The developers have been shamelessly diligent in their recreation of the classic games, right down to the dated controls, and whilst that may put some people off it’s a very bold decision and one that, in our eyes at least, just about pays off. Spyro controls in a somewhat stiff manner, meaning you may be wrestling with the controls at times for what feels like no good reason. Spyro can charge, yes, but more impressively he can also breathe fire out of his gob and glide over longer distances than any Mario game (save Odyssey) would dare.
What he lacks in jumping however, he makes up for in combat and his piddly little wings. Spyro moves largely as you’d expect he’d a quadruped, so he doesn’t quite have the acrobatic skill of a certain red plumber who will remain nameless, and his move set is neither as varied as the Nintendo-branded, moustache-owning individual seen in the likes of Super Mario 64, nor as flowing. Gems are everywhere, and you’re going to need to grab them, as well as other collectables, in order to achieve victory. We’re not sure what jewellers exist in the Dragon World, but they’re nothing if their not diligent at their jobs but seem to have an issue holding onto their work on the walk home. He runs around fast and collects an awful lot of treasure which always seems to take the form of perfectly-cut gems. If you’re unfamiliar with our purple dragon dude, Spyro is a dragon.
