Not sure how I obtained it, but Rayman 2 was one of the first 3D platformers I've ever gotten my hands on. I remember playing it on PC with my older brother for hours. We would take turns — he would play during the platforming bits, and I would play for the on-rails segments and combat sections.

The whole experience was an absolute joy to play as a child. The difficulty was challenging enough to keep me hooked for hours, the music was atmospheric and memorable, and the gameplay was aged and janky but fun as ever.

I don't think I'll ever forget Murfy eerily whispering with his giant cheesy smile. Also, despite Rayman's friend being distinctly named "Globox," my brother and I bizarrely called him "Gobblelox."
