During the gamer's life, to get the "achievement" of a "hardcore gamer", you should have played at least one game in every genre. You want it to be an RTS, an adventure point and click or the most ferocious modern FPS, your path is that way.
But, that is not all. Genres mean main characters as well. And you have some that you cannot ignore or pretend it doesn't exist. Sonic, Mario Bros (yes, I'm old), Abe or Grim Fandango, just to name a few.
Rayman is Ubisoft's main character featuring a body with no arms, legs or neck, though he has hands, feet, and a head. Origins is a platform game, best played with the use of a gamepad, with rich and colourful graphics, all packed with an original Hawaiian style soundtrack. If you are used to playing on a console, you'll feel immediately at home: autosave, restart from the last point, bonus and loading windows, are all here.
Rayman Origins doesn't like large screen setup, so I had to play the game in a 1920x1080 window but is ok, cause this is the "casual" game that you run when you want to jump quickly into some game, without long waiting stages for matchmaking or finding a server.
Did I like it? Yes is absolutely fun, but on condition to have a gamepad close to your computer. With the keyboard is just fun, but playable.
