Rayman® Forever

Rayman Forever is a great game marred somewhat by a weak release on GoG. Parts of the soundtracking gone missing are the highest offense, but the fact remains that this game is still worth playing even if this is the only version you can play. Rayman has a unique artstyle and level design that's charmingly different than its competitors, but don't let its cute aesthetic fool you. This game has an insane level of difficulty, and I would only recommend it to experienced 2D platforming fans. If you want to hop into the Rayman series for the first time, you may be better served by jumping right into its 3D sequel. For my full thoughts, check out the video review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnTCYVO5Yb8&t=17s

Rayman is maybe the most colourful platform of the 32-bit era, it's graphically amazing and it has one of the best soundtrack you can find in a platform game, unfortunately it is VERY HARD, I can easily say it's like the Dark Souls of its genre. I needed one month to complete the game, the ending sequence is really poor compared to what the game asks you to do to complete it. Apart from that it's a great game that deserves your attention

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.
