"Rayman Origins" is a fun, colorful side-scrolling 2D platformer that's worth the time for both old and young players alike. You start off with just a couple of basic moves, like jump and sprint, and gain more abilities the farther you progress in the game. The levels can be inconsistent with their difficulty- one can be a breeze while the next can be irritatingly difficult- but with patience they can all be conquered. There are plenty of collectibles and secret areas, which lead to the ability to unlock more characters. Each character, while retaining a similar play mechanic, is also unique in their own way. You won't get everything on just one run through a level either, so there is incentive to revisit levels. It's not perfect and may not be for everyone, but if you're looking for a little bit lighter fare and something different from FPSs, adventure games, or massive RPGs, this might be a game to check out. Worth a rental at least.
