Using these base colors, a level'sĭetail is then defined using various shades and values along with small amounts of complimentary orĬontrasting colors. A level's core palette should contain only two or three base colors. In this game's case, each of the different home worlds have a unique color palette. This is consistent between all three games but is especially noticeable in Spyro 1. This game's use of color is subtle, but very clever. The visuals are wholesome and inviting, but so finely crafted that even the most pretentious of art snobs can appreciate them.
I bring this up because, to me, Spyro the Dragon captures this energy in game form.

The result is a movie that I really think anyone can admire. The surface-level story is incredibly simple, but beneath that is a shockingly deep and thought-provoking movie. There is still some conflict in the movie, but it doesn't unravel in the conventional way. Kiki operates at an incredibly low level of stress, yet at no point does it feel like you're watching a 'kiddie' movie. It's quickly becoming one of my all-time favorites. Not too long ago I had the pleasure of watching a movie called Kiki's Delivery Service. This is gonna sound kinda random but hear me out for a second… Click on the links to skip to the reviews of Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage, Spyro: Year of the Dragon, or Spyro: Reignited Trilogy. I didn't actually like them all that much when I first played them, but I warmed up to them with time. I didn't play Spyro 2 and 3 until a few years later. I must have been around 12 years old or so at that time.

I remember putting the first game on my PSP and playing it that way. My first proper experience with Spyro the Dragon was via the PlayStation Network. As I say that I am just remembering that I actually did play one of the weird, isometric GBA games (I believe it was Season of Flame). I remember playing the Spyro 3 demo on Crash Bash and really enjoying the skateboarding.
They were games that I always wanted to play but just never got around to. I grew up playing the Crash games and only ever saw glimpses of Spyro. I think Spyro 3 is still a fantastic game that is worth playing, so that should clue you in to how I feel about the other two.Īlso, 'cause I don't know where to mention this, I did not actually grow up with these games. I consider Spyro 2 and 3 to be almost equal in terms of quality with very, very slight preference given to Spyro 2. I'm going to give away my thoughts right now: The first game is my favorite in the trilogy and is as close as most platformers get to being perfect.
Those old videos of mine could really use an update… Hell, it might not even be the first time you've heard me talk about them. This is probably not the first time you've heard someone talk about them. If you're reading this you are likely, at the absolute least, vaguely interested in these games. I guess, in that respect, getting sick as an adult isn't so bad either.

I decided to take up the extra free time my sickness afforded me to play the original Spyro the Dragon trilogy in full and shoot me in the head if these games aren't some of the greatest of all time. Getting sick as an adult really sucks, but when you're a kid it's awesome you get to skip out on school and play video games all day.
