This is also an occurence where the controls and camera unfortunately work against, instead of for you. One particular boss in Spyro 2 especially comes to mind. Rarely though, there's an insane difficulty spike. These games are pretty easy, short, and light on story, which makes them a lot of fun to play in between more demanding titles. I am pretty unforgiving when it comes to camera and controls and I am pleased to say that there's really not that much to complain about here, minus a few exceptions like the hard-to-control dash when you're doing precise platforming or the skateboard trick controls in Spyro 3. That being said, the remaster really brought these games into the modern age because they look and play absolutely FANTASTIC. I have never played the original Spyro games because I only had an N64 at that time and no Playstation, so I have absolutely NO nostalgia for I have never played the original Spyro games because I only had an N64 at that time and no Playstation, so I have absolutely NO nostalgia for these game at all.

It knows what it is and doesn't try to be anything more. Most people would probably rate this an 8-9, but I give it a 10 based purely on my own nostalgia of the franchise and how grateful I am that we got an honest remaster without bloating the game with extra content to make it seem relevant. These games are remembered for their fantastical elements and whimsy, not brutal difficulty. You have to be perfect with some objectives. The flight levels could give some people trouble but that's about it. If you played the Crash Bandicoot remaster then know this follows a similar formula as do most PS1 platformers. These games aren't difficult by any means nor are they terribly long. Being able to play this is a dream come true. Spyro was the first Playstation game I got back in the 90s and I loved it then, and it was strange realizing how dated the polygons looked when I tried revisiting it a few years ago. The price for all three games is damn good. The controls are fluid and responsive, nothing feels stiff at all.

It stays true to the originals with only the major graphic overhaul and some minor improvements in other areas (mostly menu related). It stays true to the originals with only the major graphic overhaul and This is an outstanding remaster in the same vein as Crash Bandicoot.
