''Rayman'' received generally positive reviews from critics. The GameRankings review aggregator calculated scores of 77.00% and 75.00% for the MS-DOS<ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/pc/198418-rayman/index.html</ref> and Sony PlayStation<ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/ps/915755-rayman/index.html</ref> versions respectively, while the Sega Saturn<ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/saturn/574547-rayman/index.html</ref> and Atari Jaguar<ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/jaguar/586903-rayman/index.html</ref> versions both received scores of 85.00%. The game's graphics and soundtrack received particular praise, along with its imaginative art style and complex level design. Criticism focused on its gameplay, which was regarded as solid but not particularly inventive or original. The game also drew criticism for its unforgiving difficulty; the player was required not only to perform very difficult platforming and combat manoeuvres, but also to locate and smash all 102 [[Electoon]] [[cage]]s scattered throughout the game in order to unlock the final level, [[Mr Dark's Dare]]. Many players did not complete the game due to its difficulty. | ''Rayman'' received generally positive reviews from critics.
