While all three Spyro games largely play the same as they did eighteen years ago, they've aged surprisingly well. However, it remains impressive how so much of all three original Spyro entries remains thoroughly enjoyable, even in contemporary context. Thankfully, those weaker levels are largely isolated to the first Spyro game which has a few hidden areas that are near impossible to spot by just exploring. They didn't have to come up with entirely new levels because most of what's there is already excellent, but the poorest levels are made even worse because they haven't aged well. Toys for Bob's stringent adherence to the original level design is both a blessing and a curse. Other than that, these games are largely the same as their PlayStation counterparts which is both a good thing and a bad thing: good because all three original Spyro games are great adventure platformers that all still hold up today, bad because the sometimes sparse and confusingly cryptic levels stick out like a sore thumb. The Spyro Reignited Trilogy follows in Crash's footsteps by putting the purple dragon's first three outings (Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! and Spyro: Year of the Dragon) into a single package with complete graphical overhauls and minor gameplay and accessibility tweaks.
