Played via the "reignited trilogy" on PS5.
This game had been on the backlog since the remake trilogy came out LOL. I had played it here and there, mostly as a way to pass the time. Forgot about it for a couple years and I've now finally beat it. I grew up with the Spyro games on the PS2 but never played the original. This game was fun, challenging and very feel good. The art style they went with is GORGEOUS and I couldn't stop praising the graphics every time I played. Levels were open but small enough to where they weren't too overwhelming to play in. The enemy variation in this game was pretty good with each world having pretty much it's own creatures to defeat. Bosses were really easy though but I'm not complaining. I will say the Gnasty Gnorc "boss fight" was probably the wackest of them all. Very anti climatic and just didn't hit like I thought it would. It was pretty difficult though with me having to retry the fight about 5 times. Overall, Spyro 1 is a good game for being one of the early 3d platforming games of the late 90s. I'll be playing Spyro 2 in my spare time as I finish up my playthrough of Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow.
