I feel like this may have aged poorly, but I haven't played it in 20 years

Top tier platform/puzzle game. The 2 sequels were killer too.

It's aged very well for an early 3D platformer, outside some occasional camera troubles. Much tighter & more complex gameplay than the vast majority of 5th-gen 3D platformers, and I still think the PS1 Spyro games have some of the most satisfying underwater controls of any 3D platformer to date.

Some of the Supercharge sections are a bit much, though - Tree Tops in particular is kind of an ordeal.
