It wouldn’t be at all surprising to learn that an entire Spyro world, along with all its associated levels, could easily fit inside one of Super Mario Odyssey’s kingdoms. For one thing, games like Super Mario Odyssey are just plain bigger. It’s true that platformers have steadily grown and evolved since the days of Spyro the Dragon. If Super Mario Odyssey or a similar modern platformer offered players everything that Spyro used to, then a Spyro remaster wouldn’t have been received with nearly as much excitement. Classics are classics for a reason after all, and often that reason has to do with having something most modern games lack. Yet, it may well be that even a truly modern platformer can still learn a thing or two from its early-3D ancestor. Compared to a modern adventure platformer like Super Mario Odyssey, the Spyro games are obviously limited. On the other hand, the actual game is twenty years old and it shows. It’s obvious that a great deal of care has gone into its artwork and overall presentation, and it’s capable of standing alongside just about every other title released in 2018. Like the Crash Bandicoot N’Sane Trilogy before it, the Spyro Reignited Trilogy is an odd mix of old and new.
