Spyro™ Reignited Trilogy

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*

Had so much fun with Spyro!
One of the all time favorites growing up, brought back such fond memories.
If only all remake's were done like this one.
10/10

One of the best looking games I've ever played, and runs surprisingly well. Looks and feels like Spyro; I think they nailed it.

+ Good
~ Meh
- Bad

- Story just exists for Spyro to have a big bad. There's some forced romance in Spyro 3. It's alright and cute but unnessescary.
~ Spyro Bosses Range from fine to annoying
+ 100%-ing each level feels good and interesting
+ Plattforming and Combat are slick and feel good
+ Exploration is good, there is plenty hidden stuff and mini-games to do
+ Graphical Upgrades are great.

If you've never played Spyro, I do suggest this trilogy, but I don't suggest going for the 100%

TL;DR? Get it and play the first two games, if you enjoy them, play the third. completing all three games is glitchy and frustrating, play it, don't complete it.

There are some glitches and issues with the PC version of the game, some parts are not made to run at 60 FPS and will softlock the game unless you change to 30 FPS. This issue didn't show it's face for me till the second game, and I used it a couple times during the third game as well. The third game was the biggest issue for me, it had a lot of poor coding and didn't feel very polished, lots of skateboard crashing randomly, and bullets not shooting at the reticle causing some parts of the game to be very frustrating.

Those issues set aside, as someone who's never played Spyro before, it was a very fun experience and I really enjoyed my time with it. The levels are just the right size, and not over-complicated, everything is pretty easy to find on your own, and there was only one or two times in each game I had to look something up to find stuff. It was a really pleasant surprise and makes me wish I didn't miss out on this game in my childhood, I think I would have really enjoyed it.

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.
