Marking three decades of Ubisoft’s limbless mascot, Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition on PS5 is a celebratory package aimed at fans of classic platformers. It sits in the same nostalgia lane as Crash Bandicoot and Spyro, focusing on tight jumps, momentum and playful level design rather than modern open world sprawl. If you want a colourful, pick up and play platform game that rewards timing and exploration, this is the sort of release that tends to hit the spot.
Who is this for?
Best suited to players who grew up with Rayman or anyone after a lighter platforming break between bigger PS5 releases. Expect brisk stages, secrets to hunt down and that familiar Rayman humour. If you prefer deep RPG systems or long narrative campaigns, it may feel slight, but as a palate cleanser it makes sense.
- PS5 format, for modern console play and convenience.
- Anniversary edition, positioned as a commemorative release for the series.
