    Meiner Meinung nach, ist dies eins der besten 2d-jump and runs, die jemals entwickelt wurden. Egal ob zu zweit, zu dritt, zu viert oder auch alleine, man hat garantiert Spaß mit diesem Spiel. ABSOLUTE Kaufempfehlung für jeden 2d Platformerfan.

    I do not like the songs in this game because they are too hard for me to congest properly

    but the rest of the game is OK

    I hate platformers that's my one gripe with the game

    The single player is very solid but what has ultimately ruined the entire game experience for me is the stupid challenge mode and how it is basically impossible for any human to actually get the top weekly rewards with hoe utterly ripe with cheaters the leader boards is. The times and scores there are simply so obviously not possible, regardless of skill and time.

And then there is the poorly designed trophy that outright requires you to waste time month after month to get one singluar trophy if you want to go for platinum. Even tho the rest of them can be done in a day or two. It's so artificial and bad form to attach such a trophy to such a task. I get this sounds dramatic for what was otherwise up to this point a great experience of a game but the fact is that I've had to spend around 95% of my time in that stupid challenge thing which is repetitive and meaningless. So that is sadly what mainly colors my complete picture of the game… 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

    Also this game is hilarious, from the over-the-top animations to the quirky sounds and cool character designs, it's just very funny.

    Unfortunately though, the game is very short, and it doesn't have many gamemodes, which is quite disappointing.

    That being said, I still really enjoyed it, it's a blast to play through with other players, and I totally recommend it.

    Surprisingly, a lot of fun with the variety of different levels, challenges, characters, and bosses. For a 2D platformer, it's an outstanding game, but most importantly, one of the best things to play for two people. Took my partner and I a good few days to complete it, and we thoroughly enjoyed it!

    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

    Rayman: Legends (2013) is a hilarious action-packed sequel of Rayman origins. Somehow managing to be better than the amazing previous game. Rayman: Legends (2013) has great graphics, gameplay, music, and is just an all-around fun adventure.
