Lunar 🛸 ♾@outofprintarchive Brilliant game overall, but something always bothered me about it. In every other game, Rayman's main method of attack is to literally "throw" a punch; except in Rayman 2, where he throws weird orbs of light instead.
I never had the N64 game, but I loved it on my Dreamcast. 😊
@outofprintarchive I had the PC version at some point, but I didn't play it all the way through until the 3DS version

It’s kinda baffling that we don’t have a Rayman collection in this day and age where classics are celebrated and sell really well.
Then again, it’s Ubisoft… 🫩
Olive@outofprintarchive Immaculate vibes. It might not be the most fun game to revisit, but it's one of the few I can still see from a childhood lens and that completely carries it for me.
Whimsical with a tinge of darkness, and a perfect soundtrack that's atmospheric one minute and jazzy the next. Each level is distinct and you've no idea what you're going to get next.
A shame really that they stopped making ports after the 3DS. Back in the day it was effectively released on everything!
