Rayman

89 %

1995 PlayStation

  • Challenging difficulty
  • Distinctive, stylised art style
  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic 2D platformer starring the limbless Rayman, who hovers with his helicopter hair and throws fists through lush hand-drawn, colorful worlds. Precise jumping and a fairly steep difficulty define the experience.

Disney's Aladdin

Fantasy setting

A classic 2D platformer based on the Disney film: Aladdin jumps, swings and fights with his scimitar and thrown apples through Agrabah, the Cave of Wonders and the palace. Its cartoon-style animation and film music are the main draw.

Rayman Jungle Run

Fantasy setting

A fast auto-running platformer in the look of Rayman Origins: Rayman sprints through vibrant jungle levels while you time jumps, punches and glides precisely. Easy to pick up, with tougher bonus levels for skilled players.

Bayonetta

Fantasy setting

A supremely stylish character action game where the witch Bayonetta battles hordes of angels using Witch Time, precise dodges and absurdly over-the-top finishers. Deep combo mechanics, colossal bosses and plenty of tongue-in-cheek charm.

Super Meat Boy 3D

Challenging difficulty

A brutally tough 3D platformer where you play a cube of meat dashing and leaping through short, precise courses to rescue your girlfriend. Instant retries, macabre humor and high difficulty define it.

Gitaroo Man

Lots of humour

A quirky rhythm game in which a shy boy wields a magical guitar to save the universe. It offers beat-driven boss duels, a wild cartoon look and an infectious soundtrack.
