Activision Keeps Adding New Games to Xbox Game Pass
The Spyro: Reignited Trilogy is a collection of three games, Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage, and Spyro: Year of the Dragon. All three were originally developed by Marvel’s Spider-Man studioInsomniac Games. This triple-A remaster/remake was created by Toys for Bob, the developer of the original Skylanders title. It makes sense Toys for Bob took over the project because of its history with the franchise, and the studio nailed it. It also madeCrash Team Rumble. The collection has an 81OpenCriticscore with 84% of critics recommending the title.
Spyro Reignited Trilogy Isn’t Totally Outdated
“The Spyro games were legitimately great for the time, though, and thanks to a near-perfect balance between preservation and updating, Spyro Reignited Trilogy is every bit as excellent by today’s standards,” saidour review. “There are rare moments of 90s awkwardness (Spyro on a skateboard, dude!) but those are few and far between, and the vast majority of the game is spent in a timeless cartoon-fantasy setting running, jumping, and breathing fire through endlessly creative levels.”
Game Rantalso loved the game with an eight out of 10 review. “If nothing else, the studio’s excellent work on Spyro: Reignited Trilogy shows the franchise in good hands, and a new game could address some of the poorly-aged elements and other fan complaints.” Hopefully, those who haven’t played the Reignited Trilogy will jump into the series for the first time or revisit it after many years. Perhaps a sequel could be on the horizon.
