Spyro: Reignited Trilogy review
7 years ago
General
Now I told you all on how much i love Spyro, and yes, i still do. So when i got the game in the reignited trilogy i was hooked when it was first announced.
Spyro: Reignited Trilogy is a remake of the first three games of the trilogy, Spyro The Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! and Spyro: Year of the Dragon. Each game chronicled the adventures of Spyro, a purple dragon tasked with helping the worlds he travels to. The first game has him rescue the dragons in the Dragon Realms that were encased in crystal by Gnasty Gnorc. Spyro 2 has Spyro deal with Ripto, a dinosaur sorcerer who seeks to control the land of Avalar while he just wanted a vacation. And lastly, Spyro 3 has him travel to the Forgotten worlds to rescue 150 dragon eggs and rescue them from a sorceress who seeks them for unknown reasons.
Each game adds to the table and the originals haven't aged well due to glitches and the graphics at the time. But the reignited trilogy enhances all of that by giving them a new coat of paint and allowing for new life to be breathed into the series. For spyro 1, the dragons you rescue all have different looks to add to not just the world but also to differentiate themselves form every other dragon. Each world is also unique with subtle details you wouldn't notice but also breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes of the world that add to the feel.
Each of the games tells Spyro's adventures that also help to get you into the game. Each game is a collect-a-thon, meaning you're collecting things such as orbs and talismans, eggs, and dragons in the first game. The common collectibles are going to be gems, which you need to collect in the games as a currency, in 2 this helps you unlock new powers or ways to progress, no thanks to Moneybags, and 3 amps this to show you need to get new allies and powers and progress in the world.
There is also skill points, requiring you to go and make moves to collect the points. The points serve as bragging rights for the games and when collecting all, you can unlock the art gallery to go and see the concept for the games. There is also the sad fact that the art gallery is a replacement for the Epilogue books, that sadly was removed for the trilogy.
Another thing that was changed was the music, which was remixed by the original composer that can be switched on the fly in case you wish to play the original songs or the remade ones.
As a fan of the series, I loved these was happy and enjoyed it, having played these games as a kid and beaten them easily. As someone who is a fan, this is my childhood on top of Crash Bandicoot. I do hope we can see more remakes of other classics, maybe Rayman 2.
