Spyro the Dragon
Spyro the Dragon may be divisively easy and not up to par with the Ratchet & Clank games in the writing department, but if you're into the classic, collectathon 3D platformers of the '90s, then this represents the foundation upon which many were built. Its broadly appealing yet simple gameplay, gorgeous stages, quality art direction, and innovative soundtrack combine to create a game that's truly, as they say these days, fire.
