I 100%ed (120%ed) Spyro 1... I really loved it.

From a technical standpoint the game is really impressive. There's one shader in particular that I really love... the green semi-transparent stone:


I was kind of mesmerized by it.

Even though I liked Spyro 1, now that I just started to play Ripto's Rage everything feels way more alive! Although I do have one complaint about Spyro 2... the guide book is really ugly compared to the original.

Aaand I completed Spyro 2.

They must've screwed up something (it's definitely a bug... or shitty design...) because the bosses are way harder than they used to. It took me a while to understand how to fool the AI in order to get the "perfect" skill point in the second and third boss.

The second boss is basically a glorified aimbot... and the third one probably uses parts of the same code...
Gulp's (and Ripto's) projectiles will ALWAYS hit you if you run. Instead of running around as in the original PS1 game, you need to stand still, then walk and change direction as soon as he starts shooting... no need to dash.

Ripto is a bit odd because his behavior seems to be switching between two modes... slower projectiles that don't predict where you're going to be and projectiles that behave like Gulp's. Honestly I got fed up... and I cheesed him after I unlocked the permanent fireball upgrade.

It's a pretty decent port, but it's kinda annoying that the games misbehave in various ways above 30fps, and misbehave dramatically above 100fps. It was bizarre that the PS4 Pro/Xbox One X versions ran at 30fps to begin with, and now that the game's finally on PC, it has some major issues and there's no indication that Activision are going to fix them. Although I imagine they are listening to feedback.
