The presentation has been given a massive overhaul, they have completely remade the graphics and it looks absolutely beautiful. However in the Reignited Trilogy his speed has been increased and making turns when you charge feels natural and fluid, as well as combat being satisfying as you burn enemy’s backsides with Spyro’s fire breath.
Spyro on the original PlayStation feels incredibly stiff and slow, it’s like he is made of concrete. Plus this is somewhere you can get to grips with the controls, and Toys for Bob have greatly improved Spyro’s movement. In each game you have a hub world to explore with several levels within, there are anywhere between 4-6 hub worlds which have their own set of challenges and collectables. For instance, you could see a distant glimmer of a gem, or you hear a dragon growing trying to get out of its crystallised prison. The reason why these tasks don’t feel like a slog is because all the collectables are very close together, I never found myself wondering aimlessly because there is always a visual or audio cue where an item is. However unlike those games, the task of collecting things does not feel like a chore, I want to seek out every gem throughout the levels. You are tasked with saving dragons, dragon eggs, collecting orbs and in typical dragon fashion stealing hordes of treasure. The gameplay is a 90’s platformer where you collect various objects, something that was popularised by Super Mario 64 in 1996 which other games followed suit such as Banjo Kazooie. The stories are fun and don’t take themselves seriously, they always have a wink to camera sense of humour which had me chuckling a few times. Spyro The Dragon is about the wisecracking titular purple dragon who is on a quest to save his dragon friends in the first game, stop Ripto in the second and finally to find dragon eggs that were stolen from the dragon realms in the third. It is a wonderful remake of the original Spyro trilogy, it reignites (no pun intended) my inner child where I feel 5 years old again as I explore the dragon realms collecting treasure. 20 years later Toys for Bob have completely remade the first 3 games from the ground up for the current generation. It’s hard to believe that the original Spyro came out 20 years, I was 5 years old at the time and I have vivid memories of the game and being enthralled with the setting.
Toys For Bob wind back the clock to put together fantastic Spyro reboot.
