Rayman
My buddy Rayman over here has gone through quite the change throughout his history. The first Rayman games were simple 2D platformers that were very enjoyable back on the PlayStation but then the sequels ended up being 3D platformers.
Turns out that playing Rayman 3D was a great change for our armless hero, but for some reason, the series grew stagnant until the release of Rayman Origins back in 2011.
What’s really strange is that we managed to get an entire spin-off series that starred the Raving Rabbids. It was a minigame collection that came out for the Wii and has since become its own entity. Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is an example of just prominent (and annoying) those darn rabbits can be.
Even with the Rabbids coming up out of nowhere, Rayman Legends soon came after Origins as a proper sequel and those games were simply fantastic and showed off how beautiful 2D platformers could be.
It’s been a few years since we’ve gotten a new game so it would be awesome to get an announcement at E3 2019 for either Rayman 4 or just a new sidescroller.
