The game has higher emphasis on puzzle-solving and exploration compared to its predecessor and gameplay mechanics are introduced to change up combat encounters.
Upon release, The Eternal Night received mixed critical reception. The third and final entry in The Legend of Spyro trilogy, Dawn of the Dragon, was released in 2008.
