UEViewer VS ActionRoguelike

If you're lucky, the developers will have used a standard format to store their assets and you can just use an existing asset extractor to do the dirty work for you: Unreal, Unity, and Flash (.swf) are some of the most popular ones.

Many people use UE Viewer. sm

I extract models and textures from Deadbydaylight and Deep Rock Galatic using UE Viewer and import them using this Add-on.

I extract the models from the game with UE Viewer, and use this add-on to import them into Blender. The Textures for the most part (the tattoos are also extracted and for some materials like the skin I just use shaders) are painted and UV edited by me.

All things considered, this part is actually pretty easy if you know how to use Gildor's UE Viewer tool. There's a GUI you open and point to your game files, and it returns a bunch of packages for you to search through. Most of the time I was able to find the relevant models by simply looking for the level's prefix S_BW_Enter_*. This will let you export a .PSK file that can be imported into blender with a plugin.

I don't usually trust applications with really awful landing pages, but it is open source and you can try building it yourself: https://github.com/gildor2/UEViewer

Check out UE Viewer. You can download it from https://www.gildor.org/en/projects/umodel, and it is completely legal for use on Unreal Engine games. NB: you will need to specify the precise engine version of the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, so you may need to check the .exe file details. In addition, the exported models will be in the PSK format, so you'll need to download the Blender PSK/PSA importer addon. Unfortunately, this is no longer maintained, so you might need to download Blender 2.83. Hope this helps!

Originally I get 3d printer to print minis from Mass Effect series for our Dungeons and Dragons (that we play in scifi of ME). To get models I use program called UE viewer (aka umodel) https://www.gildor.org/en/projects/umodel . This allows you to export many files from a lot of games in Unreal engine.

Maybe UE Model Viewer can open them and export in a newer format?

A course that finally made Unreal "click" for me, after years of toying with it, was Tom Looman's 'Professional Game Development in C++ and Unreal Engine' course. The source for what you build (with the chapters available in the git history) is here. [1] It was based on a class he taught and so also includes homework, which I found infinitely more valuable than just following along in a 'Here's how to [x].' type lesson.
