    Even if you've played this on other platforms, there is something special about this game which makes it perfect for "on the go" with the Nintendo Switch! Such a great platformer, the music stages are a blast! One of the best 2D platformers for your money that don't start in "Super Mario"!

    One of the best platformers ever made is now even better on the Nintendo Switch. Graphics are awesome, gameplay amazing and the amount of content is well worth the purchase. 10/10.

    Absoloutely loved this game. It was an extremely unique and fun 2D platformer. The visuals were great, The levels were amazing and breathtaking, and the music was also really great. It also had exclusive Mario and Luigi costumes for Rayman and Globox. This game is really fun and best when played with friends.

    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.

    Overall, this game charmed my socks off. It's visually gorgeous, and the music makes it feel truly magical. There are a few levels that are just frustrating, and not the fun kind of frustrating, but it's an overall joyous experience.

    What a magically game. I don't like platforms much, yet, this game charmed the pants off me. Every inch of Rayman, is Quality, and the Music levels are Genius. Video on my Youtube: PLAYwithGREGG

    Visually it is wonderful and is a very entertaining game. The reason I cannot give this higher then an 8 is because we have seen this all before. Nothing much was added to the game from the Wii U version. If this game was $19.99 I would rate higher.

    Me encanta, este juego en switch funciona increíblemente bien. Es buenísimo uno de los mejores plataformas 2d que he jugado últimamente. La única pega que le veo es que esta en todas las demás consolas y en la switch esta el precio alto y si tienes las otras consolas y este juego no lo jugarías demasiado en portátil pues no lo compres en la switch.

    Never played a Rayman game before but damn, this is so fun. I completed it within 3 days, because it is so addictive. The levels are great, perfectly balanced and scale beautifully into each next part of the game. I wish it was even longer, but hey, you can always come back to this game for the daily challenges. Thanks ubisoft for this port to the switch.

    Classic platforming with great music, tight controls and oozing creativity. The musical boss levels are extremely satisfying and classic Nintendo hard. The best part of the difficulty is that continues are infinite with reasonable checkpoints, so it's much easier to learn how levels are constructed to master them all.

Which is a good thing, because there are dozens of levels and upgrades and collectibles everywhere. You can try to binge this game, but it's probably better as a game to play hard for a few hours and then come back to days or even weeks later. It's great because even though the levels are super creative, the construct of 2-d platforming is best in smaller doses and most levels are small enough to beat in just a few minutes.… Expand

    This game is good. I can't say anything else. I played the wii u version and was impressed and this improves that game even thought it was almost perfect. Music stages are a yes. Bosses are pretty cool. Characters are good. The second land of living dead painting is ye- I mean hatred. Pure raw hatred. Um other than that its good. Get it. Now.

On ne pourra lui reprocher qu'un manque de trame scénaristique... Il n'y a pas vraiment d'histoire, vont parcourez les niveaux sans réel but.

    Ce que j'ai aimé (+) :
    - La réalisation technique
    - L'ambiance sonore
    - La progressivité au niveau de la difficulté
    - Les stages musicaux
    - le mode coop

    Ce que je n'ai pas aimé :
    - L'inutilité des monstres
    - Le manque de scénario

    This game is great. The artstyle is very cartoony, and the gameplay is very fluid. This game is definitely enough to make long car rides easy.

    It's a lot of fun. Never played a prior version and was happy to pick the game up on sale for 20 bucks. Love the music levels, and there's a lot of added humor in the game. Can be found on sale everywhere, so don't pay full sticker price.

    It's sad to see the Switch get the worst version of a wonderful game. [Issue #30 – November/December 2017, p. 63]

    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.
