This is the first Rayman game I've played and I was pleasantly surprised as to how good it was. Being a 90s kid I was brought up on classics like the Sonic games, Earthworm Jim, Castle of Illusion etc, I've played recent incarnations of Sonic like Sonic 4 part 1 and 2 and it's clear Sega forgot that what made Sonic so good back in the day was the near perfect level design and "physics", it's hard to put into words but the way the character moved and landed after jumps etc felt right, and the problem with new platformers is that they place enemies in random ill thought out positions leading to frustration. Rayman Origins has none of those issues, the animation is top notch, everything about the characters and level design feels really good, I prefer the sequel Rayman Legends as that seems to have a bit more of challenge, only sad thing is it's not on GOG so I'm having to put up with Ubisofts Uplay. Honesty if Rayman Legends came to GOG, I'd buy it again, the daily/weekly challenges that the game has really adds to longevity too
