TLoS is not too dark the originals were just borderline childish, but then again arent we all

OVERRATED, just because you don't like it doesn't mean its overrated, its rated the way it is because its fanbase is bigger.

I really loved this game it was needed, the previous ones before TLoS were way too similar for way to long and the depth and slight darkness added to the game really immersed you into the world and made you care about the charaters.

In the LoS Cynder is known as "the black dragon, terror of the skies" but then in DotD they made her more of a dark purple.

@spyro_cynder88 well this game was to dark.... and well... the only time there was a dark moment in the classic (1-5) games (and well yeah...) was boss fights... (I play classic and skylanders)... Don't report me for saying this but..... I really don't like (Like almost hate it....ALMOST) the legend of spyro games....like.... The story changed like... BOOM!

I wish they continued from Shadow Legacy... Though I hear that it was -insert companies name here-'s way of turning over to LoS. If you think about it, it adds up at some point.

If you think about it all Spyro games have a dark moment. I think Spyro Shadow Legacy was darker than LoS.
