Rayman Origins is a game that exists. All the bad stuff I ever heard about it where from people that compared it to Legends, but let's be honest here, this game is great on it's own. It's just not as quick as Legends. But it still offers great level designs, beautiful worlds and difficult challenges at some points. It's not a very big game, and it doesn't offer much replayability (considering this whole game was ported into Legends for some reason) and there isn't a single trophy on this game, so why even try the 100% run? Just so you can have a character? Not even the bonus world "land of the living deads" offers any reward. It's just one big and difficult level.
One thing everybody immediately notices are the fairies. Yes, boobies! But common', there is barely anything that actually fits the "origins" theme. Sure, there are 3 enemies that have been in the first game. Not even the levels look like they are from the first game. At least they brought a female side character back. Did they really called this game like that because of that one Psp port where they have ancient paintings telling about Raymans story? If so, that's really absurd since in my opinion the whole hair story contradicts Rayman 1.

Well, I still had my 7-8 hours of fun despite not gaining anything from playing this game. Nobody will know whether I actually beat all of the levels and how many electoons I freed. At least they had some fun trophies on the Xbox 360 version. Boo Ubisoft, boo.

this is a really good game. When i was a kid, i played this game on the xbox. Its pretty fun :)

Oof, it is much different than i remembered it be, i remembered it as copy of Legends but with different artstyle. But its definately harder than Legends. Movement a bit inconsistent because there were times you can easily lose momentum and whole speed, some levels were very dependent on that. Doesn't help the fact that game doesn't support d-pad controls, only stick which sucked. Bubbly enemies were so unnecessary, they almost never used this mechanic as jumping platforms and it was more tiresome. Artstyle is great (tho electoons look weird to me). Music is goated. Story makes zero sense, needed guide for that. Chest levels are the best.
Good platformer, i just wished controls were more consistent for tight platforming. Or maybe i just watched too much DSP lately
