Rayman Origins

The game is excellent. BEWARE The game features an autosave mechanism without the ability to manual save. It does not create any backups, and the actual and only save file can be easily corrupted. Make sure you backup your save file often.

It may not top the original, which I would go as far as to call "perfect", but for a modern platformer it comes incredibly close. The visuals and soundtrack are nothing short of delightful. Worth every penny even at full price.

This game is great in sooo many ways... It has the most beautiful 2D hand-drawn graphics I've ever seen, full of paralax scrolling, and the animation is sooo fluid! It has funny, whimsical characters, an incredible and also funny soundtrack! As for the gameplay, it's platforming perfected. It has all the basic mechanics you expect from a platform game: jumping, stomping, punching (and charging), running, swimming and even wall running and shrinking. It has a great learning curve, as you progressively acquire those skills and learn how to use them. This game is also incredibly challenging if you want to get everything and play all levels! I really had some wonderful thrills playing through some levels (the treasure chases are amazing!!). So , to sum it up, this game is really worth it! ^_^

this game came completely out of left field for me. At the time I first played it i was lamenting that the latest Wii mario game was pretty lack-luster. same enemies, uninspired soundtrack, boring graphics. Rayman was a breath of fresh air. Solid platforming, fun and creative levels, wonderful soundtrack and all with an amazing art style. highly recommended if you like platformers also plays well multiplayer.

I got this game from the event Ubi 30 on Uplay a few years ago and, given that I hadn't played any Rayman game before, I didn't know what to expect. When I first launched the game, I was impressed by the beauty of the graphics and the music. The more I progressed in this game, the more I liked it, it quickly became my favourite game ever. The difficulty made me want to finish the game more than any other one and I achieved to finish it 100% a few months ago. As far as the level design is concerned, it's fantastic. The levels are very diverse and become more a,d more challenging (and sometimes frustrating but that's not an issue for me). The Tricky Treasure levels are great examples of funny and hard as well as the level unlocked after finishing the Tricky Treasure ones. So, this is an incredible game, probably the best one to start with the Rayman franchise and, in general, I'd recommend it to anyone.
