History YMMV / RaymanRedemption

* RemadeAndImproved: While the first ''VideoGame/Rayman1'' was largely acclaimed when it came out in 1995, is still considered [[SceneryPorn visually beautiful]] and [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic its soundtrack acclaimed]], its gameplay based on the progressive acquirement of powers didn't age as well, and its level design suffers from FakeDifficulty. This FanRemake lets you control Rayman at his full potential from the start, corrects the mistakes from the original level design and extends its content, notably by giving proper fights against [[BigBad Mr Dark]].

* BreatherBoss: Space Mama's third fight (the one in space) is arguably this, surprisingly, at least for veterans familiar with the original version of the boss. While she is by no means a pushover in this version, the original Space Mama fight was widely considered to be ThatOneBoss since many of her attacks required very strict timing and prior knowledge of her attacks to dodge and were borderline unfair. By contrast, many of the unfair elements of the fight in ''Redemption'' were removed and replaced with attacks that are fairer and easier to dodge, making the fight seem much easier in comparison.

* SelfImposedChallenge: One of the cheat codes triggers [[CollisionDamage Dark]] [[OneHitKill Rayman]] on every level... Naturally, people have been checking if every stage is beatable with him in hot pursuit.

** Were you expecting to fight Bzzit first? Nope, Darktoon is the first boss.
** Veterans of the original expect Skops to be a BreatherBoss just like before...only to get hit by his new and hard-to-dodge rotating claw attack.

** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXO9kdOjEoA Child's Play]]" is an exciting theme that transmits a childish desire of experimenting every toy and attraction of [[ToyTime Playtopia]].

* BetterThanCanon: A majority of fans agree the game blows the original out of the water with its vastly better level design and extra content. The fact players finally fight Mr. Dark, which only happened in the [[ReformulatedGame obscure Game Boy Color version]], is alone enough to convince most fans it trumps the original game.

This remake makes the progression more natural (as Rayman is at full capacity since the start) and extends its content, notably by giving proper fights against the BigBad.

%% ZCE * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Especially the new music composed specifically for the game.
* BestLevelEver: "Art Block", one of the new levels added for Picture City. It has just the right amount of challenge and has a very fun gimmick where Rayman can 'paint' platforms onto a nearby canvas with his fist, allowing for some very fun platforming and clever solutions to certain puzzles.

* AdaptationalBadass: Mr Dark. He’s way tougher here than before and now has three separate fights before he stays down.
