NOW THIS IS MORE LIKE IT! Much better than the last game.
The Good
- Great Level Design
- Fun Platforming
- Great Music
-Vibrant Visuals
-Great Quality of life improvements
- Fun Bosses (Best ones in the entire trilogy)
- They actually made the Flying challenges fun! Mostly due to suggesting optimal routes for each speedway.
- New characters to play that kept the game fresh and fun all the way through.
- Spyro keeps his moveset from the last game!
The Meh
- The backtracking got annoying at times but it wasn't nearly as bad as it was in the first game.
The Bad
- Long Loading Times (Might just be because I played on Switch)
- Choppy Frame rate at times (Might just be because I played on Switch)
- That one mission with the twin dragons was so AWFUL.
Conclusion
I was extremely critical of Spyro 2. This is mostly because of being constantly told that it's the best one in the series only to be disappointed by its awful backtracking, hit-or-miss minigames (mostly miss), and frustrating skill point objectives. This game feels like the sequel that Ripto’s Rage was supposed to be and improved on nearly everything that the previous two games did wrong. It's kinda ironic because I was told that this was the worst one of the trilogy. I'm looking forward to whatever Toys for Bob cooks up for Spyro next. And hopefully, it won't take 10+ years to see our boy torching sheep like he does best.
