    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.

    You have to enjoy Rayman... you just have to! This game has so much going for it, and it is co op! The graphics are charming, the controls are great, and it is a blast to play!

    Decent platformer, but can get boring after a few worlds. I did like that at the end of each world there was a music stage, and I liked the timed challenges. all characters that you can unlock are basically all the same just a different skin... Decent game overall, can be tough at times and I really like a challenge..

    I initially reviewed this game a 9/10 as my first impressions was very good (worthy of a 9) - that was the first hour or two in the game but because i found it so so repetitive i had to drop it to a 8.5, however its still a great game and is just outstanding for children and adults a like but i just think its a tad repetitive thats why i would give it a 8.5/10

    Pretty fun platformer with ability to play it through for just the fun of gaming or for complexity gamer of collect all the Metals and Teensies. I highly recommend this game... and currently May 2018 is free through PlayStation Plus. The only issue I have is a couple of achievements that people report can take a month to a few months of playing to 100% the achievements. 9/10

    What a great game. The level design, the variety, art style, music, music synced levels, rewards, collectibles, difficulty ramp, so much love has been poured into this game. Nothing is lacking, everything is top notch, even the end credits are cool! If you like platformers at all this is a must play.

    An energetic, creative and above all else hilarious platformer which takes the tried and true formula from its many predecessors and breathes new life into it. Brimming with style, challenge and a large amount of varied content I would personally place this title up to the very high standards of Rayman 2.

    A great platforming game. Rayman Legends combines classic platforming action with dazzling graphics and a great soundtrack. The only reason I didn't rate it as 10/10 is because the game's difficulty level is a bit on the 'easy' side, especially if you're an experienced player of platform games.

    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.
    I am a fan of Mario games, but not really a platform player - but this is really good fun and huge!

    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.

    The game has a very good soundtrack. And all the tunes are catchy.
