Emotions
The primary cause of disappointment among players is the replacement of the original soundtrack with a new one, which many feel does not match the quality or nostalgia of the original. Additional issues include the lack of an option to switch back to the original soundtrack, various technical problems such as input lag, frame freezing, and the requirement of a Ubisoft account, which further exacerbate the frustration.
Players are frustrated mainly due to the forced installation of Ubisoft Connect and the removal of the original soundtrack. Other significant causes include technical issues such as game crashes, lack of cloud saves, and bugs preventing level selection, which detract from the overall gaming experience.
Nostalgia is primarily driven by players' personal memories and enjoyment of the original game. Many players appreciate the return of a classic game and the opportunity to relive childhood memories, although the absence of the original soundtrack somewhat diminishes this experience for some.
Players appreciate the new soundtrack remixes and the collection of the first Rayman games. The inclusion of new content, gameplay improvements, and accessibility features, as well as the excellent CRT emulator, contribute to a positive reception.
The disappointment stems from the missing original soundtrack and the inability to switch back to it. Players feel that the new soundtrack does not live up to the original, which significantly impacts their enjoyment of the game.
