Hey everyone, it’s Kern here, back with another gameplay video. This time we’re finishing off the Spyro Reignited Trilogy. Want to watch the other games first?

Watch Spyro the Dragon gameplay.
Watch Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage gameplay.

As you can probably guess, the third and final game in this three part series is named Spyro: Year of the Dragon. Like the other two games that preceded it, the game was developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. Insomniac would later develop Ratchet & Clank for the PlayStation 2.

This particular rendition is from the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in November 2018. Later in 2019, Microsoft Windows and Nintendo Switch would get their own versions as well.

Like all games in the franchise, this one is a platformer. This time around Spyro and his buddies are celebrating the rare “Year of the Dragon”. According to them, this special occasion takes place when new dragon eggs are brought to the realm. You know how this goes. A big baddie comes to crash the party and the eggs are stolen. Spyro and his friends have to go and save the eggs.

If you’ve played a Spyro game before then you know what to expect here. Spyro: Year of the Dragon doesn’t make any huge changes to the general standard formula of its predecessors. Fly, charge enemies, breathe fire, Spyro is a dragon after all.

With bright world, mini-games, and Spyro’s signature style this is a wonderful game for kids and adults alike. I’d be remiss if I didn’t say that it suits family friendly fun. For that alone it belongs in any gaming household that may have kids around. If platformers are your style, this is a good one.
