You've talked positively about 2 before, but what about the rest of the Rayman series?
I have a long history with the Rayman series! So I'll put it under a readmore
I used to play Rayman 1 a lot when I was little, but never beat it because it is Bullshit. You need to 100% it in order to get the ending. Not the "good ending" or "best ending" but ANY ending at all. You're not allowed to fight the final boss unless you've collected every collectible and some of the levels later on get Pretty Bullshit afhhgasf That said, the visuals and music for it are wonderful! And most of the levels, with their slow, careful platforming, are very fun and unique even today. I think, anyway.
Let's also include Rayman 2: The Great Escape, which is one of my all-time favorite games! I own like over 10 copies of it across several platforms (PC and 3DS are the best ways to play it btw) and have beat it more than any other game, easily (Sonic R runner up) It more or less reinvented the world from the first game, giving clearer lore, and a more mystical, immersive feeling to the fantasy world. The characters are endearing, the gameplay is tight and makes it super enjoyable to run through the fluid level design. Also the soundtrack is REALLY GOOD!!!! (Some of this might be nostalgia speaking but also I think I'm right probably)
Rayman M is FUN I love the music and visual design of the levels. It's not like. Good. Per se. There's basically no way to catch up once you're behind in a race, and the arena mode is pretty awkward, but I have a soft spot for it :>
Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc (which I'll be streaming on the 21st for charity!!) retains a lot of the cool mystique and creative fantasy from the first game, along with expanding on the wonderful artstyle. It's VERY 2000's with making Rayman more rugged and quippy, but not to any degree that really ruins the character. I like it a lot!
Rayman Raving Rabbids makes me Sad. It was supposed to be so much more than just a wacky minigame collection. Many of the minigames are fun! And if this was just a little spinoff from the main Rayman series it wouldn't be that bad. However, this marked the beginning of the death of Rayman as I knew and loved him. From this moment on, we just got more Raving Rabbids games. each subsequent installment focussed less and less on Rayman, until he was removed entirely, and wouldn't appear again until many years later. I was extremely saddened by this and hated the rabbids for a long time as a result.
Rayman finally made his return in Rayman Origins, which is critically acclaimed and the first thing that comes to mind for many people when they think of Rayman. I was Extremely Excited when it was announced, and like the previous games, the visuals of the game are beautiful. The gameplay is also fantastic, but I actually hate the story and how it portrays the characters. The game sends many mixed messages about what it wants to be, where it fits into the series, whether it's a sequel of a reboot, it's a mess. I was worried about where the series would go from here.
Rayman Legends validated my worries, by being even nicer to look at, more satisfying to play, and even worse in terms of story. The most half-baked setup for a story with no payoff. But hey it does have the music levels and those are the best so. I guess it evens out. (fun fact even though I don't like the two most recent games, I still 100% them ashfhgaf)
(bonus round) Rayman Adventures is like random small Rayman Legends levels but on mobile, they did a great job of fitting the controls to just sliding and tapping the screen, it was quite fun actually
Thank you!! Hope this was fun to read cause it's a lot hsafhgafs

What was your earliest Rayman memory? Mine was during the early 2000s where my old friend brought a copy of Rayman Advanced a GBA port of Rayman 1 and I was hooked.
Never beat it tho then I randomly saw Rayman 2 and got into that. Never had a chance to play Rayman 3 but I had a PS2 demo disk of it that I played nonstop
I don't really know which one was more early but I could remember that I used to play Rayman Raving Rabbids GBA and Rayman Advance - the former being more recognized for me while I basically gave up on the latter. I did gave Advance a second try in recent years but then gave up again because... well, it's a Rayman 1 port and the DS was not in the best condition due to age. There was also Rayman 3 which I never got to finished, probably because the disc was scratched up from what I can recall.
I don't remember how old I was specifically but I was pretty young at the time when I first played them. There's also Legends + Origins I played and those were the only Rayman games I've completely played through normally.
(also, I know this is unrelated but: Advance is my least favorite of the Rayman games I've played bc, separating from the fact that it's a Rayman 1 port with its difficulty, it's the "oversaturation" and the soundtrack that sounds worst than nails on chalkboard is what made me dislike it. I'm not gonna bash it because it is a GBA port after all but I'm just saying.)
