    Best co op platform since crash bandicoot 3. You won't be dissapointed. Kids will love it.
    This game concentrates more on hard and replayability than deaths and lives very interesting way of doing things.
    This game is well priced and honestly pretty faultless. I never liked or played rayman this is my first rayman title. I did't even know what to expect. Oh btw it's four player co op,    Best co op platform since crash bandicoot 3. You won't be dissapointed. Kids will love it.

    I can't judge on remote or crossplay, this wasn't tested and the maximum characters I played with was 2.
    It was an interesting dynamic with two people in some of the levels. As you can disrupt each other by attacking and you can kill the other character by going to far ahead, if this sounds bad don't be put off as death isn't permenant, and if both players die it's just a restart.

    I also like the unlockable characters and the fact that you don't spend 10k lums on a character if you have 10k lums you unlock the 1k, 2k, 5k and 10k characters.

    Can be enjoyed best with a friend.    … Expand

    I'm playing the game no Xbone and the game is pure eye-candy. It's full of comedy like previous games and the boss fights are challenging. I'm loving the coop with friends and overall I'm pleased with the game and hope that next-gen consoles get more like it.

    Rayman Legends is simply stunning to look at and play. After completing Rayman Origins I thought Ubisoft would struggle to beat the supreme level design and originality found it that game, yet they have indeed improved on it in every way.

    While I enjoyed the demo on Wii U, I opted to go for the PS4 version as I actually prefer games without touch controls and I'm glad I did. Playing on the DS4 is perfect for me. Not only that but graphics look sharper, there is no loading times and of course Trophy's on PS consoles.

    There is so much to do in Legends it will keep you going for many hours. The new worlds are superb, plus there is a revisit to some Rayman Origins levels re-configured for this new adventure as well as daily and weekly challenges to compete against the world.

    Gameplay is tight, graphics are beautiful, the music is excellent and the challenge is quite taxing on the later levels.

    Ubisoft should be given credit for continuing to make games like this and Child of Light with such creativity,I really hope they continue to do so.

    Just get this game if you haven't already - it's one of the best platformers ever and the best version is the PS4/X1 versions if you ask me!    … Expand

    The foes are stupidly cute, so lovely and ridiculously punished. I like this kind of humor.
    The difficulty is just fit so after mastering the control, you will be very glad to replay them in a more seamless way.

    The best platformer you can find. Finished it on PS3, Wii U and now PS4. Although the PS4 version is faster and the graphics are a bit better, there is no reason to buy this game if you own any of the old gen versions. Ifg you do not than this is a must buy.

    GEM! Beautiful hand crafted graphics, stunning colors , solid 60 frames per second, ultra precise controls, perfect platforming mechanics, genius level design and tough as nails timed invasion challenges. Playing this game makes me feel 20 years younger but due to it's frenetic pace on later levels it reminds me that me and my reflexes are becoming old and sometimes struggle to keep up.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The year is 1995. I'm sitting on my ass looking at a friend of mine playing Cybermorph. He was the only person I knew who owned an Atari Jaguar. In the middle of one of his play sessions his little brother and his mother come back from shopping, and the kid races over and says "Hey! you wanna play Rayman?". It was obvious he bought it from the shop he and his mom went to. I can't remember what happened next, but I vaguely recall trying the game, loving it and then owning the PlayStation version some time later.

    Jump back to the modern age and I've become a pretty big Rayman fan. i haven't had a metacritic account 'till now and I've been dying to talk about my favorite game of all time online. So let us talk about Rayman Legends.

    The plot is very simple. To sum it up: five creature known as Dark Teensies are screwing up this bright and happy world, so the bubble dreamer wakes up Rayman, our hero who has a bad habit of sleeping for entire centuries (no, really!), who you control. The dark Teensies have to be stopped at all costs, and you've gotta do it, buster!

    Visually, the game is a marvel. It looks bright and cartoony, the animation is spot on, and the lively colors (almost) always let you see Rayman (or any of the other characters you can play as) against these beautiful backdrops. The game also NEVER experiances slowdown, not even on your regular run of the mill PS4, which is what I played the game on.

    The soundtrack is cool too. My favorite tracks are Castle Rock, The Spy Who Kicked Me, Dragon Slayer, Gloo Gloo and Once Upon a Time. They all fit the mood really well and I currently require a soundtrack CD with these songs

    You're gameplay is the typical 2D platformer affair, you run, jump, kill enemies and do the occasional platforming or puzzle challenge. There are 10 trapped Teensies (regular ones, not Dark Teensies) in each stage except for boss stages, music levels and invasion paintings, plus in remastered stages from this game's predecessor, Rayman Origins. This totals to over 700 Teensies to collect in the game. 2 of the trapped Teensies in each stage coming from challenge rooms you can find in hidden areas. Progressing through the game and collecting more Lums, the game's equivalent to Coins in the Mario games except this game doesn't use a lives system, can reward you with special skins for the four main characters: Rayman, Globox, Barbara, and the Teensie king. Some of these skins are availible at the start, but for the rest you'll have to collect Lums to unlock. Getting hit by an enemy will kill you immediatly unless you have a heart, which can allow you to take an extra hit. Remember, this game gives you infinite lives, so one hit kills aren't really a bad thing. Boss battles are here too, and they're really creative. They require you to hit 'em a lot until they go down. But to hit them, you'll have to do a little platforming challenge that may hide the three Teensies in a boss level. the music stages are autoscrollers that require you to do certain actions in time with the music or you'll die like a scrub. These are really fun and add variety to the game without making it stray too far away from the core mechanics.

    I would go into more depth about this game, but it's really something you should experience for yourself. Sure some of the later Invasion Paintings are a bit...annoying to say the least and the game as a bit of a difficulty spike in the later half, but they're not enough to ruin it altogether.

    And now I've come full circle, from a hard as hell 1995 platformer to my favorite game of all time, It sure has been a ride with good ol' Ray here. from the transition to 3D, to the slapstick approach of the third outing, to the...Rabbids. Rayman's come back to his roots. And I hope the Switch port of this game isn't the last of him we'll see for a while.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great platformer with amazing artwork.

    Rayman Legends lives up to its name. It is an amazing platformer with colorful artwork, fast paced play and a ton of stuff to do. It’s a direct sequel to the previous installment, Rayman Origins and gives you a huge new game to complete.

    The game follows a simple story in which a dark magician splits into five Dark Teensies and captures all the princesses and Good Teensies. It is up to Rayman, Murfy and Globox to save all the Teensies, collect as many Lums as possible and defeat the five Dark Teensies. On your journey, you fight multiple bosses, time trials and running stages in which, you need to time your jumps just right.

    You travel trough different worlds, each with a unique theme. You got a forest world, ancient Rome, Mexican dessert, underwater levels and a volcanic wasteland. It gives great variety, and each stage offers some unique puzzles and ways to beat it. Every stage requires some thinking and a different strategy, keeping the game fresh at all times.

    Rayman Legends is a very big game. For the price you pay, you get a ton of content. You got the campaign levels in which you must save all the seven hundred Teensies, you got the “Back to Origins” levels, which feels like an entire campaign besides the main one and a lot of different challenge levels, a soccer game, and a nice gallery in which you can see all the unlocked “creatures”, which you earn by scratching open cards that you earn for completing levels. It takes many hours to complete this game and for me, this felt great because I really like arcade platformers like Spyro and Crash Bandicoot in which you need to complete and collect stuff.

    Like I said before, the game features some unique and beautiful artwork. Everything looks out of proportion, cartoonish and jolly, and for this game, it works beautifully. The way you unlock portraits and jump into them is really fun and adds to the literal art style of the game. It also has some kind of Gothic theme over it that I really like. The animations and effects are nice to look at and enhances the game.

    The music tracks and sound effects are also great. It is just as jolly as the artwork and graphics and has a symphonic vibe over it. I especially liked the music levels, in which popular songs are remixed into a “Rayman Legends 8-bit” variant and you need to perform jumps and dodges in sync with the music.

    Rayman Legends is really well balanced. There is a perfect mix between frustration, challenge and fun. It can be hard as bricks and some challenges require many retries or practice, but eventually you will master it and finish the stage. Many stages and tasks are just remembering the patterns but because of the good checkpoint system in place, you can try again in seconds.

    There is a complaint from my side however about Rayman Legends. You can compete in online leader boards and ranking in which you can earn points and increase your “awesome score”. This consists of eleven levels and the score can be increased by completing levels in the main story and the Back to Origins levels and by completing challenges and earning a bronze, silver or gold cup for the set time. Reaching level ten is not that hard and will come naturally to you, but to truly beat and complete the game full, you need to reach level eleven, a feat that will require excessive grinding and can take up to a full year of daily challenges to complete, if you only earn bronze cups on the daily challenges. This was really a bummer for me because I do not have the mad skills to beat the best of the world and earn a diamond cup on each challenge. So this is the only trophy that I cannot earn and it bothered me more than it should.

    Nevertheless, Rayman Legends is an amazing game, and I would recommend it to everyone.    … Expand

    Aside from a couple of levels involving 'Murfy' (that were apparently designed with the Wii U gamepad in mind and as such can be a little dull on the 360) Ubisoft have barely put a foot wrong with this one. So, while it may not differ all that much from Rayman Origins, this is a must play if you have any interest in platformers at all (especially if you have a friend to play in co-op with).    … Expand

    Feels like a true oldschool platformer: fun, and challenging.

    Plot is simple and not overbearing, which is good as there's no option for subtitles, and voice audio in cutscenes is hard to listen to.

    Some levels are very challenging and require a great deal of muscle memory and repetition, yet they don't feel at all frustrating. Lives are infinite with level checkpoints, nothing feels overly difficult or impossible just challenging. The levels can even be skipped if you desire.

    There were only 2 main-story levels that I was completely stuck on for over an hour, despite not even being too hard, because they involved new mechanics that weren't introduced. I'm unsure why, as all other mechanics are introduced via onscreen tutorials and tips. Eventually, I figured them out without needing to search online though, which is redeeming. I wouldn't change the levels at all, just add tooltips to introduce which new move to use.

    There is an exception to not feeling overly difficult though, a bonus door called Living Dead Party which you get after beating the game where they take existing levels and visually distort them to make them more difficult. To me this is a fairly way lazy making you replay the levels you've already played to extend the length of the game. The guise of making them 8-bit look isn't even an issue, 8-bit filters on a game gives a retro feel, however the levels get more pixlated in certain sections of the level, with the sole aim to screw the player.
    There is one level in particular, Orchestral Chaos (8-Bit) remix which is especially messed up. Not only is the color pallet and graphical fidelity of the level altered, but for some reason, the level is periodically covered by static so you are physically unable to see anything that is going on the majority of the time.
    The idea is you memorise the level as much as you can through any clear moments, and use audio cues for when you need to perform an action. A very cool idea. Terrible execution. The effect is far too obtrusive. I eventually managed to beat it by watching the original level to memorise the locations of everything, and then tons of repetition.
    I managed to clear most of the Living Dead Party levels, but one of the last ones Dragon Slayer led me to give up on the game. It starts off heavily pixelated ("8-bit"). But becomes even more pixelated later on during the tougher parts. Also shifting colours just as obstacles approach. I played it a couple of hours, learning from mistakes and getting so far I was sure I was a jump or two away from the end. But eventually I realised I am just not having fun with this so decided to stop playing further.

    A final point I wish to address, is that I'm not a fan of the lootbox mechanic (lucky tickets). Whilst it's more acceptable than a lot of games (as in I didn't need to spend any real money), I was unable to unlock some levels requiring lucky tickets, and considering I completed the game and collected as much as I could throughout, feel that restricting levels by needing essentially 100% collectables is too extreme.

    That all being said, Rayman Legends was one of the best platformers I've played in decades and look forward to a sequel.    … Expand

    My only minor criticism is the trophies on this game, I have got all but two of the trophies, the two missing are effectively unobtainable as i don't know anyone with Rayman Legends on PS4.

    As with it's predecessor (Rayman Origins), the goal of this game is to free the Tweenies. This version in my opinion however is better in every respect: it is more creative; the soundtrack is better; the story is better and I guess all round it just flows better. The game actually includes all the levels from Rayman Origins for free (What a bonus!). Why can't more developers do this?!

    The game has up to 4 player co-op too which is really cool. It's actually quite fun playing when friends come around and since the controls are quite basic it's easy for even novices to pick up the game. They are able to join or leave half way through without impacting your story mode. There are timed events and online challenges both of which are pretty addictive.

    Excellent visuals

    Cons:

    Online leaderboard is poorly designed

    It actually surprises me how cheap it is given how good the game is. I am one of the few people that have platinumed Rayman Legends. To do that I had to complete the story mode for both Rayman Origins (included with this game) and Rayman Legends. I then had to complete a number of daily and weekly challenges where my world rank at the end of the challenge gave me points. For me this was the best bit. I loved trying to better my time/score and figuring out all the little tricks to get my rank into the top 1% (and occasional top 10) to get that elusive diamond trophy. I quite quickly became really addicted particularly as my competency improved. I would actually give this 10 out of 10 if the online leaderboard wasn't so poorly designed!

    I'd give this game 75% rating based on the normal levels and bonus multiplayer material - but I'm rating it a 9 purely for HOW GOOD the music levels are. I had read it featured them, and being a fan of rabids on the Wii, I half expected a Parappa-the-rapper-style beat-along mode, but it far surpasses that. The music levels are still platformer based in principle, but as it scrolls along the jumps and things you have to do tie in perfectly with the music, giving the level rhythm.

    Yani bu tarz oyunlar genel olarak tek kişi oynandığında daha az zevkli olabiliyor. Eşinizle , kardeşinizle, yada misafirle çok zevkle oynanabilecek bir oyun. Bazı kitlelere hitap etmeyebilir. Bu yüzden oyunun kutulu alınmasında fayda var. Sıkılırsanız satarsınız.

    This is the first game I've played long enough to warrant a review. And it's pretty great. An insane number of levels - which also makes playing with a friend humorous and fun. Daily challenges keep you coming back. Pretty trivial point - the trophies you can win are very achievable just by enjoying the game. Only had a ps2 before FINALLY getting a ps4 (best decision of 2016 so far) andThis is the first game I've played long enough to warrant a review. And it's pretty great.

Only had a ps2 before FINALLY getting a ps4 (best decision of 2016 so far) and had never played the rayman series before but so glad I picked this game up. I never plan on paying full price for any game but this one would've been worth the $40!… Expand

    Dieses Spiel ist der absolute Wahnsinn. Die Level sind so liebevoll gestaltet und abwechslungsreich. Die Musik ist einfach Hammer! Und das allgemeine Design ist mega!
    Ein Jump and Run den man gespielt haben sollte!

    Rayman Legends is a phenomenal 2D platformer. Awesome artwork, beautiful graphics, plenty of humor, crazy levels, hidden collectibles, great gameplay mechanics, a nice football game called Kung Foot (at least I have fun with it), daily online challenges with leaderboards, local co-op (no online), but most of all I love the musical levels, I just wish there were more of them in this game.Rayman Legends is a phenomenal 2D platformer.

Not only that, nearly half the levels of the previous game (Rayman Origins) are included in Rayman Legends as a bonus. So it's essentially a 2-in-1 package, Rayman Legends + Origins. That doesn't mean Rayman Legends' levels are too few and Ubisoft made up for it by including Origins levels, there are plenty of those wholly new levels.

    The only downside of Rayman Legends is its roots in WiiU-style asymmetrical multiplayer, because the game once was meant to be a WiiU exclusive. There are instances where you have to use Murphy to cut ropes, rotate the screen, or move platforms in order to proceed through a level. It was originally conceived for dual screen gameplay, but on PS4, depending on the situation, you do that by either pressing the O button (you control Rayman and Murphy automatically does something in the level's environment) or by pressing R1/L1 to rotate the screen. This whole process is unintuitive to be honest and all it does is break the game's pace. I just wish Ubisoft had removed all that WiiU nonsense from the non-WiiU versions of the game because when you are playing multiplayer one player has to sit idle and wait for the very few times he can act as Murphy, and when you are playing solo you have your pace broken apart.    … Expand

    One of the best platform games ever, definitely. Yes, there are other great platformers, yes, Mario Galaxies are great adventures with tons of things to find and places to go to but if you look for a pure platform adventure, this should be on the top of your list.

    It took me almost a year to get the Platinum trophy somewhere back in 2015 but I play the game even two years later.

Ob nun das traumhafte Design, die albernen Animationen, der große Umfang oder die coolen Musik-Levels: Das Spiel sprüht förmlich vor Abwechslung und guter Laune. Auch die lange Entwicklungszeit hat dem Spiel offenbar gut getan. Die Abschnitte sind bemerkenswert gut ausbalanciert – frustige Bosskämpfe oder Fluchtsequenzen tauchen diesmal nicht auf. Trotzdem gibt es jede Menge knallharte Herausforderungen für Profis. Schade, dass alle Figuren lediglich ein überschaubares Repertoire gleicher Fähigkeiten besitzen – und dass es keinen Online-Koop gibt. Davon abgesehen gibt es aber kaum etwas zu kritisieren. Rayman Legends baut zwar lediglich auf einem altbekannten Spielprinzip auf, perfektioniert dieses aber auf eindrucksvolle Weise!… Expand

    Excellent jeu de type plate-forme ! De plus, il y a vraiment un nombre élevé de niveaux considérant qu'on peut faire également certains tableaux de Rayman origins. Graphiquement, c'est très bien fait et la quête est très motivante ! Rayman Legends est une valeur sûre. Le jeu était offert gratuitement plus tôt cette année pour les membres du PS4 plus.

    If you also take into account the discounted price point, massive amount of variety, and local multiplayer, then it’s impossible not to recommend this dream package to anyone with even a passing interest in the side-scrolling genre.
