Rayman is one of the more instantly recognisable figures in gaming history, yet his time in the industry has been up and down over the years. Initially starring in his own 2D platformer, it was the subsequent 3D sequels that went on to define Rayman’s place in gaming. After he somehow got mixed up in the Raving Rabbids franchise back in 2006, fans had begun to lose hope of seeing any new Rayman games that weren’t a part of the party genre. It’s nice to see Rayman back to his roots in Rayman Origins then, a game that is able to bring the 2D platformer into the modern generation of gaming with minimal levels of compromise.
