Trendy Gamers: So it’s near the end of the year and the holiday season is in full swing with all the big blockbuster titles out in stores now, soon to be picked up by eager gamers, uninformed parents, and all around happy folk. I believe it is safe to say that 2011 has not disappointed, with what felt like a constant flow of AAA titles delivered week after week. However, like each passing year, there are certain titles that are passed up, forgotten about and placed far away into the deep corners of the gaming universe. They are then only to be rediscovered in a distant future where they may or may not finally get the attention they truly deserved.
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.

Buy Rayman: origins.. finished it yesterday 9,9999999999/10
It's the only thing I've mentioned that I want for a gift this year. From what I've played of the demo, it just feels refreshing. I love me some rated M games, but I can't remember the last true-blue platformer that I have bought on a retail disc (Only Viewtiful Joe 2 comes to mind).
