    Great game, but you can’t change the keybinds, which was quite disappointing. The game is a bit small, but it has lots of replay value.

    In my opinion, it‘s the second best platformer.

    What a beautiful game this is! Tons of fun, old levels, great additions and all of this in smooth 60 FPS on a mobile console. Great job!

    Very good game.It runs perfectly on the Nintendo switch and the gameplay is fun.But they didn't improve much to call it the "definitive edition"

    This is fun. Simple sweet fun. Sometimes it goes on sale on the eShop for ten bucks. You won’t regret this for ten bucks assuming you enjoy solid side-scrolling platforming.

    With better level flow, incentive for replayability, and a simply rocking fun time, the Rayman reboot sequel is everything you could want! (Except that the Switch version of the Murphy's Touch bonus levels are impassable due to their incompatibility with the gyroscope in the rotation segments, for some reason.)

    Rayman Legend is the best part in the Rayman series, but I advise you to go through Rayman Origins first

    Just wow excellent level design great challenges better than Mario's 2d platformer just go and buy it now if you love creative level design and challenges every day and enjoy rayman but some level design seems too uninspired and when it happens it's very noticeable

Also try the daily and weekly challenges!… Expand

    This game is my favorite game of all time. The art-style is awesome, the controls on point and the levels each feel unique. Plus it can get really challenging, if you wanna 100% it, cause there's basically two games here with the bonus levels.

    I bought this game a total of three times. PS3, PS4 and switch and each play and feel the same

    Amazing game with cool and interesting levels. You can spend hours upon hours playing this and you won't get bored whatsoever. There is this extra challenge for those who want it and i like that, satisfying rhythm levels with great songs.

    An amazing 2D platformer. I just love the art style on this. The level design and music are great. This game has been released on 1000 consoles already, but it feels so good on handheld mode on the Switch that you don't want to play it any other way.

(I even haven't tried the game in multiplayer yet, after what I read that's pretty fun).
    That's why I forgive it its almost non-existent plot and its hub I needed a few minutes to orient myself in.

    A real delight this game! I'm at more than 55 hours played and still haven't rescued every Teensie.    … Expand

    Great game! Especially the music-rhythm based platforms. Great visuals and amazing music score. Some platforms mechanics are interesting but others are weird and cumbersome. Some levels are easy but there’s some that are quite difficult because of the precision in the jumps.

    Игра очень сильно затягивает. Я буквально уже 3 дня подряд играю только в Раймана.
    Очень радует рисовка уровней.
    Саундтрек игры очень приятный
    Всем советую ознакомиться с игрой

    This is probably the best platformer i have ever played. I got it for 10$ when there was a sale on the e-shop and i don't regret it. I truly recommend this to anyone who wants a good platformer for a low price.

    I’m not usually into 2D games but this one is just a joy. It’s challenging but not to the point you’re frustrated. There level variety and a fun soccer mini game. If you can get this for >$10, do it.

    Literally one of my favorite games of all time. Super creative in so many ways. It's fun with friends, it's fun alone, it's just an overall blast. One of the greatest 2d platformers of all time and easily the best game in the Rayman Franchise.

    In bringing the latest Rayman adventure to Switch, Ubisoft has given the machine easily one of its most visually stunning and enjoyable releases to date. Not quite living up to the moniker of Definitive Edition with increased loading times and performance hiccups, as well as a missing feature, Rayman Legends is still well worth the lower asking price to those yet to jump into Rayman's world, yet outside of the portability aspect it offers little to entice series veterans.

    Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition adds new elements to the original but does not try to to revolutionize the game. It doesn't need to, as it's already a fun, varied and compelling piece of work, which becomes more alluring thanks to the added handheld component of the Nintendo Switch.
