Rayman Origins: a colorful platformer from the 90's on our Mac

And now, ladies and gentlemen, a minute of nostalgia for the old platforming 90! Remember these famous Mario, Sonic`a and worm Jim? What was exciting games! And now what? Solid shooter with rifts in full "3D", and even on 3D-TV. Whether there were times: The character can only move left, right, up and down. Yes, more and did not have to, but what were the sensations! Apparently, remembering that all once were small (even the current users have the cheapest computers from Apple), the company Ubisoft has ported its sensational platformer Rayman Origins and OS X.

The game itself came out on consoles already old generation for a long time. Then he got in a somewhat modified form to iOS-devices, and now settled in the App Store application. Buy and boldly dipped in a sea of ​​nostalgia for the good old days.

Since the release of the original has changed little, but that is not necessary. Rayman was always cheerful and colorful platformer that Sega, which is DOS (though here with paints were much worse). The concept is the same: we are running forward, overcoming various obstacles, and on the go "by clicking the" unpretentious puzzle. No newfangled 3D, only the plane, only hardcore!

Of course, the volume is there, but overall it's still the same of Rayman, we knew 20 years ago.

I must say that the developers have not wanted to make a remake of a mediocre 90th. It is felt not only in the visual component, but also in the level design. All levels are made and re-adapted to modern needs. There is no feeling that the team just took the old game over and dressed up teksturki high resolution, as it was a game about a blue hedgehog. As a result we got a completely new game, but with the old mechanics.
All as before: the story is banal, the action develops quickly, and our task is to ensure to get from point A to point B - the end point of the level.

It should be noted that like all those times platformers, Rayman Origins does not offer those who are accustomed to the games a la "Press X to win", and it is quite difficult to pass. At first, no difficulties will not arise, but the will to move further on the subject, the more you will be required speed and reaction, to reach the final.

Perhaps the most uncomfortable in the game - is the management, the bane of almost all the games for the computer, the more such a genre. Playing with the keyboard, by the middle of the feeling that you can and break accidentally. Or fingers. Therefore, the best solution - any compatible gamepad, the benefit now of the market quite a lot.

Rayman Origins - a great gift for anyone who wants to remember his carefree childhood and plunge into the world of platform games 90s, visually tightened to the present day.
