The first game will always be my favorite due to the simplicity. Minimal story and super fun gameplay. It’s the only Spyro game that didn’t get in its own way and just focused on fun. I like the sequels but can’t help but be annoyed when I have to do some out-of-place minigame. Great video!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I also agree that Spyro 1 had a great sense of atmosphere, but Spyro 3 was better in my opinion because of how it integrated all the good things of Spyro 1 and 2 into a refined package while adding some polish to some of the previous issues like the backtracking and such.
When I replayed both games recently I found that the texture work in Spyro 2 especially environment textures looks a lot better in 2, I think level art color and design choices are a lot more thoughtful in Spyro 2, Spyro 3 feels a little more rushed save for a few choice levels of course! :) lovely video sir!
Then there's us that think Spyro 1 is the best. Spyro 1 actually has more levels than Spyro 2 and 3 (not counting boses in 3 since those are just arenas) and more home worlds than all of the others. There are no clutter padding minigames to deal with. People are very swooned by Spyro 2's story + level cutscenes and the presentation + backtracking make the game seem bigger than Spyro 1, but this isn't the case. Spyro 1 is the only Spyro game I can think of going back to for casual sessions over and over. The others have annoying shit to deal with at some point. I am thinking of going back to play old game and omitting all the annoying shit I remember, just going for a basic completion which goes against my completionist nature in gaming. Wanna judge the games afterwards. This means no dumb minigames in Spyro 2 and 3 unless I like them.
I remember watching the Mr. F01 documentary back in the day. It's unfortunate that Universal put such pressure on Check Six Studios because the game could've been so much more if it wasn't Christmas rushed.
idk how you did it, but I felt like I went back into time and was watching an early RUclips video. much love, man. keep it going

Thank god for the RUclips algorithm, love these spyro look backs after searching for an egg in the remaster trilogy walkthrough

Don’t stretch the picture like that
Are you talking about how I zoom in on some shots in the video?
Now cover Enter the Dragonfly. Worst Development ever, even has documentary on RUclips.
