Rayman 2 Forever

The pirate villain Razorbeard really sells the whole invasion plot, and I loved how the level design makes you use Rayman's agility in ways that feel fresh each time. Took me back to my childhood and I finished it over a weekend, totally worth it.

The chase sequences where Rayman sprints through collapsing caves really test your reflexes, and they feel so satisfying to nail after a few tries. Razorbeard's voice acting is delightfully hammy, which kept me grinning through the whole campaign.

The game captures the pirate invasion perfectly—every level pushes Rayman’s agility to the limit, and saving the Teensies actually feels urgent. The magical powers are a blast to chain together, especially against Razorbeard’s minions.
