GamingUnion.net says "One of the best things about Rayman Origins' presentation at E3 2011, was that it made so many gamers laugh. With all the intensity and drama coming from shooters like Far Cry or Ghost Recon, the simplistic design of Rayman Origins was a nice change of pace. Originally lined up to be a multiplatform downloadable title, Rayman Origins has evolved to a retail title with tons more content to play through."
GF365: "These are our picks for the best side-scroller games on PC. The genre was popular back in the day, and these modern games prove the genre is still alive and well."
Ubisoft is giving away Rayman Origins for free and although it is a decade old, it is still one of the greatest classic platformer titles.
i think they should try to make a rayman 3D open world game for PS5 & Xbox Series X
Still waiting for an origins and legends successor. My wife and i were addicted to these games at the time.
I'll be curious if they make one. If they do, it won't look like they did, at least. Ubisoft retired the UbiArt framework used to make these games, apparently because the tools were too hard to work with across their many studios. Which is a bummer for sure, as I feel those games having a fairly unique aesthetic also benefitted them.
EDIT: Apparently I misremembered. They did say "hence the decision to temporarily put it aside", but they also said "it’s still there, and you will see other things using it". So it sounds like a new game could possibly still use UbiArt.
Fantastic game. Have great memories playing Origins on the Vita.
I will say though, around 2/3s of Origins' levels can actually be unlocked in the even better Rayman Legends which you can find dirt cheap these days.
Legends has so much variety and those music levels are amazing.
Jacob S. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "“Not only does Rayman: Origins stay true to the franchise’s roots, but also adds its own unique features to help make its way to modern-day consoles.”"
This really surprised me. I think this could be a pretty solid game.
This game was so much fun to play at E3 this year.
This definitely caught my eye at the Ubi presser. Can't wait to see more.
While people may be waiting for Bioshock, Assassin's Creed, Uncharted, or Deus Ex, nothing has managed to make me smile as much as this game has.
