The Reignited remake of the first Spyro the Dragon game, Toys for Bob succeed here in modernising and reinvigorating the game that started it all.
When it was released on the PS1, the original version of this game was good but definitely had a few quirks that held it back. The Reignited version removes every one of them, presenting a rendition of Spyro that controls tightly, with clear and easily parseable information about the collectibles in each level.
It's also brimming with personality. All of the dragons and the realms they inhabit have been updated with unique designs that fit the theme of the hub worlds, which might seem like a small and inconsequential change but adds a ton of colour to the game's setting. If there is a drawback to Spyro Reignited, it's that it's a faithful remake and therefore brings the foibles of the 90s era of platformers to the fore.
