What a way to finish the trilogy, truly.
This game is the perfect combination of the best parts of the previous games and balances them in genius ways, the lesser ammount of things to collect making it a breeze to just explore the levels, and the minigames that add variety but are now separated from the main levels, adding a bigger sense of scale and somehow making them feel less like chores.
Every level seems to want to add something new while maintaining the core mechanics of how Spyro can explore the world, in paper it can seem like a lot but when you play it is just fun, and that's what I think defines this game.
I can feel that this was a game where the main priority was to make it something fun to play, it made me realize how rare that is to come by sometimes in a video GAME, at their core these are just digital toys and Spyro 3 knows it and perfects in on itslef with this as a main philosophy.
Also, this game just looks great, the experimenting of color palettes is insane in some levels and most textures look beyond of what I thought a ps1 could make it look like. This is one of the prettiest platformers I've ever played.
This trilogy has become one very dear to me in the very short time that I have experienced it, and I'm happy I did.
