Ah, my first Rayman game. I remember playing this for the first time when I was nine on the 3DS. I don't know how I managed to beat this game with ten pixels on my screen.

Anyways, Rayman Origins should feel like a game that's wholly tailored to what I like in platformer. Amazing fast-paced gameplay unique world design and an art style all its own (and Betilla). Sadly some things just didn't click for me. It's definitely in the controls Rayman feels loose and floaty and hovering kills all of your momentum. Then again I didn't find it affecting my time with the game too much but it could certainly be improved on. Luckily for everyone, Ubisoft let another ounce of creativity seep through the cracks to net us a sequel. Haven't played that one in a while either Hope it lives up to or surpasses it.
