There’s something to be said about going back to the roots of a videogame genre and trying to explore its conventions. While doing so can easily fall into an exercise in nostalgic stagnation, clever developers who are able to implement modern advances in game design can embrace the past in ways that provide an experience that ends up as fresh as it is familiar. Rayman: Origins, a game that came out last fall (and is currently making its way to pretty much every platform on the market), does just that.
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.
