About Rayman Origins

Bubble Dreamer, Rayman, his best friend Globox, and some Teensy friends are chilling out at the Bubble Dreamer's resting grounds, the Snoring Tree. However, their snoring disturbs an old granny from the Land of the Livid Dead, who retaliates by sending an evil army of horrendous creatures and the Darktoons across the world, capturing the Electoons that inhabit the world, imprisoning Betilla the Nymph and her sisters, and plunging the Glade into chaos. As a result, the ensuing disaster causes the Bubble Dreamer to go crazy and have nightmares. Although they are captured, Rayman and his friends are able to escape the Darktoons. They are then tasked by the Magician to gather enough Electoons to cure the Bubble Dreamer and restore the Glade of Dreams. Their efforts to locate the Electoons allow them to gain access to the various lands of the Glade, rescuing the Nymphs along the way.

I feel like it beats Assassin's Creed II in pure joy per minute, though ACII probably wins on scope, I could be wrong here.

    Sa précision surtout, ACII m'a jamais fait sentir aussi léger en sautant.

    I replayed the later stages recently and the controls still feel tight, way tighter than most platformers from that era.

    The art direction is gorgeous and the co-op is fun, but the difficulty spikes hard in the later levels compared to the early charm.

    Frustrating for who exactly? I found those spikes rewarding once I learned the patterns.

    Yo también lo jugué en esa época y me encantó la dirección artística, pero para mí los picos de dificultad rompen el ritmo, sobre todo en los niveles finales donde todo se vuelve frustrante en vez de divertido.

    Portal makes you think, Rayman makes you fall off a platform forty times and laugh anyway.

  4. Coop_Ferrer

    Lo jugué justo después de terminar Donkey Kong Country 2, y aunque son épocas distintas, sentí la misma dificultad artesanal, esa que castiga pero nunca parece injusta. Buenos recuerdos con los dos.

    Je l'avais acheté un peu par hasard, je cherchais autre chose en magasin et la jaquette m'a attiré. Trois jours plus tard j'avais fini tous les niveaux avec mon frère, on hurlait de rire devant les niveaux de course. Il mérite clairement mieux que sa place actuelle.

    Nice story, but Portal 2 got that reaction from my whole group too, without the flailing controls.
