I played all three games on the PS1 back in the day and hadn't thought about them since, yet the level designs and soundtrack immediately felt familiar again and hit me with a wave of nostalgia - crazy what your brain still remembers after more than 20 years.

Finally experiencing Spyro on PC is a treat. The graphical overhaul is well done, with most characters getting a redesigned look, and some cutscenes have been reworked as well. The gameplay remains virtually unchanged, which is exactly what you'd want from a remaster.

That said, not everything held up. Some minigames have aged poorly - either dragging on too long or suffering from slightly clunky controls. It's also clearly a console port: playing above 60 FPS causes Spyro to slowly drift while standing still, and in certain levels, high framerates prevent animations from triggering, forcing you to cap the game at 60 for those sections.

I 100%'d the entire trilogy including all achievements. Played it both on PC under Linux and on the Steam Deck, and it ran wonderfully on both. Had my fun and would recommend it to anyone who remembers these games from back in the day.

OMG, so nostalgic and fun. i feel like a little girl again <3 all my problems just melt away here. recommend

When lags - limit to 30fps
