    I tried to like this game...I really did. But this is a game for kids. No storyline, all fun and games(which is sometimes good). It just makes me feel like I'm going nowhere with the game

    Unoptimized crap of a bame. I have a beast of a pc as far as 2015 gaming pc's go and this game still plays only at 15fps! Was excited to try the game out after i read alot of reviews online. But i never try getting past the first level because the game performs so bad.

    Time passes but nothing changes, Ubisoft just don't wan't to fix bugs in their old games. Can't even start the game!

    Playing on PC with Uplay. It doesn't read the savegame location properly. The save file is there but the game doesn't read it. I tried disabling Uplay's syncing. A web search shows it's happening to lots of other people and there doesn't seem to be a fix.

    Starting off the game seems fine and enjoyable, but then you run into bugs/bad design that makes it virtually unplayable, such as:    Playing on PC with Uplay.

    Starting off the game seems fine and enjoyable, but then you run into bugs/bad design that makes it virtually unplayable, such as:

    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.

    Only play this if you like doing sequences (with a controller) over and over till you get them right.    … Expand

    A charming and inventive platformer that understands what makes the genre special, and never rests on its laurels.

    While in many ways superior to Origins I’m giving it the same score because it’s a little bit too similar in places, nevertheless Rayman Legends is one of the best platformers of all time and you should definitely buy it if you want to have a smile on your face.

    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.
