After unveiling a spicy hot take on Spyro 2, Exo returns to discuss Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon; one of his favorite games of all time. Does the 2018 remake in the Spyro Regnited Trilogy do it justice? Will I stop referring to myself in the third person? Watch and see!

Note: So that I don't have to play each of these games five times, I've decided to focus primarily on Reignited Trilogy on PC. However, I'll still be covering ONE of the three console versions in each review. For Spyro 1, we're looking at the PS4 Pro version. For Spyro 2, we're looking at the Xbox One X version. For Spyro 3, we're looking at the Nintendo Switch version.
