Much like its predecessor, Spyro 3 was already one of the finest platformers on the PS1 so this remake really has little more to do than apply a fresh lick of paint and otherwise looks to preserve the original experience as cleanly as possible.
Also like the 2nd game's remake, I'm a bit of a slave to nostalgia here in that I grew up with the original release and so aspects of this remake's presentation rankle me slightly. Some of the character redesigns and voices don't sit neatly with me, but that's merely me being old talking.
However, a more notable problem is that this remake, uniquely among the Reignited trilogy, seems to be more buggy than it ought. For me this was a relatively minor issue given the quality on display elsewhere, but your mileage may vary.
