Rayman® Forever

Game can not be installed with Lutris, Bubbles and POL.

The truth about this game is that it came out from nowhere. With awesome graphics, superb music, just the right difficulty and many more. For everyone who loves arcade games - this one is the one you HAVE to have :)

Rayman is easily one of the best 2D platforming games ever, with amazing visuals, charming characters, secrets around every corner, replayability, and what´s better than all, a really good and tight gameplay. Like in every good platforming game you control the character, and you will rarely feel cheated. Most times you die, the fault is yours and only yours. All the movements in the game (except maybe one) are awesome and really useful. Each time you get one, you feel invincible, until you get to the next level and you are required to start mastering that new move too. The game has 6 worls and it can get really challenging starting just at the second one. I know this game like the palm of my hand, and I still die a lot. I recommend this game to anyone that loves good platforming games, and I encourage them to try Rayman Designer after finishing the core game. It has some nice and challenging levels, and a powerful editor where you can make some impressive levels. I haven´t played much Rayman by his fans though, but the levels seemed to be worse than Rayman and Rayman Designer ones, too nooby levels. Anyway, pick this game up, you will get one of the best games in the genre, and personally the best Rayman game ever (although I liked 2 and 3 too, they were never the same), a powerful editor with some hard levels, and even some levels if you still want more. And mind you, this game was already unplayable on XP without DosBox, so it´s awesome to have it on GOG.

As a kid I owned a copy of Rayman 1 and it was an instant favorite, I also owned a copy of Rayman Forever but since the days of windows 95/98/2k/XP has pasted and vista/win7 now rule the day, I couldn't play old games because they weren't compatible with the current gen OS's. I am so glad that I stumbled across this site its like a door way to the old and best classics.

I played Rayman for endless amounts of time when I was little, and it is one of the games I have the fondest memories of. I love everything about this game; the fluid gameplay mechanics, the beautiful environments, the challenge that steadily increases as you get towards the end, and last but probably most important, the music. One thing I particularly enjoy is the control you have over your character. You are going to die in this game, a lot. But I never felt like it was because of faulty or unresponsive controls. If you die, it's your own fault. Even though the game is at a low resolution which results in incredibly pixelated graphics, it really looks stunning even by todays standards. The backgrounds and the level design and the tiny details that can be found everywhere makes for a really beautiful game. The challenge this game presents is not for the faint hearted. As mentioned you will die a lot, and it can be incredibly frustrating. If you find yourself dying at a specific point repeatedly take a break from the game and come back refreshed, because you will end up literally yelling because of the games difficulty. Even today, this is the game against which I compare all other platforming games. If you haven't yet, try it out.
