Spyro™ Reignited Trilogy

As a fan of the originals when I was a child, I love the Reignited Trilogy. It has updated controls, nice graphics, runs (mostly) well and I can play it on the go on my Steam Deck. Once I locked the frame rate to 60fps things worked better overall.

The games themselves are pretty much as they were on the PS1. There are still some low moments like the mini games in Year of the Dragon, but as an addictive collectathon I couldn’t help but 100% all three games. Bonus points for including the option to switch between new and old versions of the soundtrack.

I’d recommend to anyone who enjoys collectathons and platformers, but I’d especially recommend to anyone wanting the nostalgia trip after not playing the originals for a few years.

Fulfilled the nostalgic kick.
There were a few small bugs but other than that, its faithful to the original source material

Amazing remaster. Updated music and graphics with the same nostalgia.
(No, the original isn't better)

Amazing game, vibrant colors, lots of puzzles, lots of having to not leave rocks unturned, multiple character gameplay, great graphics

Great games. Haven't played the originals, but an aesthetic comparison via Youtube shows the updated character models are tastefully improved. The controls, though...had to switch from 60 FPS to 30 FPS to stop Spyro from sliding when still and to get him to jump when prompted.

The first entry has the cleverest but also the most frustrating level design if you aim for completion. Ripto's Rage, to me, is the best of the three since we get upgraded abilities, especially the ever-so-vital hop at the end of the glide, its straightforward presentation. Year of the Dragon leaves a lot to be desired upon first viewing with its myriad minigames requiring familiarity with several relatively poor control schemes, with pronounced kludginess in the whack-a-mole, skateboarding and ice racing games. However, the shooting minigames are a good first entry, especially when it has third- and first- and rail-shooters (all very easy), and the ease and replayability of the speedway levels greatly improves in YOTD, compared to Spyro 1 or 2.

such a fun game. just don't obsess over getting 100% or you'll ruin it for yourself. run around and have fun

Loved playing it! Not too difficult, but also some tasks are not too easy (took me some time to beat skating records...)

I spent the time to complete them all before reviewing. It's hard to give a recommend because the only good thing is the models and art side of it. All of them look great. Sadly all of the games lack optimization and bug fixes as if it's a day 1 release never updated, the original games work much better in that sense.
When using 2 monitors, it loads on the 2nd monitor every single time ever and occasionally drags the mouse to your 2nd monitor dooming what you're doing in the current game. The game only crashed 1 time for me when tabbing out at least.

You can load any level any time once you started it and the games are mostly faithful to the originals, so you can return to 100% anything missed.

Spyro 1 - Some levels with wizards are soft-locked unless you change FPS to 30.
-The credits are unskippable the first time and 20+ minutes long.
-Flight controls are inverted and less responsive than regular.

Spyro 2 - Swimming is worse than flying.
-Remembering to hover at the end of glides, and having it work when needed, is rough.
-The skeleton does fortnite dances I hope it collapses and stops dancing.
-Aiming cannons or spit items is a nightmare.
-Flying through ring sections is a nightmare.

Spyro 3 - Best thing about this game is an egg hint named "Bad Dragon".
-Skateboarding is worse than swimming, which is worse than flying.
-Sparx is barely responsive to nearby gems if using a character that isn't Spyro.
-Timed segments are horrible.

All Spyro's: Look great, function poorly.
They could of given the dragons fatter asses too, missed opportunity compared to how everything else got caked up.

I didn't expect to enjoy it so much! I played some Spyro growing up over at a friends, but never got into the series myself. Tempted by that sweet nostalgia though, I picked it up on sale, and it has been a delightful experience. The gameplay is simple, but satisfying. Spyro is speedier then other 3D platformers, which makes the platforming and level exploration more exhilarating. Clearing a map requires a keen eye, but is rarely frustrating. The character designs are amazing, the amount of humor baked into character and sound design is just a treat. Overall, a great experience that seems to be made by passionate devs. Will be watching for Toys for Bob's future releases and happily going for 100% in this title.

A nostalgia trip that brings the classic games back to life with beautiful visuals and smooth gameplay. It felt great revisiting these worlds, and overall, the experience was a blast. However, there were some buggy moments, and certain challenges (yes im talking about boxing the yeti and that final skate race in the bonus world) tested my patience. Still, the charm, fun platforming, and faithful remastering make it well worth playing. Solid 8/10!

Bought this solely for the nostalgia trip, and that didn't disappoint.

I won't be able to put this away until I've completed all 3 games and maxed out the guidebook items.

We need a Spyro 4 before I go crazy. But seriously, reignited trilogy is a faithful remake of the first three games. Great graphics, voice acting and music. Plays great and looks great. Beautiful.

I never actually played Spyro back in the day, even though I owned a PSX 1. I absolutely love 3D platformers, and I also found out that Isomniac one of my favourite developers developed the trilogy, so decided to pick it up a while back. Resistance Fall Of Man 1 and 3 are some of the best FPS shooters to date!
I thoroughly enjoyed playing through all the Spyro games in order, and collecting all the achievements. I can confirm that all achievements still work which is great.

The only issue i found is some levels require you to lower the fps to 60 in order for certain parts of those levels to work. A bit annoying but once I found out that fixes it, you just do that bit and then reset the fps back to whatever you want, in my case 144fps!

I had a lot of fun collecting everything and completing all levels to 100%. Now for the Crash Bandicoot Trilogy. :)

The Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a beautiful throwback to the carefree PS1 days and an absolute joy to revisit. Part 1 and 3, in particular, stood out with their bonus levels, offering a fresh layer of fun and excitement that kept me coming back for more. Achieving 100% completion in these levels was an absolute blast, and the achievement hunting kept me motivated to replay various stages, each time discovering something new.

Whether you're looking to relive the nostalgia of your childhood or just love a solid adventure/platformer, this trilogy is a fantastic choice. The revamped graphics, updated controls, and timeless gameplay make it accessible to both old and new fans alike.

Highly recommended to anyone who wants a bit of nostalgia or just enjoys great platformers!

The cutest, most fun 3D platformer on Steam, bar none. These games ooze charm. And while they are not especially challenging (though they do have their moments), you will not regret it if you're a fan of 3D platformers that have taken the time to inject personality. Yooka wishes it could be half as charming on its best day.

great games(s), atmosphere, and vibrancy within the worlds, my main complaint is the game's physics and movement start struggling above 120 fps, and there has been no fix for it since the game came out

A very visually impressive remake of the original Spyro trilogy. If you like 3D platformers or loved the original Spyro games, you should totally try this one.

Nice and refreshingly simple fun for all ages. You don't even need to be nostalgia tripping to have a good time.

I didn't play the original ones back in the day but the reignited trilogy was really fun to play through. A bit of a hassle and frustrating to get all of them to 100% (But hey, it's my first perfect game!) and I remember a bug where I had to lower the framerate to 30fps to get over a specific bridge but besides that, I really enjoyed my time with this game. Lovely graphic, nice dialogues and great levels, 9/10, I can absolutely recommend.

Spyro was already a fun game on the PS1 back then. a game in which you don't have to think much. no complex story or complicated game mechanics. overall very beginner friendly. lots of rewards in-game + the steam achievements provide additional motivation. So far I would say that this remastered version is very successful. The only thing missing is the old school charm of the PS1 version.

This game has no 3rd party EULA indicator on its store page.
However, the first thing you are shown in-game is a massive EULA page where you are explicitly notified that you have absolutely no rights and they can do anything in the future and you can do nothing.
American players also have less rights than EU players.
Classic evil corpo stuff we are all sadly too familiar with.
But, what makes it insidious is the manner in which they try to trap you and take advantage of the fact that you already spent time installing the game, so you are more likely to blindly accept whatever they throw at you.
I take issue with this kind of approach.

i absolutely love it. it was my favorite game as a kid, i played it everyday on PS1 and playing this now brings back so many memories. it lags from time to time but it really rare, its probably because im on a laptop but even so, it runs so smoothly i was surprised that a game like this could run smoothly on an old laptop like mine, even minecraft lags like crazy so i was really surprised. i would recommend it to anyone who wants to play a nostalgic game with cool graphics

Spyro 2 was my first console game on PS1 back in the day. Played through the Reignited Trilogy on PS4 and thoroughly loved it, this is how a remake is done! Bought this on sale to replay now on PC, the game plays fine but any attempt to change graphics settings in-game is causing GPU to black-screen leading me to having to restart the PC a few times just to get the GPU showing Windows again. Even exiting the game to return to Windows causes the same problem. MSI RTX 3060 NVidia GPU with Windows 11, installed latest game drivers for the GPU just today. Bad drivers or not, an AAA game being unable to apply graphics settings without crashing the client GPU is not good enough.

This isn't so much a review on the game itself as a warning about the technical difficulty I've had with it.

The game runs fine with internet turned off, but seconds after enabling internet, it invariably closes. If I launch the game while connected to internet, it closes after about 30 seconds.

By redirecting datarouter.ol.epicgames to 0.0.0.0 in my hostfile I've gotten it to run, but it should not be necessary to do such a thing to run a game. Only recommend if you want to deal with that.

The game aged as Spyro itself did - take that how you will. The remaster itself is fantastic; I'm blown away by the quality of the art, especially the character models.

The complete trilogy in one single pack with new music (with the option to choose the original one). The graphics are amazing and the games are as fun as always. Big recommend. Only downside so far is the loading times in the first game of the trilogy. The redisigns of the characters are charming and cute.

Spyro as a game is a classic.

This remake however ruins the art style for the game and is put together as nostalgia bait like slop. At this point the underlying game should be fine to get right?

NOPE. Even though I want to play it its a buggy piece of shit even 5 years after release. It has stupid crash errors that require community patches to fix. This is the kind of crap you expect for janky ports of mid 00s games. Not a fully released game. Crash's remake trilogy is essentially the same era and has nowhere near the amount of issues this game has.

Whoever ported this should be ashamed that jank JRPG ports are easier to fix than this PoS.

played this game many times over the years, completed it on different platforms and still come back to play it again and again

Fun game, bring memories back!
If u have trouble walking, lower your fps to 50 and problem solved!

I’m a big 3D platformer fan, and Spyro has always been one of my favorite childhood games.

The Reignited Trilogy does a great job of capturing the essence of the originals and staying true to what made them special.
If you played the originals, you can instantly tell that the devs had a lot of passion when making this game.
The 3D platforming is a lot of fun, the game runs smoothly, and the visuals are amazing.

One issue I encountered is that the physics are tied to the FPS. You need to lock it at 60, or Spyro starts sliding around. Also, in a few parts of the first game, you have to lock the FPS to 30 to avoid getting softlocked.

Steam deck compatibility needs to be dropped to Playable instead of Verified. When running at 60 fps (the games default setting) it will occasionally soft lock by not letting doors open or challenges complete. Reducing framerate in the performance menu does fix it, but you shouldn’t have to do that in a Verified game.

i LOVE LOVE LOVE spyro BUT the camera and the walk is malfunctioning and pointing in arbitrary directions. I wish they would fix this i cant move sometimes and then he just slides in different directions and when i go to fly or jump on a ledges its to slow or lagging and i just fall to my death its so annoying PLZ FIX THIS

Amazing games that still hold up. They look great and run amazing on the Steam Deck. The achievements are also fun.

Another excellent remake of one of the best titles from the PS1 era. Although I like the Crash Bandicoot games more than Spyro, I prefer this remake over the Crash remake. They absolutely nailed it!

I love Spyro, but this game needed so match patch work done, it's insane how many bugs and glitches you can encounter in a play through - yet it never received a single update.

Don't play over 120FPS, Spyro will slide even when standing still.

In Spyro 2, after buying headbash, I had to remap my controller via Steam Input to have LCTRL be my Y button so I could hover/headbash, as it rarely or never let me otherwise - this bug also happened on PS4, which was miserable given the lack of M&K.

Flawless Widescreen with the Spyro Reignited scripts makes the FOV adjustable, which I'd recommend, as the camera in Reignited doesn't tend to work quite right most of the time.

Mods can enhance this game further to look more like the original, but that doesn't change nor fix the fact that Reignited's broken to the core.

I heard the game went through a rocky development cycle, with the usual unrealistic deadlines and pressure from higherups - but this game just needed more to be worth genuinely recommending, and they just didn't let it achieve that.

This is where I started when it comes to video games. When I played the original Spyro the Dragon game, I was probably 3 or 4 years old, and it fundamentally changed me as a person. I only have 13.4 hours on Steam, but you best believe I have more on my Switch, and God has seen me do horrible things to the CD copies of the PS game, namely use it so often it cracked and also burning out two PS2s with it.

So when I say I highly recommend Spyro, I mean it. The idea to play as a dragon that gets to fly around and burn things and collect gems is so fucking genius I'm surprised that there aren't more games like this.

Reignited did something I never would have imagined. For so long, no one knew about Spyro, or if they did, no one cared? So to get my beloved game remastered into something out of like a fucking pixar movie i was just blown away. everything about this is really gorgeous.

The controls aren't 1-to-1 to old Spyro, which annoyed me at first. Until I played old Spyro and I realized most of the changes were to make the game play smoother. I'll never forgive them for fucking up the charge-jump though that's literally the only way I ran around before and now it's just faster to charge normally.

I'm also just a freak nerd who loves stewart copeland so this is personal taste but i do NOT like the remastered music and i'm happy they give you the option to change it back to the original.

tldr; whether or not you've played old Spyro or not, I strongly encourage you to play this game, especially the first one I would consider really pleasant mind and eye candy or something like that.

Unfortunately, I cannot finish the game because the camera keeps malfunctioning and pointing in arbitrary directions. I wish they would fix this.

Positive: The game is very simple and doesn't require a lot of focus, which is exactly what I wanted from the game.
Negative: The controls are a bit weird and the PC port isn't very good (needs to run at 30 FPS).

the graphic, the game play, I can easily switch from PC keyboard to controller. Did I mention the graphics because I love them. The way to game works, plays, hides thing, it makes you work foe the 100% in the best way. It truely looks how you imagined it looking as a kid, its amazing.

Excellent game! If you love the old Spyro classics, you won't be disappointed.

I love Spyro, it's my favorite childhood game. But on the PC it's filled with so many problems. To list a few, you can't play it with high FPS because you can't walk, jump, or do anything. I've had my game wiped on riptos rage twice and others are having the game crash. These things should be easily fixed by the Devs but it's been left neglected. I can't recommend this game in the state.

A fun collectathon to just have some braindead fun with.

It should be noted however that this game isn't really well optimized and quite buggy. Gems dissapearing from the map, camera being stuck for no reason messing up trials, random frame drops in certain levels while others are perfectly fine.

Also the controls are really clunky but I guess that's the point.

Would still recommend the game if you just want to have a good time.

I like what I've seen so far. This game has nice graphics that run pretty well even on Ryzen 5600G integrated graphics. (720p with a mixture of high/ultra settings). I am also impressed by the quality of the dragons' animations. It seems like a lot of care and passion went into these remakes.

Words can not completely illustrate the sincere and delicate magic brought right out into the open from embarking on an adventure through this fantasy world. Listening to the whispers from the bottom of your heart highlighting the pang of nostalgia from playing the original game lead you to being fond of this one. Realms are troubled with thieving rascals and crooked monsters, it is up to you and Spyro to reclaim them to their former storybook and peaceful state for the dragons and friends of. The level of detail is remarkable, puts the game’s lore into a creatively wondrous perspective and allows for every generation of player’s minds to open up for an extraordinary view. Playing is akin to drinking a happiness potion, you’re left feeling a sense of wonder which expands the mind and leaves you enchanted. The art palette for the lay of the land and sky takes on an ethereal appearance which is whimsically pleasing to the eye. Anyone drawn to all magical things is sure in for a groundbreaking blast never experienced before. I wish this game’s eloquent magic upon those eager to enter this world with the brave hero. It’s an honor to complete this trilogy through the thick of it and fighting the good fight. There is nothing quite like a mystical purple dragon named Spyro, he’s a good sport who is well worth helping out.

This was just a really awesome remaster of an old game. They did it justice and still left it playable on most hardware.

A fun and nostalgic trip back to my childhood. Run it at 50fps or less though since several bugs make the game unpleasant to play at higher framerates.

Great collection of classic 90's 3D platformers, also plays great on Steam Deck

Game look nice but don't get fooled, it can be quite brutal. I let my niece play at it and she got stuck really really quick. They should have lowered the difficulty. Me personally I ragequited at a certain rng boss in spyro 2. I actually beat the boss after countless tries but for some reason my save rolled back to before the boss and that was it. I can't recommend this game unless you like old school platformer. It's not a game for today's kid.

I bought this game for my daughter, hoping to share a piece of my childhood with her. I grew up playing the original Spyro games, and seeing them beautifully remastered in the Reignited Trilogy is pure nostalgia. The updated graphics and smooth gameplay breathe new life into these classics while staying true to what made them special. It’s been amazing to relive these adventures and introduce them to a new generation. Highly recommend for longtime fans and newcomers alike!

It's a trilogy with lots of charm, and excels in almost every aspect (specially the soundtrack, it's pretty damn good). The only downsides are the wonky, erratic collisions and the strange bugs that happen when you don't cap your FPS to 60 in the game's settings. They can even render certain areas unplayable. It's a shame they never released a patch to fix them.

Despite these issues, it gets many things right, and I definitively recommend it. It's best to buy it on sale, you'll find it at a pretty cheap price.

I only ever played the original Spyro games for about 20 minutes as a kid, so I don't think this is just nostalgia talking: it's still a solid platformer from the classic era of 3-D platformers, maybe not the best series of them but still loads of fun. The game mechanics are fairly simple (jump, charge and flame, with the occasional power-up), but it keeps its fun over 3 games. The remake plays pretty smooth (one crash, one getting stuck in a wall in 30+ hours).

The game is easy to play and beat but has some difficulty spikes, particularly with some of the mini-games. The games, especially the third one, suffered from the era's need to include every type of popular game as a mini-game. If I wanted to skateboard I'd go play Tony Hawk! *old man shouts at clouds*
