The worlds are fairly expansive, with a similar art style that’s been kept the entire way through. This is still a lovely simple platformer where you fly around blasting enemies and saving dragons. It’s also worth noting that certain visual effects are turned down to keep it running smoother, that aside it does still bring the same charm as before. Comparisons aside, this is fine when on the go yet still leaves something to be desired on the big screen. Hopefully they can get it running better, I’m mostly just used to a higher quality from the Xbox One X iteration. There was also a sort of netting quality to the shadows of the undocked version, but not a huge negative. Again, it runs fine while undocked for mobile play but when on the big screen it had issues. I found it to run rather fine while undocked, but when docked there were numerous performance issues across each game. The visuals are certainly charming with this version, but on the Nintendo Switch it does have some issues. There’s a good sense of progression between the games, and it’s neat to see how the titles do expand while feeling similar which is great. You may also need to gather some gems to unlock new abilities, or to gain access to additional areas for progression.

This aspect slightly changes game to game, and offers hours of extra content as you gather the hidden secrets that are available within the world levels. There are other side collectibles to gather as well across your journey. You’re generally freeing dragons throughout the games, though this does slightly change as you continue to play. The narrative is straight forward, and is developed further as the series progresses. The charming little Spyro returns with the authentic style, that feels better than ever in this visually overhauled experience.

This is a rather special release, and it’s great to see it finally arrive on the Nintendo Switch after having been available on other platforms prior. The entire series of games have been revamped from the ground up to provide some rather remarkable results. The included releases are Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! and Spyro: Year of the Dragon which were all originally created by Insomniac. These are individual games that have been bundled together, and now provide a cohesive experience. The Spyro Reignited Trilogy really is a rather lovely package, being a remastered collection of iconic titles.
