing a bit thin!

    A word of advice - tackle each of the games with a break in between to break up the monotony and stop yourself poking holes in the admittedly solid gameplay loop! This said, these remakes are lovingly crafted and more than make up for the lackluster Crash series last year. Collecting absolutely everything in the game is easier and more satisfying than ever, and you'll net three platinum trophies in no time compared to other games! Alongside Resident Evil 2, remakes are killing it recently!    … Expand

That being said, the remaster really brought these games into the modern age because they look and play absolutely FANTASTIC. I am pretty unforgiving when it comes to camera and controls and I am pleased to say that there's really not that much to complain about here, minus a few exceptions like the hard-to-control dash when you're doing precise platforming or the skateboard trick controls in Spyro 3.

    These games are pretty easy, short, and light on story, which makes them a lot of fun to play in between more demanding titles. Rarely though, there's an insane difficulty spike. One particular boss in Spyro 2 especially comes to mind. This is also an occurence where the controls and camera unfortunately work against, instead of for you.

    Nevertheless, I'd say that overall, Spyro 2 is my favourite out of the bunch. The first one is a little bland and random and seems very "video-gamey" in general. The second game feels much more like an interconnected world; the levels and characters are very inspired, there's a little progression to each of them and unique missions inside; and the overworlds are a lot more atmospheric and intricate. There's now also a use for the tons of gems you collect all the time in the form of unlocking abilities. In the first game, you didn't even really know why you should collect gems, other than to get 100% completion.

    The third game tries to expand upon the second one and to one-up it with more playable characters, skateboarding (did Tony Hawk come out between the second and the third game by any chance?), and other little segments that are seperate from the main levels, but I have to say, while most of these are fun (the last skateboarding level can suck my d**k, though), they feel kind of unnecessary and tacked-on just for the sake of making a BIGGER sequel. Spyro 2 just feels more cohesive and inspired and, if I ever replay one of these games, it's probably going to be the second one. Also, what happened with the Rhynocs in the last world of Spyro 3? That was one of my favourite things about the game up until then, seeing the Rhynocs in different costumes for every level. In the last world, they just disappear for the most part and are replaced by regular enemies. What gives?

    Overall, these games are pure, simple video game fun. If you're looking for an intense challenge or an amazing story, you're going to have to look elsewhere. Spyro also never reaches the intricate platforming genius of the Mario titles. But if you're just looking to have a good, simple time for a few hours, you're absolutely in the right place.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Reignited Trilogy is a fun, delightful collect-a-thon odyssey. Traveling from different realms, and collecting goodies, freeing dragons, saving dragon eggs. 100% the game is just pure fun. Very satisfying, not only that but if you gather all the skill points you unlock the art gallery. Which is great for Spyro 1, but for Spyro 2 and 3. BE WARNED! There's no epilogue of the game which is very miserable and depressing since I kinda wanted to see what the inhabitants are up to. It makes the world even more immersive.

    The biggest downside to this trilogy is the voice direction. Most of it kinda ruins the charm of what makes those levels fun as well the humor is just dried up and gone. Levels such as Zephyr and Colossus for example. The joke of Juliet being played by a dude is long gone. Zephyr back in the old PSONE is the pinnacle of humor. Bo Peep being a dude is still there, but the voice is just off. There's no goofy oomph to the voices anymore. It's tone death and honestly bland. Colossus, I kinda understand why they went with that voice direction but the humor lines the monks talk are just off putting, doesn't really have oomph to make the humor punchline. It doesn't make me laugh, burst out of laughter like I use to anymore. I still chuckle when hearing those lines from time to time though. I just wish they would of fix the voice direction in the next game,

    Other than that, I pretty much love everything there is about the game. Gulp is still a difficult boss and they even buffed Buzz in Spyro 3 Year of the Dragon. The only thing that prevents this game to be any higher are the bugs, glitches, and voice direction.    … Expand

    Spyro Reignited is a breath of fresh air for me, as it not only brings back a beloved game series from many gamers' childhood years, but it also lovingly recreates the Dragon Worlds with the added details that our childhood imaginations previously had to fill in due to the limitations of the Playstation 1's hardware. While not a 100% 1-for-1 recreation, due to the creative liberties takenSpyro Reignited is a breath of fresh air for me, as it not only brings back a beloved game series from many gamers' childhood years, but it also lovingly recreates the Dragon Worlds with the added details that our childhood imaginations previously had to fill in due to the limitations of the Playstation 1's hardware. While not a 100% 1-for-1 recreation, due to the creative liberties taken to make the game look and feel a little more modern, it still feels like you remember if you grew up with these games. If you want to play the games with a more classic approach to the controls, including the non-analog camera controls of the PS1 originals, you can do that via the options menu. Otherwise, the controls feel like they should if they were modernized, with a few interesting tweaks made for comfort. With the Reignited controls, the R2 button now serves as a secondary button for your fire breath, so you only have to focus on X and Square face buttons if you really want. Another interesting change is now all 3 titles have the roll move, which was previously only in the original Spyro the Dragon, accessible with the L1 and R1 buttons. Sadly, this doesn't translate to the hover, and ability that would have made some of the more tricky jumps of the original game a little less teeth grinding, as it remains a part of just Ripto's Rage and Year of the Dragon. It sometimes feels as though the game's gliding physics were made more for the second and third entries, as there are times when the game expects a little too much precision from your glides in the first game. It's nothing game breaking, but it does mean you might fall into death pits in the first game a little more than you would like.

    A lacking element of the game is additional content, as there isn't really anything new in the game. While that may seem like a great thing to the more die-hard OG Spyro fans, it may be off putting to newer fans who expect a little more. There are no unlockable skins, or any content that was previously region exclusive, such as the Dragonfly Eggs from the Japanese versions of Spyro 1 and 2, which required the Pocketstation. It would have been nice to see that content, even if all it did was
    effectively unlock skins for Sparx in those games, they could have unlocked extra skins for both Spyro and Sparx. Unlike Crash's recent N.Sane Trilogy, Spyro lacks an optional secondary playable skin. Of course, there are color changing cheat codes that were carried over from the PS1 games, so you can still play as a red Spyro and pretend it's Flame if you so desire (though do note that there are a few codes that don't work as of present). The only addition you'll find is that now Spyro 1 has Skill Points, though one has to wonder what the point is when the game has Trophy support that serves a similar function.

    The graphics are gorgeous to look at, with the added detail to all of the previously flat, textured environments, and the more easily decipherable enemies that you probably didn't realize what they were meant to be as a child. The added animations to Spyro make him feel more alive, bouncy, and expressive. The added details, such as making each of the Dragons (barring two) look visibly distinctive from one another really adds more character to the universe that the series lives in. There are a few design decisions, in terms of the graphics, that you may find questionable if you're super familiar with the originals, but otherwise it's a huge step up from the extremely dated (if still charming) PS1 graphics.

    Voice acting wise, the game is more dynamic than the originals, with Tom Kenny adding a youthful playfulness to the character he first voiced nearly 20 years ago. Some may miss the old voices, and some of the line delivery doesn't land as well as the original (a personal example being Agent 9's deliver of the lines he says when you enter his level lacking a little bit of the craziness of the original voice's delivery), but for the most part, all of the voices feel like they suit the characters well.

    In terms of other audio, some may find the absence of some sound effects to be a little disheartening, but the new sounds work well.

    Musically, the game has two soundtracks, so if you want to hear the new versions of the songs made for this trilogy, you can do just that. Or, if you're feeling like the game needs an extra touch of nostalgia to scratch that Stuart Copeland itch, fear not, the original soundtrack can be toggled on in the options menu. All of the Reignited versions of the songs are great, and suit the environments well enough, but the option is nice.

    All that said, the game has some glitches. I personally had an enemy in one of the Magic Crafters worlds of the first game be invisible, but that was the extent of anything serious. There is some slowdown to expect if you restart areas a lot, but just restart the game and you'll be fine.

    Overall, I'm super happy with this remaster, despite it's flaws. 8.5/10    … Expand

    For context, I have no real nostalgia to the Spyro series outside of a ten minute test run, but I still relatively enjoyed each game.

The graphics are complete eye candy, capturing what might be the original vision of what the games were supposed to look like back then. The ability to switch between the old soundtrack from the PS1 era to the remastered one is a no brainer, but welcomed.
    If I were to fault this compilation in one or two aspects, it'd be the motion blur that cannot be turned off and the fps being locked at 30. Other than that, I can definitely recommend this compilation to anyone, whether they're a new player or a veteran.    … Expand

    Not a perfect remake, but you can tell that the developers really cared about this franchise. I think the only thing keeping this from being a perfect remaster was time. It seems like Activision may have been rushing the developers to get this out.

    Like the N-Sane trilogy, this game does a good job recreating the originals, but it suffers due to it's datedness. I prefer it to the N-Sane trilogy though, as I prefer Spyro's playstyle.

    Este remake de Spyro es fabuloso, Toys For Bob ha hecho un trabajo esplendido con este remake. Si tengo que decir la verdad, siempre he preferido Crash Bandicoot sobre Spyro, ya que cuenta con mejores controles, gráficos y una jugabilidad mas frenética y pulida, por lo que era obvio que este remake me gustaría menos que el N Sane Trilogy, sin embargo, objetivamente hablando puedo decir queEste remake de Spyro es fabuloso, Toys For Bob ha hecho un trabajo esplendido con este remake. Si tengo que decir la verdad, siempre he preferido Crash Bandicoot sobre Spyro, ya que cuenta con mejores controles, gráficos y una jugabilidad mas frenética y pulida, por lo que era obvio que este remake me gustaría menos que el N Sane Trilogy, sin embargo, objetivamente hablando puedo decir que ambos están a la par y que no tienen nada que envidiarse el uno al otro, ya que Spyro Reignited Trilogy cuenta con la posibilidad de escuchar la banda sonora original (cosa que el N Sane no tiene), y un estilo artístico increíble. Se da muchísimas mas libertades a diferencia del Crash que si jugaste al original, reconocerás todo el mapeado, enemigos, etc. a la primera. Ademas cuenta con la opción para poner el mapa en los 3 juegos, cosa que considero un gran acierto! Ya que no se porque en el original habían quitado el mapa en la tercera entrega y eso lo considere un punto negativo, pero en el remake lo han solucionado. Aunque algunos de los fallos del original siguen estando.... Ciertas misiones blandas, aburridas y parecidas entre si, navegación algo confusa, etc. No es como con el N Sane Trilogy que hicieron arreglos a nivel general como el incluir el modo contrarreloj en los 3 juegos, arreglar el sistema de guardado y la manera de obtener la gema en el primer juego, tener contador de cajas en el primer y segundo juego, las rondas bonus en la primera entrega, etc. Lo único que se nota que arreglaron como ya dije es el mapa y es algo que tendría que haber estado en los originales desde el principio. Al menos, como ya dije, Spyro Trilogy es un gran trabajo de remake, al igual que con otros remake, recomiendo jugar también al original, ya que ambos estilos artísticos te ofrecerán diferentes apreciaciones del entorno y experiencias. Puedo decir sin duda alguna que Spyro Reignited Trilogy es una de mis remasterizaciones/remake favoritas. Totalmente recomendado para los que jugaron al original como para los que no.… Expand

    Spyro Reignited Trilogy is maybe the greatest celebration of a classic - ever! Gameplay still holds up, graphics are beyond gorgeous and nostalgia hits you hard, yet it feels like a first time experience. Unlike some old-school odysseys that promise warm nostalgia, reignited trilogy delivers burning hot blast from the past - for the future!

    Reignited Trilogy looks like a Pixar movie and proves that while many other genres have changed significantly over the last 20 years, the recipe for an enjoyable platformer stayed the same, at least in many aspects. Of course nowadays people expect more from any game and Spyro does feel archaic but its wise design stood the test of time, especially if you look at the remake through the eyes of a child (either literally or metaphorically).

    An excellent choice for the upcoming Christmas holiday in the family circle. Spyro is a playful and appealing rebel who will be loved by old fans and their children as well. [Issue#291]
