Rayman 1

Le jeu

Rayman, released for the PlayStation in 1995, was a vibrant 2D platformer that introduced players to Ubisoft’s now-iconic limbless hero. Known for its hand-drawn art style, colorful environments, and whimsical music, the game stood out at a time when 3D graphics were beginning to dominate. Players guided Rayman through beautifully animated worlds like The Dream Forest, Band Land, and Picture City, each filled with tricky platforming challenges, enemies, and Lums to collect. Despite its charming look, the game was notoriously difficult, requiring precise jumps and patience to progress. What made Rayman special was not only its polished visuals and atmosphere but also its unique protagonist, who attacked enemies with floating fists and gained new powers as the adventure unfolded. While brutally tough, it became a beloved classic that laid the foundation for one of Ubisoft’s most enduring franchises. PSX
