About the game
Not only does this game represent the comeback of the Rayman character, but it's also one of the best examples of a pure platform game. Giving close to no importance to the plot, Rayman focuses completely on the gameplay.
But when a game has pretty much no argument to explore or to be based on, the gameplay part has to be pretty well developed, and luckily it is. The game design goes back to the roots of gaming, focusing more on making the game an entertaining and joyful experience. An incredibly simple game that delivers to be one of the purest and most entertaining experiences we've seen in a long time.
A fresh new start
Indeed, Rayman is probably still not the king of platformer games, and it never truly was. But it is still incredible what they managed to create when making this beautiful title. You can feel how much love was put into developing this title. The art style, the gameplay, the level design, everything is simply beautiful when it comes to this title.
It's comparable to what they did when they made Sonic Generations, a game that evokes so many memories and brings back what made them great to start with. However, Rayman Origins did something much more impressive, as it didn't just relent in the nostalgia to make it great. Instead, it starts off a new legacy, improving everything nice in the series and making it even more enjoyable.
