Topic: Spyro Reignited Trilogy --OT--

Spyro 2 done in just over 9hrs with the platinum.

This is the only one of the trilogy I didn't play originally. I still enjoyed it overall but it felt weird to not be saving dragons. The difficulty is certainly a step up from Spyro 1 as @RogerRoger said, particularly the bosses (and especially to get the trophy for the second main boss!).

On the whole, the challenges to get the additional orbs were quite sound and clever ways of using the base controls in different ways. I liked the ice hockey one in particular. Some were a bit of a faff though and dragged things out a bit.

I also found the hover function when gliding to be a bit hit and miss. It seemed like if you used it to near to the edge of the area you were aiming for, then it just cancelled your flight rather than give you the slight boost in height you were after. Particularly frustrating if it meant you then had to backtrack to try again, or landed in lava etc instead. The inability to not have inverted Y axis controls when swimming was also a little baffling.

@RogerRoger Yeah, I've got Spider-Man to come next. Like I said above, I played the Crash trilogy with a different game between each of those and am doing the same here (Jurassic Park was the gap between 1&2 here).

With the second game, it also had a pet peeve of mine in having certain sections blocked off until you had an ability acquired later on. It makes sense in some games (like Guacamelee) but here it just meant you had to drag yourself back through a level to break one chest or get one orb.

@KratosMD By the time you get through all those games you've just bought, they will have probably reprinted for PS5!

@KratosMD That's true, I remember how disappointed you were when it materialised that only the first game was on the disc.
