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.
Spyro the Dragon is a platform game featuring a young purple dragon who embarks on a journey to rescue frozen dragons with the help of his dragonfly friend, Sparx. Players must collect gems and defeat enemies to progress through various levels, while the main antagonist, Gnasty Gnorc, poses a formidable challenge. This game was a hit at its release and established Spyro as a prominent gaming icon for the PlayStation.
