The Rayman series got its start in 1995 with the original 2D platforming game. Since then, the series has dived into the world of 3D with subsequent titles like The Great Escape and Hoodlum Havoc. Now, Rayman Origins (as the title suggests) returns to the series’ roots, offering a crazy adventure across only two dimensions. Is this change to 2D a step back for the series, or does it end up taking a leap forward in the end?
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.
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.
