It’s frankly bizarre that it’s not included.Īdditionally, for a game that dazzles from a design perspective with its piercing colour palette you’d think HDR support would be a no-brainer, but again, it’s conspicuously absent. Firstly, there’s no subtitles option, which should be a prerequisite for any game from an accessibility standpoint. Though particular care has been taken to painstakingly recreate each game’s worlds, characters, and music, there are some rather strange omissions from the overall package that’s left us scratching our heads. It’s definitely a more tranquil one, that’s for sure. And unlike everyone’s favourite marsupial’s adventures, you could say that at its core Spyro’s gameplay just holds up a lot better than that of its counterpart. The changes are a lot more delicate than say, the change in jumping mechanics for Crash Bandicoot, and it’s all the better for it. The uniformity by which all the games play is definitely commendable, too, and there are subtle modern design sensibilities that make the experience more refined. Toys for Bob has opted to give players the choice between a very faithful rearrangement of the original tracks, a dynamic variation that takes into account what sort of environment Spyro is in at any one time, and the original compositions if you so choose to play that way.

Composed by Stewart Copeland, the legendary drummer of the band ‘The Police’, Spyro’s music – from the melodic, self-reflective tones of Summer Forest to the bombastic percussion of the main theme – holds a very special place in the hearts of fans and has been treated with due respect in the Reignited Trilogy.

Make no mistake, these are the games in the way your pre-adolescent mind had concocted them, full of whimsical characters and lush, leafy landscapes – complete with gaming’s biggest villain in the form of Moneybags, who’s at every turn to try and pry some hard-earned gems from your person (or dragon.) Though he doesn’t look as snooty, his voice is spot-on, and he’s still on hand to put up arbitrary barriers in front of Spyro where possible.Īn area of particular fondness from the original trilogy is undoubtedly the soundtracks, too. Spyro Reignited Trilogy Is Recreated From The Ground-Upīoth Ripto’s Rage and Year of the Dragon really speak to a budding Insomniac Games finding its feet following the development of Disruptor and the original Spyro the Dragon, and to see the fruit of their labour so faithfully recreated from the ground up by Toys for Bob will bring a smile to any fan’s face. Naturally, the effort by which these games are remade accentuates these aspects immeasurably, and the gulf in complexity between the likes of the Artisan World and Sunrise Spring really is pronounced. Like Crash Bandicoot before it, the jump in quality between the original Spyro and its subsequent sequels is quite staggering – levels become more complex, layered, colourful and dense. Given the fact that it’s a remaster, however, your mileage will depend on your affinity for the original trilogy or even platforming games in general – thankfully the latter two sequels are arguably the two best games in the genre available on the original PlayStation.

Though each game is stylistically different, the level of fidelity follows that trajectory perfectly and each game looks spectacular in its own right. It’s worth stressing that this remastering effort is meticulously crafted with a level of faithfulness that’s rare amongst remakes. Both characters have weight and resonance with a sizeable subset of folk who have now entered an age where they’ll look back fondly on games from their earlier years and it’s safe to say that Toys for Bob has delivered spectacularly on its mission to modernize Spyro whilst still staying true to its lineage with the Reignited Trilogy.
