The first game in the Spyro series has been completely remade from the ground up. It stars the title character, a young purple dragon named Spyro, and his dragonfly friend, Sparx, who must journey across the Dragon Kingdom to defeat Gnasty Gnorc, who has overtaken the 5 dragon Homeworlds by trapping the other dragons in crystal and turning their hoard of gems into an army of minions.

Story

Spyro the Dragon is a fun - but relatively simplistic - collectathon platformer, and its new coat of paint - while visually gorgeous - doesn't change this. Spyro has somewhat underwhelming boss fights, a somewhat poor story even for the time, and I don't personally jive with how Spyro feels to control. I'm generally not a fan of the camera in the game, but I ended up getting used to it. I'd have preferred it if you could turn the camera while charging, and if the camera had far less acceleration and started at a higher speed. The camera in the speedway levels not being inverted - as with Spyro's movement - also really threw me off at times. I finished Spyro with every dragon and egg rescued, but I didn't particularly feel any desire to get every gem. Collecting all of these is kind of tedious, to the point that I decided to stop caring about them, even though they're required for 100% - to unlock the final bonus stage. The PC version of Spyro is a drastic improvement from the console one - running at not only framerates above 30FPS, but also at a properly frame paced 30FPS - but it does still have some issues. A properly paced 30FPS is only possible when capping the framerate using external tools such as Nvidia Control Panel - as the in-game cap exhibits the same issues as the console versions - and physics are unfortunately tied to the framerate. This means that using framerates above 30 can cause some parts of the game to function slightly differently, or not at all. I played through the game at 60 and didn't encounter any notable physics issues though - it was generally a far better experience than console provides. I encountered some framerate hitches from time to time - seemingly either traversal stutters, or perhaps even shader compilation - but these didn't drastically drag the experience down. Spyro is a pretty whimsical and fun game, but - even with the wonderful visual overhaul - it still feels like an early PS1 platformer, despite it actually releasing quite late in the PS1's life.

💯% Jogo super divertido , bastante intuito e com conquistas bastante fáceis para quem está a começar a completar jogos a 100%/Platinar. Estava a precisar de um jogo destes maios relaxado para finalizar o ano em grande. Aconselho a exprimentar. O jogo é mesmo divertido e ainda tem alguns níveis desafiantes.

Haven't played enough to write a full review, but definitely something I want to come back to as a casual game!
