The remake is spot on, as far as I recall, and it was a real treat seeing a childhood game in new detail.<\/p>\n<p>I remember making the decision to go for the platinum in Spyro 1 because I thought it would be fun to have it for a game I&#8217;ve loved since I was like, I dunno, eight?<\/p>\n<div class=\"insert-label centered insert lazyload for-mobile insert-extended lazyload\">\n<div id=\"PS_MPU_X_H6987C5D6DA56E\" style=\"min-width:300px; min-height:250px;display:flex; flex-wrap: wrap; align-items:center; justify-content: center;\" data-dfp-id=\"pushsquare\/mobile_web_display\/article\" data-dfp-sizes=\"300x250,300x600\" data-dfp-targeting=\"pos=1,gto=false,experiment=nl-article-mobile-2\" class=\"lazyload\" data-dfp-refresh-direct=\"true\" data-prebid-config=\"Lazy_Load_HP_MPU\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It&#8217;s one of those &#8220;just do everything&#8221; platinums, I think, which is always a fun target to aim for in a 3D platformer.<\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t really play Spyro for a challenge, and frankly this is another quite easy platinum in my humble collection, but it&#8217;s a real heart pick for me.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe I&#8217;ll get around to the sequels some day, as it would be fun to have the platinums in all three.
