I appreciate music in games that's understated enough to not be ever-present, but matches the pace and emotion I'm feeling at just the right moments. It definitely meets up with my perfect meter of video game music. It's fun and catchy and not so overpowering that I hear it all the time. If I'm being honest, eight-year-old me probably didn't fully appreciate Spyro's music at the time, but twenty-five year old me took plenty of time to marvel at the music in Spyro Reignited.
