“Spyro Reignited Trilogy retains the magic of what made the franchise such a hit in the late 90s and early 2000s. There’s a timelessness that lives in the core of the Spyro games, proving that the franchise can easily contend with other big names in the nostalgia wave.”

| 33bits | Rubén Rionegro | 90 / 100 | 09-16-2019 | Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a perfect remastering of the original Playstation games, where everything is kept exactly the same but with a very dignified face-lift and according to the graphic power of the current systems. Stewart Copeland’s soundtrack is still one of his biggest claims. Perhaps it can be made easy for those who are used to the difficulty of current games and the camera is not completely accurate, but it is one of the best occasions to remember a little bit of history of video games. | Read review |
| 3DNews | Алексей Лихачев | 8 / 10 | 12-01-2018 | Three wonderful remakes which are definitely worth your time whether you are a Spyro fan or a new player who always wanted to know why this little dragon is so popular. | Read review |
| AbsoluteXbox | Ash Cohen | 4.6 / 5 stars | 11-18-2018 | I think they have done an awesome job with the trilogy, and to see everything that I remember across the three games, is truly magical, and fantastic. | Read review |
| Areajugones | Alfonso Cánovas | 8.8 / 10 | 11-15-2018 | Spyro Reignited Trilogy takes us on a trip back in time so as to not only dearly remember the original but also convince the player through new visuals and a gameplay with lots of fun. Despite the fact that the game may prove as too easy for some, and there are also several issues with the camera, it is still a great option when considering the cost and general quality of the game. Spyro is definitely back for good. | Read review |

| Attack of the Fanboy | Jacob Bukacek | 4.5 / 5 stars | 11-12-2018 | Spyro Reignited Trilogy not only does the original games justice, but successfully expands on the original vision behind them. This is Spyro at his very best! | Read review |
| Bazimag | Mahdi Eftekhari | 8 / 10 | 09-11-2019 | Spyro Reignited Trilogy might not be the best remaster to be ever released. But, it sure is a beautiful remake of three memorable games that would keep Spyro fans content. If you haven’t played original Spyro games and love classic platformer games, my suggestion is to not miss out on Reignited Trilogy as you would also enjoy adventuring through its colorful world. | Read review |
| But Why Tho? | Lizzy Garcia | 6.5 / 10 | 11-17-2018 | I am happy to see Spyro back on game consoles but do look forward to any patches or updates that address my major concerns in regards to accessibility and the controls. | Read review |
| Cerealkillerz | Gabriel Bogdan | 8.7 / 10 | 11-12-2018 | Spyro makes a fresh comeback thanks to the solid work behind the Spyro: Reignited Trilogy. The graphic overhaul from the team behind Toys For Bob is great throughout the whole three titles and will get the cheeky purple dragon some new fans. Constant framerate drops and not so well improved camera controls are the only setback in this otherwise great remaster that also should be checked out by fans of the originals. | Read review |
| CGMagazine | Preston Dozsa | 7 / 10 | 11-30-2018 | Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a solid remaster for those looking to play as gaming’s most famous purple dragons. | Read review |
| COGconnected | Erin Castillo | 85 / 100 | 11-12-2018 | If you were expecting a bunch of new content included in the revamp, you might be slightly disappointed, yet if this is all brand new and shiny to you, it’s more than worth its price tag. | Read review |
| ComiConverse | Jordan Samuel | 4 / 5 stars | 11-15-2018 | Spyro Reignited Trilogy pays homage to its original releases but doubles down on impressive visuals and updated controls making for a perfect winter platformer. Toys for Bobs respect the original vision while bringing in their twists. I hope Activision use this remake to bring us a mainline Spyro adventure in the next generation of systems | Read review |
| Critical Hit | Alessandro Barbosa | 8 / 10 | 11-12-2018 | The Reignited Trilogy feels well at home on the Nintendo Switch. Spyro is still fun to play in a world that looks great. Incremental improvements on all fronts, gameplay and otherwise, keeps the adventure throughout engaging, if a little cumbersome at times. | Read review |
| Cubed3 | Athanasios | 8 / 10 | 10-06-2019 | A brilliant remaster that has wiped the dust off the original Spyro trilogy and given it a lease of new life in the hope of introducing Spyro to a new generation of gamers. The Nintendo Switch feels like the most suitable home for a family friendly mascot platformer where so many primary colours are at full bloom, so it is a shame that it has taken such a long time for a port. The low level difficulty will be quite off-putting to seasoned gamers, but charming characters, varied worlds and a number of items to collect will keep younger players entertained for quite some time. | Read review |
| Daily Mirror | Matthew Osborn | 3 / 5 stars | 11-16-2018 | If you want a true blast from the past, Spyro Reignited has plenty to offer. The design, simplicity and cheeky grin on Spyro’s face really makes the game a delight to play. Levels have been remade to such accuracy that if you have an old Spyro guide laying around it you could use it for reference. | Read review |
| Daily Star | Ariane Sohrabi-Shiraz | 4 / 5 stars | 01-02-2020 | Igniting bouts of nostalgia for PS4 players | Read review |
| Darkstation | Sam Hallahan | 4 / 5 stars | 09-11-2019 | These words hold true as we near the end of 2019. And the added functionality of a handheld option further the possible enjoyment more than ever before. Comparing the PS4 and Nintendo Switch version reveals that you don’t lose out on much if played on either system. | Read review |
| Destructoid | Chris Moyse | 8 / 10 | 11-19-2018 | There are plenty of things in Britain that aren’t strong. The pound, the economy, my intestinal lining. But one thing that remains rock solid is our apparent nostalgia for the original PlayStation console. The launch of the PS1 was the moment that Britain apparently decided it wasn’t “dorky” to play video games, thanks to trendy marketing tactics by Sony and a lot of demo pods in expensive nightclubs.As such, games like Crash Bandicoot, PaRappa the Rapper, and other cutesy characters, that your average Terry would have balked at in ’93 as “for little kids”, were now super-cool icons for the late teen/early 20’s market. This nostalgic love runs deep even today, as exemplified by Crash’s domination of the UK Charts for not one, but two summers in a row.Me, however, I wasn’t sold. I didn’t care much for the glut of 3D platformers that swamped the shelves in the wake of Nintendo’s Super Mario 64. I was all about the punching and the giant spiders and the powerbombs. So, it’s with a bit of sigh that I received my review code for Activision’s Spyro Reignited Trilogy, which compiles three dragon-y adventures from the later years of the PS1. I played the original game way back when, but that has become a fog with time. Y’see, I don’t particularly care for the genre, or the characters, or the starry-eyed nostalgia surrounding Spyro’s brand.But the smug little bastard put me in my place, that’s for true. | Read review |
| Digiato | Arash Parsapour | 90 / 100 | 01-18-2019 | Activition managed to deliver a quite perfect platformer game with remastering Crash trilogy, now Spyro Reignited Trilogy continues this trend of reviving of old series. This could be an alert for companies like Nintendo that have the opportunity to remaster their old gems. | Read review |
| Digital Chumps | Alex Tudor | 9 / 10 | 07-27-2017 | The Spyro: Reignited Trilogy is a wonderful recreation of three of the most beloved PS1 games. Not only is it beautiful, but it’s a fantastic trip down memory lane for gamers looking for that quick hit of nostalgia. While it’s certainly not as challenging as I remember it being as a kid, that low barrier to entry is exciting for a new gaming generation. | Read review |

| Echo Boomer | David Fialho | Recommended | 11-16-2018 | Right off the bat, we have three fantastic games remastered and polished to a level that feels like they could be original games today. Spyro Reignited Trilogy is for old and new-school players. A nostalgic trip that offers hours of content in a charming and very focused collectathon platform. | Read review |
| EGM | Evan Slead | 8.5 / 10 | 11-15-2018 | Spyro Reignited Trilogy is the remastered collection that longtime fans deserve and the means to get newcomers interested in the purple dragon’s adventures. Toys for Bob has captured the spirit of the original three entries in the platforming series, popped in a few helpful updates, and created a beautiful visual landscape that gives new life to Spyro’s early journeys. The long load times and past mistakes from the original developers still pop up, but there’s no denying that this remastered trilogy is Spyro’s triumphant return. | Read review |

| Everyeye.it | Giuseppe Arace | 8.8 / 10 | 11-12-2018 | One of the most beautiful remakes on which we have ever laid eyes: a precious work, not exempt from slight technical flaws, but enchanting and dreamy even more so than it was in the era of its debut. | Read review |
| FNintendo | Sérgio Mota | 8 / 10 | 09-22-2019 | Spyro Reignited Trilogy lands on the Nintendo Switch with the three first games of the purple dragon series and the result is a triple remake that delivers when it comes to bringing the graphics and sound up to today’s standards and an experience that is in line with the original works. A welcome addition to the Switch catalogue which will no doubt appeal to players young and old(er). | Read review |
| Forbes | Mitch Wallace | 9.5 / 10 | 11-14-2018 | These are simple games by today’s standards, but really, I kind of think it’s what the industry needs—light-hearted, bright, satisfying, happy-go-lucky fun. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go 100% all the things. | Read review |

| Game Rant | Dalton Cooper | 4 / 5 stars | 12-03-2018 | Spyro: Reignited Trilogy is a faithful recreation of the classic PS1-era Spyro games with fun platforming and vibrant game worlds, though some aspects haven’t aged well. | Read review |
| Game Revolution | Michael Leri | 4 / 5 stars | 11-19-2018 | Toys for Bob’s recreation honors Spyro’s roots by using Insomniac’s style as a template and naturally expanding upon it without losing sight of the franchise’s soul. The result is a trio of titles that have brighter visuals, smoother controls, and more expressive animations while retaining the easygoing platformer nature that surprisingly fits quite well in the modern day. | Read review |
| Game Volt | Ahmed Hassan | 8 / 10 | 11-18-2018 | Spyro may not be as popular as Mario or Crash bandicoot, but we were pleased to see him play, fight, blow up the fire in a lively world with the same childish enthusiasm 20 years after our first encounter | Read review |
| Gameblog | Jonathan Bushle | 7 / 10 | 11-12-2018 | Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a good compilation with 3 excellent platform games from the first PlayStation. Redone from scratch, the game offers a nice new design but some technical flaws, and the gameplay feels a bit old, but it’s still a good nostalgic trip for the whole family this Christmas. | Read review |
| Gamefa | Amirmehdi Namjoo | 8.3 / 10 | 09-07-2019 | Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a very high-quality and well-polished remastered version of three of the best platformer games of the PS1 era. The gameplay hasn’t changed much but after all these years, it still feels fine and very enjoyable. The game had a complete visual overhaul and almost everything has changed and now it completely looks like an eighth-generation platformer. Some parts of the game –especially for the first game- may fell repetitious and boring after a lot of time. However, I can recommend this game to everyone who seeks an exuberant and fun platformer game to play. | Read review |
| GameMAG | GameMAG | 7 / 10 | 11-21-2019 | Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a beautiful remake of popular PS1′ games, which could be much better if the developers updated the gameplay and solved a few old problems. However, fans of the series and the genre are definitely worth a try. | Read review |
| GamePitt | Rob Pitt | 8.3 / 10 | 11-19-2018 | The Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a masterpiece in terms of its visual reconstruction of the original games, but it falls in a few other areas. Toys for Bob have created a beautiful, alive, colourful, and almost CGI animated world in which all fans of Spyro will simply adore jumping back into in order to relive their childhood. Sat on the sidelines with no modernisation support are those who require subtitles for the major exposition cutscenes as this has been rather annoyingly omitted from this almost perfect remake. All three games have a sense of progression as more and more abilities and mechanics are introduced, this makes all three games hours of fun and enjoyment for all the family in this family-friendly 3D platforming adventure. | Read review |
| Gameplanet | Chris Brown | 7.5 / 10 | 11-14-2018 | A perfect visual and audio upgrade to a bonafide classic that sadly can do little to bring its dated game play and simplistic design to a modern audience. Fans and kids alike however will no doubt find many hours of enjoyment in this expertly presented package. | Read review |

| Gaming Nexus | Zachary Atwood | 9.5 / 10 | 11-30-2018 | The Spyro Reignited Trilogy is an absolute pleasure and a strong continuation of Activision’s commitment to remastering classic games. For those who grew up with or loved the old Spyro games, I can’t imagine you won’t find yourself engrossed in the collective quality of these remasters. For those new to the world of Spyro, this game is a winner even without its history. Plus, a very attainable set of achievements (or trophies) means you can earn yourself some rewards along the way. | Read review |

| GamingTrend | Sean Anthony | 95 / 100 | 11-12-2018 | With three titles of great quality being redesigned to be beautiful even by today’s standards, the Spyro Reignited Trilogy burns bright. Little touches such as a unique design for every Elder Dragon, an attention to detail in the aesthetics of the levels, and a dynamic music system breathe life into what was already a lively collection. Spyro is back, and his games are exactly as good as you remember. | Read review |
| GBAtemp | Tom Bond | 8 / 10 | 11-17-2019 | Overall, I think anyone who’s a fan of Spyro, or 3D platformers in general, should pickup the Spyro Reignited Trilogy. Despite a few flaws, the games still play quite well today and, in my opinion, are well worth a playthrough | Read review |
| GearNuke | Khurram Imtiaz | 8 / 10 | 11-16-2018 | Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a better remaster than Crash Bandicoot Trilogy, but it is not perfect.

| God is a Geek | Chris White | 8 / 10 | 11-12-2018 | It’s great to see Spyro back in the picture, and with the remasters it doesn’t look out of place in today’s day and age. It’s a joy to play, but the charging and camera angles let it down somewhat. | Read review |

All these aspects make this game pack a joyful experience. | Read review |

| Just Push Start | Mark Fajardo | 4 / 5 stars | 09-06-2019 | Spyro Reignited Trilogy is pretty much all you could hope for in a remake. It feels like a modern version of the originals, at least as best that they could be, without too many dated elements to hold it back. While I would argue it didn’t age as flawlessly as one could hope, you get an absurd amount of bang for your buck and the ability to take it on the go is hard to argue with. So, if you want to have a blast from the past, look no further than Spyro Reignited Trilogy. | Read review |

| Nintendo Life | Alex Olney | 8 / 10 | 09-03-2019 | Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a wonderful love letter to a classic series, keeping everything that made the original games what they were, but slapping on a fresh coat of paint for the HD era. There are a few creaking bones showing their age here and there, but only due to the developers’ desire to keep things as accurate as possible.

Spyro Reignited Trilogy brings back the iconic purple dragon, allowing modern and veteran gamers to experience some of the best platformers with a modern touch. The updated visuals give Spyro a much-needed update similar to Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy but like that title, the core mechanics are still as strong as ever.

| Press Start | Matthew Zimmari | 9 / 10 | 11-13-2018 | Taking off the nostalgia goggles for a moment, Toys For Bob have done a brilliant job in revamping a classic trilogy of games. In updating the visuals and tweaking the controls, they’ve stayed true to the source material and crafted an experience so involving that you’d be forgiven for thinking this was a brand new game. Initial viewings had me concerned that they might not be able to live up to the hype; but on playing the game, for the briefest moment I was eight years old again – and I enjoyed every minute of it. | Read review |

| Slant Magazine | Jeremy Winslow | 2.5 / 5 stars | 11-19-2018 | In the end, it doesn’t matter what moves you unlock throughout these games or how many new characters you encounter because few truly innovative twists are offered to the series’s gameplay loop. | Read review |
| Softpedia | Teodor Nechita | 9 / 10 | 11-12-2018 | Spyro’s original adventures have been lovingly recreated in the Reignited Trilogy, so if you’re ready to fire up the legends again and explore a vast and beautiful realm disguised as a fire-breathing dragon, then you simply can’t miss this one. | Read review |
| SomHráč.sk | Martin Černický | 90 / 100 | 09-16-2019 | Spyro Reignited Trilogy is another proof that if you carefully recreate an older game, you can create a title that’s able to enthrall even modern gamers. With Spyro it’s even more so, because even back when it was first released, it was already more modern than Spyro’s colleague Crash Bandicoot. Give Spyro a chance and he will reward you with hours of great fun. | Read review |

| TechRaptor | Andrew Stretch | 8 / 10 | 11-26-2018 | Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a faithful recreation of the original three Spyro games for current gen consoles.

| The Games Machine | Daniele Cucchiarelli | 8.4 / 10 | 11-14-2018 | Toys for Bob managed to do justice to the original gameplay, improving (almost) everything else.

| The Jimquisition | Jim Sterling | Recommended | 11-13-2018 | Spyro Reignited Trilogy is out, which means nothing else matters. A rarity, in that it’s an Activision release without a nasty predatory catch, Spyro is a ton of fun and it’s held up incredibly well! | Read review |
| The Outerhaven Productions | Zachery Paikai | 4 / 5 stars | 11-26-2018 | Spyro Reignited is a shining example of a modern remaster for an old school classic done right. Spyro’s original series on the PS1 is now handsomely dressed in enhanced visuals, animations, and redesigns thanks to the team over at Toys for Bobs. All three games are presented in picturesque graphics that are right out of a Pixar film, bolstering lighthearted charm everywhere you look. The crisp and fluid controls still stand the test of time, echoing the overall craftsmanship of the originals and that unique soundtrack composed by Stewart Copeland is still drumming along to the beat of its own drum. Spyro’s original series translates seamlessly onto a modern generation of consoles. | Read review |

| Twinfinite | Hayes Madsen | 4.5 / 5 stars | 11-14-2018 | The fact that so little is, or needed to be, changed is a strong testament to the quality of the originals. The Reignited Trilogy only helps cement the fact that the three original Spyro games are some of the best platformer/collectathons ever made. | Read review |

| Wccftech | Francesco De Meo | 8.5 / 10 | 11-22-2018 | The Spyro Reignited Trilogy is the best way players have to experience the first three entries in the Spyro the Dragon series.

Sadly, some technical issues prevent the Trilogy from being the best remaster ever released, but it’s definitely close to it. | Read review |
