FIX THE MISSING TEXTURES!!!! FIX. THE. DAMN. MISSING TEXTURES!!!! THE GAME'S TEXTURE IS MISSING LIKE RAYMAN'S WIFE!!! at first it was tolerable, but as i progress... the struggle with missing texture gets even WORSE. (ex: starting from electoon's hair, some ziplines in piping hot level, TO THE FIRE RINGS IN THE SAME GODDORN LEVEL!!) but game itself is really great, so i'll give it 5/10. ubisoft get yo ass here and …

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 …

Great game, beautiful to look at, difficult and frustrating at times though never unfair, you just have to learn the level and timing and it feels great when it all comes together, though it does demand no mistakes at times which is not for someone looking for something they can breeze through.

Personally better game than Legends AND it doesn’t require evil virus on your computer to run called Ubisoft Connect. 9/10

This game is an incredible piece of art. A pure joy to play. It is only overshadowed by its sequel, Rayman Legends, which improves upon it in every single way (and actually includes 75% of the levels from Origins as well). About 11 to 12 hours to play though all the content, and collect all the nugs in this one. I still think it is worth a play through, as Legends does not include the hilarious animations, …

positive · AI labelView post →The nymphs have made me speechless in a way that my lawyers advised me not to continue unless I want to lose nymph privileges which I cannot afford myself, I'd explode, uh 10/10 would do the nymphs again.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very good and classic game. 100% recommend you to play this game. but maybe not on steam. because the controller support is buggy and every time I open the game, I need to spent around 10 minutes to remap all the controllers for my friends, that wouldn't be a problem if I'm playing on dolphin. Though it only happens when you play multiplayer. also the original price is not fair, better bought on sales.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After > 14 years and now a 2nd playthrough, I can say it was still refreshing (to refresh my memories), but without a doubt, I noticed less motivation to aim for a great level 'score' and had become more of a critic. Let me just say, as someone who played the online challenges from Rayman Legends for countless hours back then — while the servers were still up & running — even without them, I'd say that Rayman Origins is definitely worth it and still holds up to date, but I'm afraid that, if you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is really great. A fast paced yet challenging platformer, great music and an adorable artstyle. If you are coming from legends and think but I have already played back to origins you are missing out the gameplay is simplified on Legends not to mention the missing levels. I recommend not playing the back to origins levels in Legends and play this instead. also it does not come with ubisoft connect so you can play offline. But , it could use a better support for controller…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome game. The artsyle is vibrant, the characters are all massive charming doofuses, and the jawharp goes unbelievably hard. The movement can be jarring if you're playing this off the back of Legends, as it's less fluent than its sequel. However, what this game has that Legends doesn't is actually hard levels.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Time marks 100% completion, what a fantastic game that aged finer than wine! A little rough with the bosses and some of the stages were a bit too frustrating but the vibes and platforming were just as awesome as I remembered them being when I was a kid. Also the nymphs are baddies.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →2026 review : 8/10. a fresh change of pace from games we usually play. === i played and finished this game years ago probably on PS3. even thought this was the second time i was playing it, it was still FUN. the game is FUN and ENTERTAINING. The music REALLY brings the game to life. the music sets the atmosphere of every level individually so well. if you have not bought this game, you can probably skip it. it's not a game that i would be like BUY and PLAY it right now ! if you don't…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best games ever, glad to be playing it after only playing rayman legends for a while
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is super fun, Rayman is such a silly guy running and jumping around with his iconic sidekick Globox, saving pink creatures with ponytails, stroking Polokus' hairy and scrumptious beard, and last but not least, turning the enemies into deviantart inflation fetish. This game is so great the artstyle, the music, the voice acting, the amount of screentime the nymphs get, the everything, i'd say it's the perfect platformer game ever made.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i goon to this game while i prefer the gameplay & levels of legends, this game is still absolute peak and you should impulse buy it now
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →amazing, has aged very well and the difficulty is balanced and a challenge, some levels are too hard but it is very fun
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a hidden gem🎁 if you've never played the rayman franchize, you re missing out on a lot... Rayman Legends is the game of my childhood. A must-play Masterpiece with a GREAT music team and a funny nonsense storyline🤣. Shame Ubisoft doesn't care about their game... And since we ain't getting a sequel anytime soon, I was hyped to find Rayman Origins on steam. This is the way I can enjoy more levels and music from this WORK OF ART. EVERYBODY who played the games LOVE them. It's like…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My Playthrough [url=https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKa2UbJZn3bQ] Youtube Playlist The Review Ubisoft not only made an interesting engine but brought Rayman back. Crazy to think that Ubisoft used to be competent. The game is fun, smooth, and best of all this does not use the Ubisoft client.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked the animation and character design, the music, and the maps in this Rayman game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was able to 100% the game in just 25 Hours, (Over the course of 2 Years Ignoring That) But its super refreshing to play a Non-Open world game with Endless Fluff or not a game that indefinitely repeats itself/Mutiplayer. Its a Fun, Slightly Buggy, self contained experience! Check out my Lets Play of this game at TheBookOfAkersGaming for my full blind reactions to the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game from what I could tell, but I encountered a bug halfway through my playthrough that prevented me from exiting onto the world select map, locking progression, with no concrete reason as to why. Others who have sited this issue on steam forums haven't found a proper answer either, very unfortunate.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →best game ever, i reccomend to play with a controller
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →rushing through levels is incredibly fun, the soundtrack is insurmountably good and gourmand land is the single best thing to come out of the videogame industry

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When I was like 7 years old I would wish to play Rayman Origins. But unfortunately my family did not have the money to buy the game so I waited for like 9 years and then I finally played the game on steam and it was absolutely amazing. Everything good I have heard about this game is true, most levels are fun with beautiful background and platform design. The only thing that is kind of bad about the game, is the lagging the can happen in some levels. But overall this game is amazing, I would…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is very easy and the level design is not very interesting, which makes it boring after a few hours. The controls also feel clunky and slow, I don't recommend this game. TLDR: 3/10.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Havent played this game since I was young, Legends is better but it still holds up pretty well.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm more of a Rayman 2/3 and Raving Rabbids guy, and not a fan of platformers in general, but Origins was a fun ride. All sequences had their own visual & sound identity along with gameplay gimmicks, the difficulty was just right for casual players while having ways to entertain those who want some challenge. Probably the only thing that I didn't quite like was the requirement to have a particular number of Electoons to be able to finish the game, and that required breaking the pace and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best 2D platformers you can play. The progression between worlds is fantastic, and the new movement abilities you unlock keep letting these incredible levels build more and more upon themselves. I thought that the halfway split of unlocking the four side worlds was a cool reveal, but it does limit the content to four worlds revisited. The difficulty is definitely there and ramps up toward the end. Tackling that last boss's three levels in one run is pretty intense. Just as good as…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a bug; menu options and save files are invisible/black so you cant tell what you are selecting or doing. Game ruined 0/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →nice platforming fun, does feel a bit boring after a bit though, good game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the pure happiness that i received from this game is immeasurable
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very charming game with great music. The platforming can be very fun and satisfying to pull off and the game has a good way of handling difficulty. Although the game would benefit from a reward for getting everything or completing the Land of the Livid Dead. It was a little unfortunate to find no prize behind getting all the trophies and medals but getting them was still fun enough. The game can be challenging certainly with some trophies or medals on shooter levels but it never really felt…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An underrated masterpiece for sure, the fact so little people talk about Rayman Origins as opposed to other games in the series is criminal to say the least. Absolutely recommend it to anyone that loves platformers. Also there is no ubisoft launcher to speak of, which is a big bonus :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's excellent. I played this game when I was younger.. I remember enjoying it but I thought it was much too hard! Maybe I have just gotten better at video games, but I found this to be the perfect difficulty. No level stayed frustrating for too long and all of the optional content was fairly straight forward to get to. The level design is extremely good and the optional content only makes it shine more! Literally the only weak point of the game for me is the bosses you fight later on. They are…
