Spyro 1998: The 3D Platformer That Never Tried to Be Hard (playstationcouch.com)

Spyro in 1998 had no precision jump and no memorable villain. It had 12,000 gems and a glide that forgave almost everything. Is that what puts it above many “serious” 3D platformers?

Spyro wasnt really about difficulty. It was about collecting shit.
