The games are a reboot of the original Spyro series, featuring updated graphics and a more mature tone. The protagonist, Spyro, is a purple dragon with the ability to utilize multiple elements, making him special in the game's universe. In each game, Spyro embarks on a quest to defeat the dark forces and prevent the release of the Dark Master. The trilogy received mixed reviews, with some praising the gameplay and story, while others criticized the divergence from the original Spyro games.
