Sometimes the true beauty of something is revealed in its simplicity. The first Spyro didn't have minigames and it didn't have a revolving cast of shitty friends. You freed your dragon elders and you collected gems. That was pretty much it. And it worked. The visuals are gorgeous and vibrant (for a PS1 game), Stewart Copeland's score is transfixing, and the whole thing has a magical and relaxed air to it. It's safe and comfy and cosy and everything has a warm hue to it.

A game that does so much with relatively little.
