With Microsoft's recent acquisition of industry titan Activision, there are a myriad of franchises that made their way over to Xbox as part of the deal. From somewhat niche series like Geometry Wars to highly-anticipated releases like Call of Duty, the fans of each respective franchise that fall under the Activision-Blizzard banner had their hopes for more offerings reignited, with one such fanbase being of the long-standing Spyroseries. It's as beloved as any game that has its roots in the late 1990's, and with such high praise, there often comes high hopes.

Spyro first entered the video game sphere with 1998's Spyro the Dragon, with the series going from strength to strength during the original PlayStation's life cycle, as the first three games were successful critically and commercially. However, time hasn't been kind to the character since the early 2000s, and subsequent releases were never as beloved as the initial trilogy. It's clear that the franchise needs a transformation, abd there is a recently released title that provides the perfect blueprint for Spyro's path to renewed success.

After a lengthy development cycle, Biomutant released in the spring of 2021 to a mixed reception. On one hand, it offered a fun, engaging combat system and witty writing, but on the other it lacked content and the innovation needed to make it stand out from the ever-expanding crowd of third-person action games. It found inspiration from a number of different contemporary franchises with its level design and gameplay loop, and though most comparisons are made to more current games, there are clear influences from games of old.
