Season of Ice is Spyro's first adventure that wasn't on the PlayStation, instead being a top-down action adventure exclusive for the GameBoy Advance, which is an extremely fun game in its own right, despite how criminally short it is. Having to re-visit long and arduous levels like Honey Marsh can test someone's patience, and the plethora of bugs still in the game also add to the challenge, since it would be very common for enemies to not drop their Gems when they're supposed to. The Ripto encounter can be a very tricky section of the game, especially during the final phase where it can be difficult to dodge his wide AOE attacks, but getting a 100% completion rate is especially difficult because of how frustrating it can be.
What really lets it down is that there's a severe lack of innovation that prevents the game from standing out, and while it doesn't quite replicate the intense difficulty of the previous three games, Enter the Dragonfly is still far from a walk in the park. Considering that it was the first mainline game not to be developed by Insomniac, Enter the Dragonfly was met with a lot of controversy upon its release, though many fans of the series have started to warm up to it over the years.
