Miracle from...
Miracle from the era of early platformers. Since this is an old game, allow me to open with some context. Rayman 2 was almost a 2D platformer sequel which made it as far as a fully functional prototype, but 3D was becoming all the rage. There is a huge leap in difficulty developing games in 3D, and it was mostly uncharted territory. Rayman 2 is a miracle because in spite of all this, it gets so much right that so many games fail to right up to the present day (2024). Satisfying control and weight to Rayman. Linear progression for a tightly-designed experience, but with enough openness to feel like a big world. A music score that smoothly adapts to the situation Rayman is in. Puzzles that anyone can solve with some thought. A sense of film and theatre. A sense of mythology. A balance of serious and goofy. Satisfying (if primitive) combat. I have read one reviewer call Rayman 3 "the best 3D Rayman", which upsets me because it is so difficult to make my case against a game that is clearly more refined. Naturally, everyone has their own experience. But I would assert that for people like me, Rayman 2 is a source of inexhaustible fascination; it is an epic quest and all-time classic that appeals to something inside of us, like older tales and films, an much-needed experience in the modern age.
