    Brilian platformer!
    Join Rayman, Globox, and the Teensies as they run, jump, and slap their way through each world to get home, save the day, and discover the secrets of the legendary paintings!
    The only downside is the uPlay platform requirement.

The game controls fluidly, especially with a controller, although if you rebind the keys to something sane, the keyboard controls work fine. The main thing that makes the game good, though, is the great design of everything, from the daily challenges, to the individual and varied sequences of levels, even to the hub world from which you select levels everything feels polished and perfectly designed. The game varies heavily, one world focuses heavily on wind currents, having a Zero-Wing style shooting mini game at one point, while a later world is focused on James Bond 2D 'stealth' (more timing-based, but it still feels like stealth). In the end, Rayman Legends is just a fantastic game, and it's so good that if I owned a PS Vita and Wii U I'd buy it again for those systems. It has endless, polished, well designed content.… Expand

    Rayman Legends is fairly long, it took me approx 20 hours to get to the first ending. But that's only 50% of the game! There are more levels that appear and can be unlocked. And for those that enjoy competition, there are 2 daily and 2 weekly challenges, where your skills to complete a level will be compared to this of other players.
    A word on the DRM: Rayman is protected by UPLAY. I cannot say I like it, but it proved to be working just a good as steam, if not better. That means it is non-obtrusive, and allowed me to play online, offline, after my computer resumed from suspend mode.
    Rayman Legends is a solid 10 for anyone into platformers!    … Expand

    Has combination of tight controls and well designed levels that makes platforming satisfying, excellent graphical style and music, as well as tons of unlockable content that will keep you playing even after finishing the story.

    Very solid platformer.

    The only downside is there's no online coop; only local.

Legends takes what Origins did by itself really well and makes it even better!

    Every world but also every level feels different, and they do not have any resemblance to the ones in the first game (And even if you miss them, there is a section of the game that allows you to "replay" many levels of Origins, so I suggest you could buy Legends if you didn't play the first one), so you'll have the actual feeling that you are not playing a cheap DLC but a real successor.

    Other than the story mode there are many other modes that makes the game even longer, like the challenges, which are not hard to end, but taking a gold trophy? That's another story. You'll have to try many times to take one and to maintain a good ranking position. There are also multiplayer modes that i didn't actually play, so there is even more of what I'm trying to explain!

    LO MALO: No aporta nada nuevo, duración un poco limitada (a mí se me ha hecho más corto que Origins) y que requiera instalar Uplay.

    Ubisoft ha hecho un trabajo bastante decente con estos 2 último Rayman pero a mí personalmente los mejores me parecen Rayman 2: the great escape y Raymay Rayman 3: hoodlum havoc (siendo para mí el 2 no solo el mejor de los Rayman sino que también uno de los mejores del género de plataformas de todas las generaciones) y creo que ni Origins ni Legends pueden rivalizar con ellos; espero que pronto podamos ver otro Rayman en 3D.

    Rayman legends es un juego que te gustará bastante si eres fan de los plataformas en 2D y si no has jugado al anterior, si no es el caso (es decir: has jugado al Origins), entonces es muy posible que este Rayman no te guste tanto ya que es más de lo mismo y no te sorprenderá (exceptuando quizá los escenarios musicales) pues la originalidad la tuvo Origins al ser el primero en adoptar esta nueva fórmula.
    Como ya he dicho, si te gustan mucho los plataformas en 2D y es tu primer Rayman de esta generación, píllalo puesto que no es caro; si no...alquílalo si puedes.    … Expand

    I've never played a Rayman game before and so I had absolutely no idea what to expect when I started up Rayman Legends for the first time. Man, was I ever pleasantly surprised! It's truly one of the most fun games I've ever played. While not particularly deep from a gameplay perspective, good humor is bursting from every seam and it's impossible not to be swept along.

While not particularly deep from a gameplay perspective, good humor is bursting from every seam and it's impossible not to be swept along.

    The level design is perfect and the visuals are utterly spectacular. I find myself playing "just one more level" to see what incredible visual treats the game has in store for me next. I also have to shower praise on the game's composer, Christophe Héral. His music is as integral to the experience here as it is in classic Warner Bros. cartoons. You may find yourself replaying certain levels again and again just to enjoy the wonderful soundtrack. Of particular note is the fact that many of the tracks were recorded using a full orchestra, something which is very rare in games these days. Huge kudos to Ubisoft for being willing to spend the extra money to get such high quality results!

    In conclusion, Rayman Legends is pretty much a must-have game. I think gamers of all skill levels, ages and backgrounds will find plenty to enjoy here.    … Expand

Origins had a very messy difficulty curve, some repeating sections due to quirky level design in some areas, and it had a hard time finding its own style as well. Luckily Legends fixes most of the things that were wrong, but its still a pretty average to almost-great platforming experience for some of the same reasons. The levels unlock as you free more captives in each, bonus areas unlock as well as new characters to play as, and the whole thing has a much better sense of progression as you play. It makes it perfect for someone with perhaps not a huge motivation to get through it all in one sitting. A.k.a. you can take your time or even take a break and come back to different (read as harder) levels later when you feel up for it. The soundtrack is not quite as good this time (far less adventurous genre-wise), but (and it may just be me) I'm also rather upset that the same visual designs are being used as well. I know they changed up the enemy designs, but Rayman and his crew aside from some newer characters all look about the same. I adored Rayman 1 and Rayman 2's characters designs. They were wholly unique for those two games respectively, however the team behind these games really need to find a new art style. It was clear from playing through Rayman Origins that they weren't sure what to go with aside from some references to enemy designs dating as far back as 1995, but here its obvious in Legends that they need to come up with something new. To be frank, the game looks like a very well made Flash game. Now that isn't particularly appealing to me, and I tolerated it, but I know that they are capable of coming up with a better looking game.… Expand

    As of late, the 2D platforming genre has seen a bit of a resurgence, especially in indie games like Super Meat Boy, I Wanna Be The Guy and to a lesser extent in more high-profile titles New Super Mario Bros. and the like. Rayman Legends, the sequel to 2011's reboot of the Rayman series, Rayman Origins, is one such platformer, and quite possibly one of the best in its genre.

    Rayman    As of late, the 2D platforming genre has seen a bit of a resurgence, especially in indie games like Super Meat Boy, I Wanna Be The Guy and to a lesser extent in more high-profile titles New Super Mario Bros. and the like. Rayman Legends, the sequel to 2011's reboot of the Rayman series, Rayman Origins, is one such platformer, and quite possibly one of the best in its genre.

    Rayman Legends, like its predecessor, is very simple in terms of its gameplay: Run, jump and punch your way through each of the levels, rescuing the small, fairy-like Teensies (who replace Origins' Electoons) as you go. It's actually quite a good thing the gameplay is this simple, because this game's difficulty is certainly not to be sniffed at. On some of the Challenge levels in particular it might take someone many different tries to get past a particular area of the game, and whilst at first this may seem aggravating there's no feeling quite like finally completing that ONE level. Another interesting addition is the Murfy mechanic - whilst playing, the player can use Murfy to guide their character through the level, by for instance moving platforms or distracting enemies, adding a little variety to the gameplay whilst still retaining the simplicity that makes it so enjoyable. There are also additional characters, but the differences are mostly cosmetic and don't change the gameplay, though in all honesty this is more to the game's benefit, since the gameplay is OK as it is, and doesn't really need any different character abilities to make it any better.

    Also like Origins, Legends' story is barebones, quite possibly to the overall game's benefit. Not focusing much on the story means that the player can divert their attention to actually enjoying the gameplay and uniquer art style, which are the game's main points.

    I have but two overarching criticisms of this version, however: First of all, the implementaion of the uPlay DRM system, even on the Steam version, which is unnecessary and cumbersome. Second: This game was clearly meant for the Wii U, a fact that shows as you play the game. I thought that maybe the Wii U's features would transfer more easily to the PC, but unfortunately Ubisoft didn't really take advantage of the keyboard ands mouse in the same way they took advantage of the Wii U's gamepad. Actions formerly performed by the player themselves as Murfy on the Touch Pad are now performed with a single touch of a button on the controller, which if you ask me is a bit of a missed opportunity.

    To summarise, despite clearly being designed for the Wii U, Rayman Legends is the best anyone could ask from a platforming game. It's challenging, it has funny characters, enjoyable levels, it doesn't focus too much on the plot, and most importantly - It will keep you entertained for a VERY long time. Yes, it can get very, VERY difficult, but as you play it, you realise that that's the whole point: Trial and error, improving with every failed attempt, slowly but surely perfecting your strategy. And it's exactly that that makes Rayman Legends special.    … Expand

I'm happy to give it a 10 because it's such a pure gaming experience, and beautifully crafted. It's a thrilling example of a platform game, elevated by its artistic quality to the position of a living cartoon. There's a wonderful interaction between music and visual effects which means you'll rarely be in doubt how to handle a tricky jump even when you're hurtling towards it for the first time, since you'll feel the moment in the rhythm of the music. (Incidentally, this could be a problem for deaf gamers: best to try the demo first if you have hearing difficulties.)

    There's the welcome option of female characters, and not just one but several to unlock. Rayman and the other characters didn't appeal to me much, so I used Barbara and her sisters exclusively. You're never short of choices if a particular level is causing you a problem, with lots of "hallways" of missions, daily challenges, and remastered versions of all the levels from Rayman Origins.

    As if it needs saying: if you don't have an XBox controller, buy an XBox controller! This game, and many others, really benefit from it. You might not even realise how many great games you're subconsciously avoiding.    … Expand

    A pretty good platformer that however does not compare to Rayman Origins. Legends is much easier, lacks the sense of progression present in the first game and does not have upgrades for Rayman.

The hub is just a set of portraits (instead of the world map in Origins) and most levels are both easy and not better than Origins levels. Even though this game contains 2/3 of Origins, those levels were made easier and thus, worse. When the game finally gets good, you realize that you are at the end. The final boss is weird and the final world is a disappointment with artificial difficulty. Moreover, Murfy levels are pretty annoying and not well implemented. There are no new treasure chase levels or mosquito shooting levels, instead there are invasions (short time attack levels) and music levels (which are great).
    Despite everything I've written, the game is still loads of fun and one of the better platformers of the recent era. Origins did it better, though.    … Expand

Unique and absolutely perfect graphics, balanced gameplay, which offers a vast scale of difficulty. Many hours to be spent in this fantastic world. This game is a must for everyone who likes platformers. Sending regards to Montpellier.

    The beautiful art style and one of the best soundtracks make this game super addictive. You will find yourself jumping to the rhythm through the playthrough. Each level is unique, challenging in some other way than the previous one and rewarding. The game itself is not hard (much easier than "Origins") but it has lots of lots of collectibles that can be challenging to gather.
    I recently completed Hollow Knight and praised it for boss design. Rayman Legends deserves similar praise for level-design. My awards goes to music levels, where you jump and beat your enemies to the rhythm of the super-catchy soundtrack.
    I found myself playing it long after I already beat the game. This is the only game in which I ever played "daily challenges" and I have to admit they were amazing (I kept repeating them until I was able to win a gold prize).    … Expand

    You jump on a rope and cut it and it leaves you on the wrong side of the rope.

    You're swinging on a rope and it randomly bumps you off the rope.

    The margins of error are ridiculously tiny. Everything has to be incredibly precise.

    I quit at that point. That's not playable or enjoyable for me.

    I see why it was free.

    Keyboard does not work well for this game. The inputs override each other and don't combine, making it very buggy. You can't bind the mouse at all, so you'd have to use 3rd party software to use the mouse. A controller is essentially mandatory.

    The game seems very long though, providing plenty of playtime for your money's worth. I got maybe 1/1400th of the way through the game in a few hours I would guess.

    Rayman Legends falls just short of being an absolutely timeless classic, but that’s just about the worst thing anyone can say about it. It’s every bit as good as its predecessor — stronger on some fronts and a little weaker on others — and continues to strengthen Rayman’s position as an enduring gaming mascot.
