Why is Spyro 2 so Cozy?

As a kid, would just swim in the autumn home land and vibe "living as a dragon" 😂

The sound of Spyro 2 orbs bounce is forever etched into my mind

I'm glad so many people feel the same way I do about this specific game. I used to just.... charge and jump around the homeworlds for hours, swimming and just chilling. This was the first and only game I consistently 100%'d repeatedly, was absolutely obsessed. 💜

Ah, my life pre internet. I miss coming home and playing this, and that's all I needed... ❤

I listen to the Spyro trilogy soundtrack everyday at least, and have for the past 24 years, If I need to calm myself, I listen to either Summer Forest, Autumn Plains, or Winter Tundra. If I have a comfort game... it's this series. Crash 2 music is a VERY close second, alongside AC2.

i remember just running around and chilling in autumn plains for the same reasons

Trouble with the trolley eh

Elora not being in Year of the Dragon while Hunter was is a crime

Stewart Copeland's soundtrack is stupidly good. I wish he made more soundtracks because they're so iconic.

23:34 Glad I'm not the only one to notice how satisfying the Shockwave soundeffect was

6:50 - I wasn't ready 😆

I think one thing that I really didn’t like about the reignited trilogy was how most of the NPC’s dialogue was made too generic cartoon character. In the originals, many of the characters had this casual snark about them that made them feel like realistic characters. It gave them a human element. In reignited, lots of the voice actors sound like they are trying to do a good character voice while reading a story book to a group of children. It gets the job done, and they don’t necessarily sound “bad”, but they just usually missed the mark on what made some of the original voice acting so good. Hunter in particular has a more “modern Sonic the Hedgehog” vibe in reignited that kind of takes away from the apathetic but lovable doofus vibe you mentioned he has in the originals. Also it kills me how they changed Juliet’s voice in zephyr. The joke with the originals is that actors in Shakespearean plays back in the day (Romeo and Juliet) were played by men, even the female roles. It’s actually quite impressive how good the original trilogy voice acting was, considering that voice acting in at the time wasn’t all that great; looking at you, resident evil.

13:04 I love saying no to moneybags! Some of his answers are straight up hilarious, especially in Spyro 3 😂 “What are you saving your money for, another sequel?” Or “What else are you going to do with all those gems? Buy flying lessons? Haha! That was a good one.” (2 of my favorite lines 😂

Bonus - with the infinite superflame powerup, if you quit to the main menu and start a new save file, the superflame will carry through into the new game, meanng you can play the entire game again with the superflame permanently active.

I always enjoyed that spyro 2 had openings and endings to their levels. The other two games didn't do it.

Colossus is such a good track. Absolute fire.

Spyro 2 is my favorite childhood game.

Someone ported Spyro 2 levels to Tony Hawks Underground Pro on PC, and it's a huge nostalgia trip for child me and preteen me.

This video was so cozy

My favourite thing about this game that I only realised after Reignited came out, was the voice acting, especially all the level NPCs. They all just sound so silly and stupidly charming. The monks from Colossus and Bo Beep in Zephyr being my favourites
