Spyro™ Reignited Trilogy

It's a complete rebuild from the ground up- Not "upscaled". As such, multiple aspects of the games are changed heavily. The races in Spyro 1 as well as Tree Tops can be complete paints in the neck.

Not especially challenging, but still quite fun. Lots of extra details, and stand-out visual storytelling. Very smooth difficulty scaling.

I've been playing and re-playing the Spyro games since they came out and the Reignited Trilogy is as close to a perfect remake as you can get. They've captured everything I loved about Spyro and it makes for a wonderful game.

Would prefer the retro graphics but pretty fun none the less very easy and alot kiddier than i remember but last time i played this game i was like 8 so it adds up gg

3/5 worth playing once

The games are not at all equal. The first and second have some unfun/unfair challenges, but they are the exception rather than the rule. The review is overall for the trio.

Year of the Dragon gets a 2/5 (parts worth playing once) because the ratio of fun and interesting levels goes waaay down in favor of gimmicks that were weak back when and are inexcusable now. This game is bad and I don't recommend it.

I 100'ed games 1 and 2, but bailed on 3 because it was just too unfun.

The game has some bugs, unfortunately. This is especially noticeable in the final phases where Spyro has to slide through ramps (Crystal Islands, Haunted Tomb). I had to limit the FPS to 60 to control Spyro properly, and I had to search online for this solution because those phases were nearly unfinishable. There are also some collision bugs—not very frequent, but still a bit frustrating.

That said, the game is amazing. It was incredibly nostalgic for me, as I played the original Spyro trilogy as a kid. The updated graphics are stunning, and the cutscenes are beautifully done. I also appreciate how the achievements add extra purpose to the game—they're not just about finishing levels or earning skill points. Speaking of skill points, they aren’t required to platinum the game.

Overall, this game is one of my favorites. I had so much fun playing it that I played it both on the Steam Deck and the Nintendo Switch—just to emphasize how good it is!

Amazing nostalgia for this game, fun memories, and an enjoyable game. However, don't take it too seriously, and if you're new, I wouldn't recommend it because it lacks a strong story.

I enjoyed playing this, and it brought back great memories from childhood. Worked well on Steam Deck!

Spyro got me hooked on the Playstation, so this is a big yes for me. I actually think I have it on three platforms, come to think. Works great with a controller, remaster looks sharp, I am a happy gamer.

Spyro was among the first few games I ever played, back on the small PS1 console. Didn't have a memory card so I had to play it from scratch every play session. Eventually got a memory card and got to enjoy the full splendour, eventually playing Spyro 2 and 3. What this remaster achieves is exceptional, it looks exactly how my eyes saw it as a child. Truly incredible work by the developers.

You can't go wrong getting this trilogy if you enjoy platformers. It's fun.

The reignited trilogy is such an incredible refresh to a great series of games. It's so nice to have them in the same art style with a similar feel for controls. Having owned the PS4 version, this runs so much smoother and is much more fun to play. Chasing the dragon.... err..um... chasing achievements is a fun and interesting challenge whether this is your first time with the game, or your 4th. If you like 3D Platforming, this is definitely one to try.

Very mixed bag of a game. Note: I didn't play the original games on PS1, so I'm not sure if the same issues existed in them.
First, the positives: The new art style, graphics and character designs look great! Many level layouts are fun. It's a good thing you can pin point the last few gems you have missed.

Negatives: The game suffers from extreme jank. Spyro seems to collide with the most tiniest bumps and corners, which often kills you during flying, or jumping. He also regularly gets stuck and slides along edges, often also killing you. Fast running, flying and swimming controls are quite awful, and if you are running the game higher than 30fps, the physics do not work properly, making some sections near impossible. How was this never fixed??

Spyro often doesn't pick gems even if you run very close to them. This also happens if you use the flame attack while running through breakable objects, as the gem spawns after you have run past it, so you often need to turn around to pick the gem. This doesn't happen if you dash trough objects, which is weird since you move faster through it. Also the high grass and other extra environment details make it very easy to miss single gems, resulting in constant backtracking.

So while the new graphics are amazing, I feel this remake added a bunch of new problems to the games which heavily hampered the experience. Spyro 2 was my favorite of the trilogy.

it was such a fun time revisiting some of my favourite games from childhood, and finally being able to complete them in full. as someone who is obsessed with collectathons, this trilogy really scratches that itch :) i will say that the control on vehicles and the camera itself can be a little janky at times, but i think that is mostly due to my muscle memory fighting against the new 'reignited' control scheme.

overall, i would definitely recommend this trilogy if you grew up with these games! i would also recommend it to anyone new to the spyro series, especially if you're looking for a relatively easier platformer experience.

Favorite childhood game, played for 20 years across different consoles... highly recommended, highly loved <3

just an absolute fanboy of the trilogy who has already played through the original games hundred times, and owns the remastered on 3 different platforms, nothing to see here

I've only played the first OG game on PS1 and I'm glad they didn't make too many changes besides the graphics. The only thing that bothers me is that Spyro only has the fire ability while in the other DS/PS2 games he had fire, electricity, ice, and earth.

Keeps the spirit of the original whilst making lots of quality of life improvements. All remakes should be treated with this level of care.

Bro Legit enslaved an entire species just because he was called ugly . If that isn't petty, I don't know what is

I've always loved Spyro, but this game is just... ugh. It really is beautiful, and it's fulfilling a lot of my nostalgia for these older games, weather it's with the characters or sound design, i love all of that! but there's one big issue that i have tried and tried to ignore but it's driving me insane and literally making this game unplayable for me. the controls.

Spyro slides all over the place, sometimes forcing you off of platforms or forcing you to readjustment your position every 2 seconds.
while running around it seems as if i randomly keep hitting invisible walls which force Spyro to move side to side, i could be entirely wrong but it feels as if the hit-boxes for some of the flooring's (tiles, rougher terrain) are just way too big in certain areas which causes this. and it's not even like this is only an issue hidden inside some of the levels, it's literally in the LOBBY.
The camera is the most atrocious, jerky and either too fast or too slow no matter how i adjust it in game or with my mouse.
while charging Spyro will randomly bolt in a different direction, or turn wayyy too fast for what you're expecting, causing you to headbutt into a wall almost every time you try and run.

overall, the control to this game are just so unreliable and janky that it's ruining the entire game for me. it's very, very beautiful, and i want to love it i really really do, but i shouldn't be getting frustrated by just moving. I have tried for nearly 30 hours to ignore this (and tried with both keyboard and controller) and idk if i'll eventually come back and try again, but for now (or until there is a fix) i just can't recommend this remake.

Spyro: The Reignited Trilogy is a fever dream with enough Anthropomorphic Characters and Enemies to last about as long I have playing this game. Firstly, I like the music. Most songs fit into the theme of the level, though, limiting how hard they could've gone. Graphics are fine. This isn't a game where you'll be stuck configuring a whole lot of things. Thirdly, the gameplay. It's also fine. It doesn't change much throughout the three games, so they end up being very same-y and formulaic, which is why I'm reviewing this before beating it. There were also some mild physics bugs here and there. Some of the minigames and collectibles proved confusing to figure out These three things didn't take away from my enjoyment of the game. My main complaint is that the game becomes exhausting for me after about half an hour per session. I feel like the artstyle and gameplay make this game inherently overwhelming. In response to other reviews, I played this game on a Desktop connected to a Mesh Network via Ethernet. I was always connected to the internet. So, I never experienced any save file issues. There are horror stories in these reviews of people who DID have save file issues, though. I don't think you can really go wrong with this game, which is why I recommend it.

A beautiful remake of a major part of my childhood.

I highly appreciate the option to use the original soundtrack. While the new stuff is nice enough, it could never have competed with Copeland's work.

This is exactly the way you remember the game looking and playing through rose-tinted glasses. It's beautiful and plays slick, and keeps that magical feel of the original Spyro series.

Absolutely love this collection! The games are a perfect 1:1 recreation of the originals PS1, but with stunningly improved graphics and smoother controls. It captures the same nostalgic vibe, bursting with vibrant colors and charm. Completing each game 100% (and beyond) is super fun, especially collecting every gem and tackling all the challenges

I did encounter a few bugs in the third game, but nothing that spoiled the experience.

A beautifully restored piece of nostalgia.
Highly recommended!

One of the best remakes of all time, the gameplay has been considerably improved since the PS1 originals and the game is extremely addicting with no downsides. The game allows you to warp at any time from a menu to any level you already been to, Spyro controls perfect, the game load times are super fast on a SSD., the OG music is included as an option ( much better than the remastered music )

If you like 3D platformers, this trilogy is about as good as they come.

I’m a big fan of the original Spyro games, and the Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a great remake. The graphics are amazing, with bright, colorful worlds and characters looking better than ever.

The gameplay is just as fun as I remembered. The controls are easy to use, and the levels are full of exciting challenges. Exploring and collecting gems is still a blast.

The voice acting and music are great too, bringing back all the nostalgia from the original games. Plus, you can switch between the old and new graphics, which is a cool feature.

Overall, Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a fantastic remake that’s perfect for both old fans and newcomers. It’s fun, easy to play, and definitely worth checking out.

Love playing this classic and I hope to see more remasters of classic games like this

Remakes that do a good job of replicating the originals. Nothing replaces the dreamscapes of the ps1, but the rest of the package is pretty sweet.

it's a great remake apart from the physics not being as good as the original.

A perfectly chill game for the Steam Deck. A like for like remake of the original trilogy, so if you played that, you know what to expect.

Surprisingly minimal stutter. I was expecting more from the reviews but I only ran into stutter during the loading animation for levels (so none during actual gameplay for me).

I can get a smooth 40 fps (25 ms frame time) locked with the following settings that balance performance and visuals:
Resolution: 1280x800 (default)
•Max fps (use Steam deck frame limit set to 40 fps)
•motion blur: preference(I will say this game has a good motion blur implementation)
•Vignette: off
•bloom: medium-high
•AA: off
•SSR: low (off by default)
•Ambient Occlusion: low (off by default)
•Shadow Quality: low
•Foliage Quality: low
•View distance: low-medium

PRO TIP:
Adjust steam deck’s analog stick dead zones. They are massive by default and this makes the speedway races VERY DIFFICULT. I set mine to ~6400 and this made a MASSIVE difference but each device will be different.
To do this, in the main Steam Deck interface, go to Settings>Controller>Calibration and Advanced Settings>Joysticks.

Sadly this is a bad remake. It looks amazing (especially Spyro 1), but the gameplay is much worse.

-Sparx, the dragonfly that collects gems for you, works worse, he refuses to collect any gems near you if youre in the air at all, which gets annoying in spyro 2 & 3 since they have areas and characters that put more emphasis on flying around freely. Sometimes sparx also refuses to collect gems outright even though youre standing literally right next to them. Gems also constantly blend in with the graphics and in the case of the grass, sometimes they are just straight up invisible from certain angles because they get hidden by the grass (funnily this problem can be reduced by playing on low settings due to less grass being present). They did implement sparx's ability to show you where gems are in all 3 games now, but that feels more like a band-aid if anything. It doesnt fix the issue that collecting gems is no fun at all due to these issues

-The controls underwater and in free flying are worse, when you turn, you still drag behind in that direction, like drifting with a car which feels super weird in swimming and flying control, and genuinely becomes an issue in spyro 3s speedway races, since they demand much more precision which is awful to do with those controls.

-while the graphics look overall much better, one area where they are severely lacking compared to the original is the animations of enemies. The original knew what to emphasize in the animation and what to exaggerate to make the animations feel impactful and dynamic, which reignited fails badly to recapture. A prime example is spyro 3s first boss, which in the original uses squash and stretch to exaggerate his movement and make it feel more dynamic. In reignited this boss misses that completely and makes the boss look much worse in movement. And a majority of the enemies in all 3 games have similar problems

There are alot of smaller issues here and there as well, mostly in the minigames in spyro 2 & 3, but listing them all would be way too long here. With that said, Spyro 1 is the strongest argument in favor of this collection, since the ps1 version was also not ideal in several ways, so the improvement is much easier to see.
But if you wanna play 2 or 3, yeah, no play the originals and stay away from this...

There was a particular sort of magic in the original trilogy's art style. The limitations of the old tech required these abstract, dreamy worlds. This was especially loud in the first game.

This is a well-done remaster, clearly made with love, but the nostalgia wasn't there for me. Still my favorite adventure platformer. Still fun.

And, you get to be a tiny dragon.

I played for the first time on my gameboy sp

I recommend this game if u like the franchise

10/10

game stopped working recently, it auto activates steam vr when starting for whatever reason. spyro cannot be moved and just walks in one sspot.

The game is glitch-y and I sometimes run into Soft-lock glitches that require me to restart my game. Unfortunately, I ran into a hard-lock glitch. On Alpine Ridge, where a big wall is supposed to rise and fall because of a Wizard magic. I need the wizard to bring the wall down, however the game is failing to do its designed programming for the Wizard to drop the wall. I tried resetting the level and resetting the game and both times didn't work. If the first game in the trilogy is this buggy, then I'd rather not try out the other games.

Two great games, and one late PS1 game.

Spyro 1 and 2 are both fun experiences that I had a good time getting 100% (or more in the case of 1).
Most of this review is just me complaining about 3 but I promise that reignited is totally worth the money.

Spyro 3 feels dated with all of the different half baked gameplay styles. There are 6 playable characters, (including Spyro) 3 different vehicles, and a handful of unique minigames. Nothing really gets enough time to properly shine and the levels feel dead because of how much of them are cut off into sub areas and character specific areas. The game feels like an absolute chore to complete and honestly if I hadn't had someone to play it with for the last 1/4 of the game I probably would've given up.

Also some actual complaints about the reignited version specifically, for whatever reason 3 runs *much* worse. With the exact same settings 1 and 2 were getting around 40-50 fps, and 3 was getting 15. I'm not entirely sure what the cause is, I assumed maybe the levels were just more complicated in 3 but even the early ones or the hubs ran noticeably worse. It also has the most achievements (40 of the 105) but most of them are for doing arbitrary things in levels that you would almost definitely be doing anyway to complete the level. I went back and got all of the ones that I missed beating each game and there was only a single one from 3 that I had missed. This isn't even a big deal it just really makes it feel like 3 had a totally different mindset behind it.

It's one of the all time classics. Except now it looks the way I pictured it in my mind all those years ago.

This is exactly what a remaster should be. It looks like it was made by Pixar.

Good game but still has some problems that need fixing such as needing to be locked at 30 FPS to avoid some bugs like spyro's Jump being lower and some paths just not opening unless you are at 30 FPS other than that. I give it my approval!

Can't 100% because of the dev who designed the flight levels janky controls with the worlds worst camera and you need to do all the objectives in one flight with no leeway for error.

A beautiful remastering, plays really well on the Steam Deck. I did have to move it to the internal SSD and off the micro SSD to stop the level loading lag/stuttering.

This game is nostalgia on steroids and a game I come to when I need to de-stress. It was good enough to double dip on (played a lot longer on ps4). I play it on Steam Deck not PC. It plays really nicely on Steam Deck.



Some things to keep in mind though

Some of the updated designs for the remake you may not be a fan of if you've played the original 3 games.
There are Levels/Achievements that seem a bit glitchy and haven't seemed to be fixed yet despite how long the remake has been out. There was something added in the Remake that the first 3 original games didn't have, unlocking a certain amounts of Skill Points will unlock pieces of concept art.

Pretty fun game. Hours of gameplay await. Recommend this for dragon lovers (like me). The visuals are extremely good. If you are looking for challenging gameplay, this game isn't really the choice for you. The game is pretty doable and lots of beginners could definitely 100% this game with lots and lots of time. Time over intensity. But either way, really good game. I love dragons and this was a must for me.

Solid remake of the original. Done about 2/3rd of the first game so far. Lost a little charm from the original graphics, but the graphics are good. Chose original soundtrack as well.

Great when it's working, but has a lot of issues that make the game borderline impossible at times. Occasionally you can't turn when charging which is required for certain sections of the game. I depleted most of my lives in Tree Tops because I couldn't turn right. I made it to the Ripto fight at the end of the second game when the audio stopped working on cut scenes. I verified the game files to stop the bug but I'm honestly not sure it did anything because my progress had been completely reset when I opened the game again. I had 100% on every level to that point. I want to like this game so badly, but I doubt these issues will be fixed.

An incredible and exciting glow up for this purple dragon (one of my favorite gaming franchises)! The visuals are striking, you can choose between the classic and reignited soundtrack, and the game controls are fluid and satisfying. The Spyro Reignited Trilogy acts as a nostalgic love-letter for those who played the original versions, an excellent introduction of the franchise to younger gamers, and a satisfyingly cozy and whimsical title for those who choose to play it.

I bought this mostly because I love the first Spyro so much, I could play it a million times and always feel a little happy inside while doing so. The original soundtrack is magic, I recommend selecting it.

9/10

I love this game because you can glide around as Spyro, you can use dash attacks to run faster and breathe out fire. You can also do levels where you can actually fly.

9 year old

Physics bug out if you run the game at anything above 30 fps and that prevents you from progressing.

Don't waste money on this unless, for some reason, 30 fps IS your thing.

my childhood game ;-;! 𖹭 My lovely purple dragon.𖹭𖹭
I miss the classic voice actors they were the best, especially Hunter’s and Sheila’s voices. Well, honestly, all of them were amazing.

I’m not a big fan of Spyro the Dragon (the first one). To be fair, I didn’t play it when I was a child, so I don’t have any memories of that game.

Spyro: Ripto's Rage is a solid 100/100. Collecting all the orbs and solving the small puzzles is so much fun.

Spyro: Year of the Dragon is so underrated; it has a special place in my heart ♡♡♡♡

If you decide to play this game, don’t forget to set the soundtracks to (original)~

i like the classic polygonal look and the original score more. but this is a nice, faithful tribute to those old games that i grew up with. spyro was actually my first video game and it helped me learn how to read. its nice to play a version that's meant for a modern audience. i hope the kids of today can pick this up and enjoy it just like i did when i was teensy.

i'll still be going back to the originals over this though. sorry toys for bob, you did an amazing job but you just cant replace spyro's cute little origami low textured look in my heart.
