Spyro Trilogy PS4: A Joyful and Nostalgic Adventure

The Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a seriously good remaster that takes you back to the world of classic 3D platformers with ease. As I revisited these beloved worlds with Sparx by my side, I felt a sense of comfort and relaxation wash over me. The changes made to the original games are done in a way that heightens the source material without sacrificing the essence of what made Spyro great.

One of the most impressive aspects of the remaster is the art overhaul. Characters like Hunter and Sheila have been reimagined with stunning visuals, making them almost unrecognizable from their classic counterparts. The attention to detail is remarkable, capturing the unique beauty of each biome in a way that's both nostalgic and fresh.

The initial download size may seem daunting (over 60 gigabytes), but it's well worth the effort once you start exploring the regions. Unfortunately, some players may be left out due to the lack of subtitles, particularly those who rely on them to engage fully with the game experience. This oversight is surprising, especially given the availability of subtitles in other games.

Despite this minor drawback, I highly recommend experiencing the new controls and music, which have been polished to perfection. If you find yourself missing some of that classic Spyro charm, don't worry – the options are there to revert back to the original control scheme and music.

Platforming in Spyro Reignited is excellent, with a sense of precision and challenge that makes it feel like your own fault when you fail (not the game's). Some may argue that losing some of the classic clunkiness makes it less true to its source material, but I believe the developers have recreated this lovable purple dragon and his adventures with great care and consideration.

The balance between classic and modern elements is perfect, creating a game that is both nostalgic and polished. For me, Spyro Reignited is incredible and could possibly be my favorite 3D platformer of recent times. The industry's recent trend of remastering childhood favorites has been delivering some amazing results, and the classics from the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 era remain unmatched.

As someone who reviews nostalgia-fueled remasters of classic 3D platformers, I'm thrilled to have had the chance to play Spyro Reignited Trilogy. If you're a fan of the series or just looking for a joyful gaming experience, this is definitely a trilogy worth revisiting.
