"The adventure continues..." "La aventura continúa..."
Hello dear gaming community of Hive. This is my first post around these new lands. I was former steem user but stopped since its policies changed. So... here I am talking about video games once more. I hope you can enjoy my post 😀 Let's begin:

A veces, recordar nuestra infancia nos hace atesorar todos los recuerdos de estar frente al televisor y pasar tardes enteras jugando videojuegos. Todas las risas, las meriendas y los regaños de nuestros padres... Tenemos tanta nostalgia del pasado que parece locura tener veintitanto y darse cuenta de que algunos juegos son tan viejos como tú.

This is the case of Spyro, one of the most beloved platformers from the 90's released for for the PSX.

The release of this remake made me a bit weary ─you know, with all the remakes of EVERYTHING we have these days. But if it's an easy cash grab by Activision is not up to me to decide.

I wanted to show you guys my experience with the remake, and yeah, I'll admit it, I'm kinda nostalgic about 90s games. However, being a young kid raised by a single mother reduced the amount of money I (she) could spend on games. So I could only play Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage. SO Everything that will be said in here (about Spyro the dragon and Spyro the year of the dragon)is from a new experience.

The plot goes around Spyro, the purple dragon, trying to rescue his community of fellow dragons turned into stone by Gnasty Gnorc. We, then, have to travel across 6 overworlds and rescue 120 dragon + 100 dragon eggs + 12000 gems with the help of our little friend/health-bar Sparx.

Enter the dragon... world __________ Entra en el mundo del dragón
On the first overworld, Artisans, we rescue a lot of artist dragons (yeah they also need them, you know), and of course... Artisans... Here you find the "realms" or levels you'll have to travel to

On the second world, Peace Keepers, we have to rescue all the warriors of the dragon world.

The third world is Magic Crafters and well... They craft magic hehe. We rescue mages and alchemists mostly on these levels.

The fourth homeworld is called Beast makers. They are the guardians of nature, or as they are depicted: the hippies of the Dragon World. It holds the realms in a swamp so the dragons from these land look like voodoo sorcerers.

The fifth homeworld is called Dream Weavers and it's full with dragons that read the stars, make predictions, and are basically crazy. I think these dragons had an amazing artistic work from the designers of the game.

The last world is Gnorc Gnexus. In here we find a mix of dragons that look a lot like all previous dragons.

Now that we visited all the types of dragons, let's talk a little bit about the game: was a good experience or did nostalgia fog it with huge amounts of idealization? The answer is... Yes, it was a good experience. It took me a little bit to get used to the new camera movements, but all in all the game plays smoothly. In terms of graphics the Switch version is the "worse" looking one, but I just don't care that much about graphics. If it looks nice, it's enough for me. And lastly, what's more important than any graphic aesthetic is the level of fun. Did I have fun? ABSOLUTELY. I loved this game and certainly I can assure you that it was, and still is, a good game.It was worth all the bucks
Here are some screenshots I took of some of the levels. The game look beautiful in general:
