Rayman Origins
One of Ubisoft’s more colorful titles, Rayman Origins embraces its classic 2D platforming roots and delivers an incredibly entertaining experience. Even though the actual story doesn’t really explore uncharted territory, it’s the endearing and lovable characters that will win over most players. There’s a real charm to the world of Rayman Origins, which is reflected nicely through the cartoonish art style that makes every action and environment pop.
Along with this fantastic visual direction, Rayman Origins featured tight controls and challenging platforming sections that never felt too simple. However, it was the wonderful level design offering a variety of unique situations and gimmicks, that kept each encounter fresh and interesting. One area saw players clamoring across a world made of flutes and clarinets, while another had users running through a spike-filled cave. Rayman Origins was never afraid to poke fun at itself, either, and the humor helped make it an incredibly memorable experience that spawned an equally solid sequel.
