Rayman Origins (PS3)

I bought the game about two months ago. I didn't have a chance to play until recently as I was busy with my dissertation.

I've just beaten the fucker and I have come to several conclusions.

1) the visuals are gorgeous
2) this is the best platformer of this generation
3) I really want to replay the original Rayman
4) Platformers are still cool

I also want to talk a bit about the difficulty. The game really isn't that hard apart from the last level. Or to be more precise the segment where your platforming. I've spent at least over two hours trying to get though that part. Two hours on a segment which should have taken several minutes. But I never quit because I'm fucking emigre. Other than that I found the game more than manageable. The level of difficultly subtly increased which never made me feel I've hit some sort of rock regarding the difficulty.

Now I'm going to make some popcorn and watch MGS4 on my triple.

I can agree with 1, 2, and 4, never played the original Rayman though.

Still probably the best platformer of this generation.

The game does get really tough but it has like one of the best difficulty curves in gaming.
 
rayman best platformer ever(i know exaggeration) but rayman origins is a good reboot after that rabids fiasco
 
By last level, do you mean the Land of the Livid Dead?

If not, well... if you thought the game got hard before, you have no idea.
 
Play Super Meat Boy for 360 (or PC with a 360 controller) and tell me you still think Rayman Origins is the best. I dare you.

Super Meat Boy is just overly difficult on purpose. It's kinda one of those "stupid difficult" games that have the main selling point of being overly hard. Rayman Origins is better because it ramps up difficulty perfectly and makes the hard parts a genuine challenge, not the whole "shotgunning" method of Super Meat Boy where you'll usually succeed through pure luck after tons of trial and error.
