Rayman (PSX) Review

This week we reattach ourselves to gaming's most popular detatched-limb protagonist with a look back at Michel Ancel and Ubi Soft's Rayman on the Playstation 1! It's a franchise which is often overlooked in the discussion of the most iconic gaming mascots, but in spite of that it's managed to sell millions of copies, and have an average metacritic score across the majority of its mainline games which rivals some of the biggest names in the industry. Before we take off to save the Electoons from Mr. Dark's prison, we take some time to give our predictions for Grand Theft Auto 6, and try a new segment where we have to guess the game based on 3 very vague plot-summarizing sentences! We called it Three (Sen)Ten(ces) to Yum(ight guess the game), but Andrew's not sure it'll stick...
