'Spyro Reignited Trilogy (2018)' is a ground-up reimagining of the first three 'Spyro' games. It's very faithful to those PS1 titles, recreating their colourful worlds and quirky characters with slick, stylised models and springy, cartoon-esque animation. The game doesn't feel dated at all, which is a testament to the excellent design of the twenty-year-old originals, and it will certainly please fans of the series. It's a lot of fun, with a variety of levels and plenty of stuff to collect. The game isn't massively challenging but it isn't too easy, either; it's perfect for all the family. The piece does lack some accessibility options - such as subtitles - that ought to be mandatory. It also doesn't allow for control remapping or let you invert the analogue stick input for its flying segments. For an able-bodied person with good hearing (or a quiet place to play), these things might not be a problem. For many, though, they'll be game-breaking. For as enjoyable as the piece is, it isn't all that deep. However, it's an easy-going experience that truly is entertaining, which is the most important thing of all. The subtle differences between the three games included here are also interesting to see. They're all of a similar quality, but take slightly alternate approaches to quest design and feature an increasing number of mini-games. If you like the three original 'Spyro' titles, you're sure to like this. If you've never played them, this is a great place to start. 8/10.
