Spyro™ Reignited Trilogy Reviews

This is where I started when it comes to video games. When I played the original Spyro the Dragon game, I was probably 3 or 4 years old, and it fundamentally changed me as a person. I only have 13.4 hours on Steam, but you best believe I have more on my Switch, and God has seen me do horrible things to the CD copies of the PS game, namely use it so often it cracked and also burning out two PS2s with it. So when I say I highly recommend Spyro, I mean it. The idea to play as a dragon that gets to fly around and burn things and collect gems is so fucking genius I'm surprised that there aren't more games like this. Reignited did something I never would have imagined. For so long, no one knew about Spyro, or if they did, no one cared? So to get my beloved game remastered into something out of like a fucking pixar movie i was just blown away. everything about this is really gorgeous. The controls aren't 1-to-1 to old Spyro, which annoyed me at first. Until I played old Spyro and I realized most of the changes were to make the game play smoother. I'll never forgive them for fucking up the charge-jump though that's literally the only way I ran around before and now it's just faster to charge normally. I'm also just a freak nerd who loves stewart copeland so this is personal taste but i do NOT like the remastered music and i'm happy they give you the option to change it back to the original. tldr; whether or not you've played old Spyro or not, I strongly encourage you to play this game, especially the first one I would consider really pleasant mind and eye candy or something like that.

Unfortunately, I cannot finish the game because the camera keeps malfunctioning and pointing in arbitrary directions. I wish they would fix this.

i LOVE LOVE LOVE spyro BUT the camera and the walk is malfunctioning and pointing in arbitrary directions. I wish they would fix this i cant move sometimes and then he just slides in different directions and when i go to fly or jump on a ledges its to slow or lagging and i just fall to my death its so annoying PLZ FIX THIS

Spyro as a game is a classic. This remake however ruins the art style for the game and is put together as nostalgia bait like slop. At this point the underlying game should be fine to get right? NOPE. Even though I want to play it its a buggy piece of shit even 5 years after release. It has stupid crash errors that require community patches to fix. This is the kind of crap you expect for janky ports of mid 00s games. Not a fully released game. Crash's remake trilogy is essentially the same era and has nowhere near the amount of issues this game has. Whoever ported this should be ashamed that jank JRPG ports are easier to fix than this PoS.

This isn't so much a review on the game itself as a warning about the technical difficulty I've had with it. The game runs fine with internet turned off, but seconds after enabling internet, it invariably closes. If I launch the game while connected to internet, it closes after about 30 seconds. By redirecting datarouter.ol.epicgames to 0.0.0.0 in my hostfile I've gotten it to run, but it should not be necessary to do such a thing to run a game. Only recommend if you want to deal with that. The game aged as Spyro itself did - take that how you will. The remaster itself is fantastic; I'm blown away by the quality of the art, especially the character models.

I like what I've seen so far. This game has nice graphics that run pretty well even on Ryzen 5600G integrated graphics. (720p with a mixture of high/ultra settings). I am also impressed by the quality of the dragons' animations. It seems like a lot of care and passion went into these remakes.

This game has no 3rd party EULA indicator on its store page. However, the first thing you are shown in-game is a massive EULA page where you are explicitly notified that you have absolutely no rights and they can do anything in the future and you can do nothing. American players also have less rights than EU players. Classic evil corpo stuff we are all sadly too familiar with. But, what makes it insidious is the manner in which they try to trap you and take advantage of the fact that you already spent time installing the game, so you are more likely to blindly accept whatever they throw at you. I take issue with this kind of approach.

I love Spyro, it's my favorite childhood game. But on the PC it's filled with so many problems. To list a few, you can't play it with high FPS because you can't walk, jump, or do anything. I've had my game wiped on riptos rage twice and others are having the game crash. These things should be easily fixed by the Devs but it's been left neglected. I can't recommend this game in the state.

I’m a big 3D platformer fan, and Spyro has always been one of my favorite childhood games. The Reignited Trilogy does a great job of capturing the essence of the originals and staying true to what made them special. If you played the originals, you can instantly tell that the devs had a lot of passion when making this game. The 3D platforming is a lot of fun, the game runs smoothly, and the visuals are amazing. One issue I encountered is that the physics are tied to the FPS. You need to lock it at 60, or Spyro starts sliding around. Also, in a few parts of the first game, you have to lock the FPS to 30 to avoid getting softlocked.

Steam deck compatibility needs to be dropped to Playable instead of Verified. When running at 60 fps (the games default setting) it will occasionally soft lock by not letting doors open or challenges complete. Reducing framerate in the performance menu does fix it, but you shouldn’t have to do that in a Verified game.
