About
Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a collection that includes three remastered games from the Spyro franchise that were released in the late 1990s: Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! and Spyro: Year of the Dragon
Plot
The plot of the game is identical to that of the three original games. They all follow Spyro, a small cutesy purple dragon, on his quest to save his dragon kin from various villains.
The games are set in the Dragon Kingdom, a fantasy world inhabited by sentient dragons. There are five dragon realms that used to co-exist peacefully. In the first game, the villain is Gnasty Gnorc (a gnome/orc half-blood), who magically turned all dragons into crystals. Spyro has to save them and defeat Gnorc. In the sequels, Spyro has to deal with other villains, such as Ripto the warlock, who tries to conquer the world, or Sorceress, who steals the dragons' eggs.
Gameplay
The player controls Spyro in a 3D environment from the third person view. Spyro can breathe fire to defeat his enemies. The dragon cannot actually fly, but he can glide long distances. A dragonfly companion named Sparx follows Spyro, helping him to pick up treasures and keep track of his health. To restore his health, Spyro can eat butterflies. The third game, Year of the Dragon, introduces other playable characters that can be unlocked by completing levels.

Spyro Reignited Trilogy reviews and comments
Spyro 2: Expands the formula but ends up overcorrecting. So many collectibles are hidden behind clearing out X number of enemies from the level to open a gate or power-up. So many others are hidden behind finding the gate at the end of the linear level and then wandering finding the different collectibles. It was a good idea to move from dragon statues to two different types of collectibles, but talismans and orbs act so identically mechanically that the last level just gives up on the idea and rewards you with orbs where talismans were precious given. Boss fights are ok but go too long, thankfully there's only three.
Spyro 3: More like the original in a good way. But then they add those extra characters which are just bad. The third-person shooter monkey is the worst and introduced way too late and I just don't understand why they even bother. Using them in the bosses is a really good idea, though! For the third time, I don't understand why the "true" ending requirements are so high and so tedious. Great game buried here under the trilogy but it's kinda hidden under different parts between the whole trilogy.
