Canis_Infernis reviews Skylanders

    Now that we've discussed my least favorite skylanders, it's time to go over my favorite skylanders. In my opinion, every game has it's share of amazing skylanders. Even Giants, the game with the weakest roster, has skylanders that I absolutely love. Sure, they're not all perfect, but the ones that are are the main reasons for why I keep playing these games. Everyone has their favorites, and I'm no different, so let's get into the list and analyze these ten (technically eleven) skylanders.

      Obviously, not every single skylander is amazing. This isn't to say that a lot of them are bad, but there are some skylanders that people would point to and call them one of the worst. As shown in my reviews, there are really only five skylanders that I don't really like, so this really could've been a top 5 list. However, I decided to make it a top 10 list because the majority of the least favorite skylanders lists that I've seen are top 10s and I also think that it would be interesting to have a least favorites list where the first half is mostly skylanders that I think are okay. Also, if your favorite skylander is on this list, that is perfectly fine. There isn't a single skylander that I actually hate and it is possible that I need to play as these characters more. Anyways, let's get into the list and discuss the skylanders that could honestly be better.

      The main gimmick of Trap Team was the ability to capture bosses and mini-bosses and playas them as if they were actual skylanders. Like I said in my ranking of the normal villains, the quality of these guys varies from fantastic to pretty bad. This list is meant to highlight the villains that I consider to be the best. I know that these kinds of lists are incredibly different, but this is personally how I'd rank these ten villains. Anyways, let's get into this list and rank some reformed villains.

     I promise that this will be the last change to the 2020 Christmas week release schedule. I was originally going to rank the level pack skylanders, but the ranking got out of hand and I wanted to do something simpler. The starter pack skylanders are usually the first skylanders that the player would use when they first get the game. There are some that get a bad wrap while others are fan favorites. Personally, in my opinion, not all of them are amazing, but there are some real gems. Anyways, I didn't prepare an intro paragraph for this list (this was literally made on it's release date), so let's get into the list before I make things any more awkward.

      I know that in my recent update post, I said that I would be releasing a ranking of the Kaos final boss fights today, but after thinking about it some more, I realized that for that kind of list, I would need a proper rating system and I don't have that (yet). As a replacement, let's talk about skylander designs. I know that many people factor the design of a skylander into their overall rating (a skylander with a 5/5 moveset would only get a 4/5 because they don't like their design), but I tend not to because it doesn't affect their overall gameplay. However, that doesn't mean that I don't have an appreciation for skylander designs. While there are definitely designs that I like more than others, there isn't a single design that I dislike. That's mainly because to me, each design has it's own unique features. With that being said, this was a bit of a tough list to make, but I managed to put something, so let's take a look at the designs th...
