David Chapman, of The Married Gamers, reviews Rayman Origins on the PS Vita. Does Ubisoft's mascot bring back the good ol' days of Rayman's adventures?
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.”"
Funny how quite a powerful handheld has this game as its highest rated launch title. Rayman Origins being a 2d game that does not even come close to pushing the Vita in terms of graphics. It's still a fantastic game though, lovely animation.
This is the best platformer you can play on a handheld. The design, performance, and visuals are top-notch. There is a perfect balance of challenge without becoming frustrating.
Sure Rayman Origins is a pure example of gaming beauty, but it's nothing with the help of the PSVita's AMOLED.
