5☆ - I personally believe this is the peak of Skylanders games. With all previous Skylanders being playable plus new ones, with the villain trap mechanic being extremely creative and fun, with skystones getting me hooked on deckbuilding card games. I find Trap Team to be a game I continuously find myself thinking about even though I haven't played it in nearly 10 years. Trap Team is the reason I want to come back to Skylanders one day, and still hold onto hope that remakes or a new addition to the franchise arrives, because it really is one of my childhood favourites. Nostalgia +1☆.
This really should be two entires for handheld and console. they were completely different games. Skylanders are pretty much all the same until superchargers, and they're all enjoyable. The concept works and feels more rewarding the more you play of it. This one, in particular, stood out to me for having some weirdly compelling sound design and a few pieces of incidental music that live in my head SO rent-free.
Seriously, look up Ulrich Rassy, Noisekraft. the whole album ended up on spotify at some point. Phantom Ship is fucking bone-chilling to me.

Now I will admit first hand this is mostly nostalgia bias towards this game as it’s one of the things I loved when I was like 7 or 8
While nowadays I understand the gimmick is a scam with it basically having half the gane be on disc dlc of course when I played this almost a decade ago I wouldn’t have known but the gameplay is mostly fun for what it’s trying to be of course due to it being a game made by activision the on disc dlc stuff is to be expected but at least unlike cod you get a real life item to keep with it

Honestly, I think this one is my favorite out of the entire series. The story is pretty neat, the new characters are pretty cool, you can even play as the villains (albeit that's locked behind buying "traps" to use to catch the villains). While it does suck being forced to buy Trap Team masters to 100% the game, it's still a blast to play nonetheless. My favorite part is doing all the side challenges, especially the ones for the tower defense game.
