With its enchanted storybook look beautifully translated into 3D, lush, vibrant colors, funny enemy designs, and clever jumping puzzles, Rayman 2 is platforming perfection. No arms, no legs, no problem for the little French creation that could.

Rayman is one of the first fictional heroes of my life. The creative design, cool powers and endearing voice and personality are still something to look up to even today.
But the most endearing part of Rayman is how this character is able to adapt to every sort of setting and environment that Ubisoft shoved onto him over the years. Party games, Dystopian TV shows, immersive 2D and 3D adventures.... math games.....
But my favorite of his adventures is for sure Rayman 2, often considered one of the best platformers of the past generation.
While I feel it has some flaws in terms of difficulty and camera controls, this games is absolutely magical in its potrayal of a dreamlike world, full of bizzarre events and haunting nightmares.
You feel captivated but also scared by the world of Rayman 2, a land you want to come back over and over again. The adventure to rescue your home from space pirates leads you to a series of shenanigans that always surprise you, and play on the overall mystical feel of the game, with a movement that feels natural and fluid at the same time.
It has a charm that I feel non other 3D plaformer was ever able to recapture. A timeless classic to check out if you are a fan of the genre.

I must replay this. My #2 favorite childhood game.
Incredible game.
A timeless classic, like many others from this era, Rayman 2 immerses you in a world with heaps of charm and atmosphere.
With engaging combat and lots of mechanics to keep the gameplay fresh, there is rarely a dull moment in the game's big adventure.
What really makes The Great Escape stand out though, is its levels. The environments are distinctly varied, ranging from the bright, lush jungles of the first stage, to the creepy, claustrophobic depths of the water level (still have ptsd from this.)
My only problem with this title would be some janky controls, having been left scratching my head regarding what the game was asking me to do at certain points.
Overall, I strongly advocate for this game, and think if you have the £s to spare, should give it a go.

Not really… I feel weak and my powers have disappeared
Nossa que saudades dessa estética do Rayman. Quando o mundo do jogo era místico, misterioso, e os personagens não eram todos psicóticos.
This is the game that put Rayman on the map. Great aesthetic.
