Rayman Origins is a 2011 platform game developed and published by Ubisoft. It is the fourth main installment in the Rayman series and the first main installment since Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc (2003). The game was released for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii platforms worldwide, with PlayStation Vita, Nintendo 3DS, and Microsoft Windows versions being released the following year. The OS X version of the game was released on December 12, 2013, by Feral Interactive. The story follows Rayman, his friend Globox and two Teensies as they fight Darktoons and other evil creatures that have infected the Glade of Dreams after they unleashed said evil by complete accident.

Runs well on modern hardware.

Personally better game than Legends AND it doesn’t require evil virus on your computer to run called Ubisoft Connect. 9/10
Genuinely, wholeheartedly, with my whole chest and God above as my witness, this is one of the best games I have ever played in my life. The game flow and design is amazing. The art is so good and there are genuinely some beautiful and awesome (as in it will leave you in awe) moments, and it's funny too. It can get pretty tough, you really need to get a handle on the physics and control, but man it just feels satisfying to complete. It's just such a tight-knit, well-designed game and I think it's worth the price 100%. It is not perfect, there are moments where it feels like it asks a lot from you, but it is worth experiencing. And yes, multiplayer is pretty fun, but the only downside is that it's local play only, so you gotta find someone a seat beside you and have them bring their own controller. Please please play this game if you like 2D fast-paced platformers, you will not regret it. Rayman is just such a cool guy too so maybe I'm just a little bit ever so slightly biased. I am gonna once again warn you though; it can be REALLY tough. But if you pull through and keep at it, you will get through it, and it feels SO good when you do. This is really one of those games that keep you wanting more when you play it because of how much fun you're having, and it literally only gets better as the game goes on. So strap in, yo. The Glade of Dreams needs you bro.
Yeah it's Peak. I played this years ago with my Family on the XBOX 360. I got it couple years later on PC and only now am I reviewing it because of the enhanced coming out with Rayman Legends Retold. Not a clue if Ubisoft will delist this game along with Legends so if you want to play it now then it might be your only time to play it before the new one comes out. I think the price is pretty good since you get 2 games which can be a big game if you are willing to 100% and also new things in origins is amazing along with Textures being 4K in the new one. Now you won't experience them here since this is the Original Game not Enhanced Edition. That being said, this game is amazing even if some levels get a stressful.
