Spyro™ Reignited Trilogy

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.

Although nostalgic, Spyro literally has 0 personality and this game feels like a chore every single level.
Can't skip 18 minute long endgame credits either.

This game plays out just like I *remember* it on the PS1. But when i look back at the PS1 version now, I guess my imagination filled in a lot of gaps in the graphics

Absolutely brilliant remaster - childhood me is happy to see this come to fruition. Quite expensive so recommend on sale. The game looks and performs great though

it so fun evrey one shud play it im new and its the best game iv ever played

I grew up with this series and love the remake. Spyro and Spyro 2 feet true to the originals. Controls seem to be the same too! You can even change the music to the original PS1 version or keep the dynamic remastered on. Not familiar with Spyro 3 as I never had the money when I was 11 to buy it, but overall I love this blast from the past. Can't wait to see Spyro 4!

amazing graphics. loved this when i was a child and now my kids all enjoy this game. very wonderful blast from the past

A fantastic remake, I absolutely a love it!

after having played the originals years back and now finally doing it all over again it was worth it. strongly recommend.

This game is terrible. Just spend the money on a PS1 or PS2 and play the original trilogy on there.

a great remake of the original. Same gameplay but looks like

Just a trip down memory lane of one of the PlayStation titans.

Activision is mass firing artists and programmers and replacing them with AI generated garbage. Do not support them. If you want to play this game, get it through other means that doesn't involve giving money to Activision.

OK, I've played enough of this. At it's core, Spyro is NOT a good game. For those looking for platforming. there are many better and engaging platformers out there (any Nintendo platformer). If your're looking for some easy/mindless fun, again, there are many better options (Vampire survivors, mini-motorways, etc). I played these games when I was a kid (yeah I'm a 30 something boomer) and these games do not hold up, because there are many game from my youth that I've gone back and played and genuinely enjoyed (Banjo-Kazooie games for instance). The Spyro games are really not fun. They're not interesting, not engaging, they are just mindless and many other games do "mindless" way better.

it is Spyro and it is good, turn off the motion blur for your own sake though

Wonderful game remake. I really enjoyed it and if you enjoyed the OG's, you will like this. My only complaints are some design choices, the removal of guns, and some very minor story/character changes. I would give this game an easy 9/10. Less than 50 hrs to achieve it all so doesn't take too long

this is an amazing revival of a classic i hope they do something like this with more games keeping the essence and just polishing it a little

Great on steam deck. Fun all time great platform game.

This game in general is pretty well made and fits well with the original psone genre of this game type, so well done, I love this game.

Spyro is my all-time favorite game. Reignited is awesome and I am very happy to be able to play through this game again with updated graphics. Sadly this game is not perfect. There are so many little glitches and frustrating bugs that makes the game a chore to play sometimes. But the major issue I have is in the settings.

WHY GIVE US THE OPTION TO SET THE FRAMERATE TO 144 AND UNLIMITED WHEN BOTH THOSE OPTIONS LITERALLY BREAK THE GAME.

It makes 0 sense. Setting the fps limit to anything above 120 will cause spyro to just slide across the ground when you aren't touching any controls, and since this is a platforming game it pretty much becomes unplayable. Setting it to 120 is fine and game still runs good, but it just seems like some kind of oversight, especially paired with so many little bugs when playing makes it feel like this was just a rushed cash grab that's just using our nostalgia for profit.

Overall 8/10 execution, still love Spyro, but def pick up on a sale.

This was certainly a nostalgia trip! Admittedly, I'd only ever played the 2nd one as a child but I was surprised by how much I remember. I unfortunately still got stuck on the same parts I did as a kid, but at least there are guides now.
Works well with a PS4 controller.

Whether this is your introduction to the franchise or you're a returning player, I'd definitely recommend this game.

I played the first Spyro as well as Ripto's Rage when I was a kid. This remake is extremely faithful to the originals while adding in some much needed graphical updates and quality of life features. If you were a fan of the originals back in the day or if you've got a kid in your life, these are great games.

Very nostalgic but the controls are wonky for PC. A lot of sliding or it not wanting to let me run.

I enjoyed the Spyro trilogy and would recommend it to fans of 3D platformers, although if you aren't a fan of the genre then I think there are better games and the Spyro games probably won't convert you.
I had never played any of the original games and so this was my first introduction to Spyro. It felt a bit like a strange mix of modern high production values and old-school game design. There are lots of levels, all with different themes, which are relatively short. You make your way through them by doing a mix of platforming and combat, collecting gems, and look for the bigger collectibles which gate progress in the game.
The games are, mostly, quite easy. Generally I would say "too easy", and found Spyro to not be as fun as something like a Mario game. With that being said, the levels are short enough and there are so many of them that it was also kind of relaxing to just go through them.
If you want to complete everything, however, there are some very difficult parts. In the first game (my favorite) there were some secrets that I thought were really clever and took me a long time to find, and also some platforming that required notably more skill than the rest of the game. In the second and especially the third games, however, more and more mechanics are introduced and these don't have the same level of polish as the core Spyro controls, and there were some of these that were infuriating for me (the skateboarding races deserve special mention). So, full disclosure: Although I would rate most of the games as "very easy" there are some big exceptions.
The main attraction for me was the high production values. In the first game, especially, I was blown away by all of the unique dragon's with their own models and animation. Whether this would be a selling point for you would depend on what you look for in games, but I enjoyed spending time in the colorful whimsical worlds with the colorful and whimsical cast of characters, even if the game design didn't live up to it. The music is also pretty catchy.
(One additional caveat to this, however: The game was full of stereotypes and humor which, while not offensive per se, definitely felt like something from a different time period. Since I haven't played the original games I don't know what was changed and what wasn't, but it wasn't just a one-time thing where I would think "hmmmmmm" about something. Putting aside the many (many) cultural/ethnic stereotypes, there are lots of examples where sentient beings are killed and it is played for laughs (and you as the player kill innocent creatures in order to regain health and it is done in a very comic way, even though you just burned something to death). I don't want to belabor this point any more, but it seemed worth mentioning in a recommendation.)
The combat is very simple. Although there is a lot of visual variety in enemies they all kind of fit into a small range of archetypes and mostly do the same things. The boss battles get a little more creative (some more successfully than others), but in general the combat is just kind of there.
I loved my time with the first game (except for the final boss, lol) and was eager and excited to immediately start the second. By the time I got to the end of the third game, however, I was ready to be done. This isn't really an indictment of the games themselves (I have had this same response with other series, and it probably would have been wiser to take a break between games), but I do think that each successive game is less fun. In adding more and more, ironically, I think that the developers maybe lost sight of what made the original formula enjoyable. Still, it's hard to see this as too much of a negative considering that you are getting three games for the price of one.
If you would like a 3D platformer that you can play in small chunks and that it mostly relaxing and easy, with lots of charm, then I can recommend the Spyro Reignited Trilogy. If you like the art and animation style or collecting things then I would recommend it even more.
