A great game for all ages, with a huge adult following (at the time of release, and now all grown up), Spyro seems to possess an ability to transcend any age group because it’s just plain fun.

The great thing about the Spyro Reingnited Trilogy is that it’s available for a new generation to experience. Watch the Spyro Reignited Trilogy launch trailer below: Everything is cartoony, yes, but Reignited has such a way with making it all feel immersive. Dark Hollow (in Spyro the Dragon) is lined with books and candles giving it a lush feel, pulling you into the night’s air. Repeating tiles are cleverly strewn about, tricking the eye into thinking that every world was formed in its own natural right. The assets of the landscape are a great example of how the teams working on it took extra care–plenty of the same to look at, but nothing ever looks the same.

The levels are exactly the same, but everything is somehow different in every little detail. The first thing about these remasters that you notice is undoubtedly Unreal Engine’s touch on the updated graphics. After the world caught up with Spyro–selling 5 million copies and inducted into PlayStation’s Greatest Hits lineup, Insomniac went on to release Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage! (1999) and Spyro: Year of the Dragon (2000) which with the momentum of previous success, found themselves with great sales and positive reviews.

An absolute king of platforming in the PlayStation Golden Era, you might think Insomniac’s Spyro the Dragon was a smash success upon release, but it really didn’t reach its full stride until the 1998 holiday season.
