About Spyro Reignited Trilogy
Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a remastered collection of the original three Spyro the Dragon games from the late 90s and early 2000s. Developed by Toys for Bob and published by Activision, it brings updated visuals, controls, and level design to classic 3D platforming adventures. Released in 2018, it’s available on PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox One, and Switch. The games follow a purple dragon collecting emeralds, battling bosses, and exploring whimsical fantasy worlds. The remasters retain the core gameplay but add modern polish, making them accessible to new players while satisfying longtime fans. If you remember Spyro’s original charm or want to experience a cornerstone of 90s platforming, this is the package.
Gameplay
Each game in the trilogy tasks you with navigating 3D levels filled with floating platforms, hidden emeralds, and puzzle-gated areas. You’ll jump, glide, and use elemental attacks (like fire or water) to defeat enemies and solve environmental challenges. Combat is simple but requires timing, boss fights often involve memorizing attack patterns. The camera, once a flaw in the originals, now tracks smoothly. A typical session involves replaying levels for collectibles or perfecting platforming jumps. New features like checkpoint respawns and improved movement make the 20-year-old design feel fresh. While the core loop is repetitive, the variety of level themes (from jungles to castles) keeps it engaging.
What Players Think
The community gives it an 80/100 on Metacritic and 83.5/100 on IGDB. Most praise the remastering work but note some levels still feel dated. Player completion rates for achievements average 18.5%, with "Monkeying Around" at a mere 5.3%, a rare gem for completing a specific puzzle in Year of the Dragon. Average playtime hovers around 20 hours, but hardcore completists spend 40+ chasing all 105 achievements. Reviews split between nostalgia-driven fans and critics who call it a “nostalgia cash grab.” Positive moods highlight the “polished charm,” while others gripe about “casualized” difficulty.
PlayPile's Take
This is a must-play for 90s platformer fans or those who love tight, precise mechanics. The remasters respect the original design but won’t win over newcomers expecting modern innovation. At current prices, it’s a decent pick for completionists aiming for 105 achievements, though the rare unlocks demand patience. Skip if you’re looking for story depth or modern open-world mechanics. The trilogy proves Spyro’s core loop still works, but don’t expect magic beyond the nostalgia.
