Am I getting terminally casual, or this game is actually difficult as fuck?
Art is incredible, but it feels like no one playtested it.

Pretty much spot on. Level design just wasn't well thought out in most of the levels IMO
nah you a lil bitch ass boy
>>3929358
So you mean you actually unlocked all cages without guide?
>>3929349
You know the game is about to get ugly when you get to the second area and the giant bugs start getting ready to jump kick you in response to winding up your punch
Rayman 1 is ridiculously crazy hard from what little I can remember of it.
None of the memories were happy ones.
Also why was he designed without limbs? I know the canon reason but what's the IRL?
>>3929369
Probably because it's easy to animate.

I tried playing it today on my vita but couldn't deal with him constantly automatically crawling to the left for some reason. Got really fucking annoying really fast.
>>3929364
Yeah because I'm not a casual

Dark Souls

I believe it's because of low resolution, which brings reduced visibility.
Also, they were inspired by Japanese platformers, and they are never easy
Yeah the game is quite unfair.
I remember 2-1 being a huge difficulty spike.

you should maybe question your reasons for being here
>>3929349
It is indeed. I remember owning both this and the sequel as a kid, and liking the latter better just because it was easier.
The GBA port (Rayman Advance) is easier. Butchered (missing some areas, music and has glitches) but easier. It gives 10 continues, 4 health points and "warns" (with little bright points) you when something appears.
>but it feels like no one playtested it
Wasn't that true though?
>>3929349
It's straight up one of the HARDEST 2D retro games. Only a few steps below Ninja Gaiden. Don't let it's cutsey facade fool you.
The only game I've played where I felt justified using the extra lives cheat code.

It's hard as fuck dude, Band Land gave me fucking nightmares.
>>3929349
it's pretty hard but I still fully completed it when I was a kid so I do think it was playtested.
>>3929349
I could never get past that boss that flings washing machines at you, back when I owned the game.
