A collection of three three-dimensional platform games that were originally released on the first PlayStation. The protagonist is a small, purple dragon named Spyro. The collection features the following games: Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage! and Spyro: Year of the Dragon. The games feature almost the same gameplay as the originals, but their graphics were greatly refreshed.
Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a collection of three three-dimensional platform games (Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage!, and Spyro: Year of the Dragon) originally released on first PlayStation during years 1998-2000. The protagonist of these games is a charming, purple dragon named Spyro. The original games were developed by Insomniac Games, the creators of Ratchet & Clank and Sunset Overdrive. The remake collection was developed by Toys For Bob.
Plot
The games available in Spyro Reignited Trilogy take place in a funny fantasy world (actually, in two worlds – Artisan and Avalar) and they tell the tale of adventures of Spyro – a small, purple dragon with a brave heart. He saves his friends from various troubles and he faces dangerous witches and wizards.
Mechanics
The games available in Spyro Reignited Trilogy are classic three-dimensional platform games. They are remakes of games that shaped the genre during the nineties. The gameplay focuses on beating levels by jumping, fighting enemies (the protagonist can breathe fire) and solving simple riddles. During the adventure, the players can also gather collectibles and complete tasks for non-playable characters. This is awarded with unlocking special rewards like additional level or true ending.
Each entry in the series expands the gameplay with new features. In Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage the dragon gains the ability to swim and climb. Spyro: Year of the Dragon features other playable characters with unique skills – Shiela the kangaroo, Bentley the yeti, Agent 9 the monkey and Byrd the penguin.
It is worth mentioning that the developers from Toys For Bob designed the controls from scratch. Thanks to that, the games support two analog sticks that weren’t the standard during the late nineties.
Game modes
The games available in Spyro Reignited Trilogy feature only a single player mode.
Technical aspects
The graphics of Spyro Reignited Trilogy are the greatest change in comparison to the original versions of the games. The visuals were designed from scratch – the developers faithfully recreated original levels on a completely new graphics engine, with new models, textures etc. The game looks very impressively.

GamesRadar+: 4 / 5 by Sam Prell
Spyro Reignited may not be as true to your memories of the PS1 trilogy as you'd like, but it holds up well and hasn't let go of its unique, kid-friendly charm.
Nintendo Life: 8 / 10 by Alex Olney
Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a wonderful love letter to a classic series, keeping everything that made the original games what they were, but slapping on a fresh coat of paint for the HD era. There are a few creaking bones showing their age here and there, but only due to the developers' desire to keep things as accurate as possible. The Switch version looks absolutely stunning and runs surprisingly well, so if you're looking for a classic 3D platforming experience, you should definitely give this a look-in.
Easy Allies: 8 / 10 by Michael Damiani
Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a beautiful remaster of the classic PlayStation entries, which hold up surprisingly well even after almost two decades.
