Which game should I start with?

[Jinx]

I mean I always tell people to start a series with the best game then go play the weaker titles if they like it. Or let's just assume I have no life and will probably only have time to play one.

I will probably play in order.

1 logic says you start with 1 xD
i wouldnt tell someone to start with the best game cuz then you move back to games that are lacking features

[meems]

Depends on your former experience with Spyro. I played them all as a kid, so I am going from the start. If you're new, I would recommend the second or third to start with. Because you can do more, and they are better games.

But true experience is 1-3 :)

They're on the same level since they were released in one game and barely differ in gameplay.

I've never played ANY Spyro game, I've never had a Playstation, I've been PC for the last 21 years lol.

I mean I'm just wondering how different they are. I would never tell someone to start the Witcher games with 1 because they'd get frustrated and never make it to 3 lol

They're fundamentally not that different. Spyro 2 added NPCs you can talk to. Spyro 3 added more playable characters.
The rest is mostly the same between the games. Start with the first one and make your way through!

spyro 1 you charge jump and glide to collect gems and dragons
spyro 2 adds new moves (hover is a godsend), NPCs and 'challenges' for orbs (instead of dragons)
spyro 3 adds new playable characters each with their own play style and collect dragon eggs

there are some characters in spyro 3 that are introduced in spyro 2 so i would play 3 last at the very least

start with the crash bandicoot series

Actually I saw those and they didn't much appeal to me. I prefer my 3D platformers less linear.

I'd definitely say start with 1 and work through in order, but it doesn't really matter too much, none of the games are objectively stronger than the others and its more a matter of taste. The stories don't really connect that well either and feel far more self contained than a single story branching over a trilogy. 1 is my favourite because the game feels more streamlined and focused, the latter 2 games add minigames and challenges for extra and more varied content, which is nice, but less focused on the actual levels.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the feedback! I'll probably just start with 1. (though I probably won't buy it till I get my next paycheck )
