Reviews
(1)Spyro the Dragon is a game that takes us back to simplicity in gaming. Colourful worlds, simple mechanics and fairly basic level design. However, it brings brilliance to the table in all of those simplistic areas and acts as the perfect escape from the real world. The soundtrack is brilliant, the art direction is vibrant. If you’re looking for a relaxed, adventure-platforming experience, Spyro should be your next go-to.
