Three beautiful remakes of the first three Spyro games. There really isn't much going on here aside from the fantastic visuals, remade music, and some smoother controls but the originals were already well-made to begin with. They've always had simple platforming and satisfying gem collecting that just hits right.

It's a great example of refreshing the older games without taking away or adding too much. The dev team crammed so many intricate visual details wherever they could, amplifying the game's already charming universe. It's so interesting to see an idea of what the enemies were supposed to look like had their original forms been on more powerful hardware.

My one critique is that the third game, Year of the Dragon, feels watered down compared to Spyro The Dragon and Ripto's Rage. It's still beautiful and fun to play, but it's obvious that this one had less time spent on it in comparison because it lacks polish. The mini-games in this one play a lot worse and the baby dragons are the same 3 models; very unfortunate since the first game got a huge face lift with all the different detailed adult dragons and the second one had great and very different looking main characters.
