Is it still worth playing?

The first Spyro the Dragon, remade in 2018 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as part of the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, with levels the same size and layout as the 1998 original. The young purple dragon and his dragonfly friend Sparx cross the Dragon Kingdom to defeat Gnasty Gnorc, who has trapped the other dragons in crystal. Six homeworlds act as hubs, with portals to large, open levels where you find gems, free dragons and recover stolen treasure. Once you have found enough, a balloonist takes you on, and each homeworld has a boss and a hidden flight stage. Along the way Sparx is the health bar, taking a limited number of hits for Spyro. The remake adds skill points, a modern control layout, and a choice between Stewart Copeland's original music and a new arrangement of it. Open levels with something to find in every corner make each world worth clearing in full today.
