He can breathe fire, charge with his horns, fly and barrel roll. However, Spyro has some moves up his tail. When you start a new life, Sparx glows a bright golden hue and changes color, and finally disappears, as you are attacked, leaving Spyro completely vulnerable. Spyro is always followed by his best friend, Sparx the Dragonfly, who acts as his health meter. In a game world that is so open and large, much like Skyrim and Jak and Daxter, the main character must be accompanied by an ally. Spyro the Dragon strikes the perfect balance between a strictly chronological story-mode game, such as The Last of Us, and an open-world game, such as Fallout. But because you don’t need to complete the portal missions in order, you can freely travel in and out of the levels as you choose, giving the game a personal touch. Each world contains a series of portals that transport you to various levels. You start in the Artisans Homeworld and make your way through each world until you reach Gnasty Gnorc’s world. The idea of the game is very basic: You play as a young purple dragon named Spyro, who seeks to free the adult dragons from crystal bonds cast by the evil Gnasty Gnorc. It opened PlayStation up to new possibilities and showed gamers that Sony had the capacity to make a game that was both aesthetically pleasing, relatable and smooth-playing. The 1998 Insomniac Games classic was praised for its stunning 3D graphics (for the time) and high replay value.
If you’ve ever heard of PlayStation, chances are that you’ve also heard of Spyro the Dragon. You would get stuck on a mission in a game, such as Santa Claus Saves the Earth, but there was never any motivation to fight through the challenge due to poor gameplay and plotlines. When PlayStation started up twenty years ago, the games that were coming out weren’t all that great. No game had ever done that for me before, and my mind was opened up to the fact that a video game could be much more than just a game - it could be a learning experience and picker-upper when things weren’t going well. Spyro the Dragon was the first game in which I could connect with the protagonist to the point where I thought of the character as a friend and mentor. It was a time when my innocent mind allowed me to completely escape from the real world and insert myself into this fantasy that I loved so much. I was so connected to the game that I started dreaming that I was in his world, helping him along his adventures and guiding the way against the evil Gnorcs. I could always count on Spyro to be just one click of a button away in my room, waiting for me to guide him through the next challenge.
