    Incredibly imaginative, extremely motivating and visually a treat: With Rayman Legends Switch users can look forward to one of the best 2D platformers of the last generation on their system.

    The best choice to discover Rayman Legends if you hadn't the opportunity to play this great platformer before.

    With stellar gameplay, wonderful art and a superb soundtrack, Rayman Legends is one of the best platformer games ever released, hands down.

    The new version of Rayman Legends for Switch, despite not offering significant additions, again proves that the Ancel game is one of the best modern platformers.

    This edition of Rayman Legends offers almost everything the previous versions offered. And for fourty bucks this is a lot. The game looks fantastic and feels everything but old or obsolete. This is simply a must have for Switch owners.

    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.

    There just isn't enough here to justify warranting a purchase of Definitive Edition. It's slightly worse than its prior counterparts (even forgoing the Wii U's gameplay twist with Murfy and not letting another Switch user connect and play in that particular way), and the only truly new feature is the ability to play a tournament mode in the Kung Foot soccer minigame.

On the big screen it is flawless HD with no hiccups. This game is what we've come to expect, specially if you have played all generations of Rayman. The game has so much content it can be overwhelming sometimes but that's what u get on a definitive edition. The vita version does not hold a candle to this version.… Expand

    Ubisoft has saved the Switch in my view. Two excellent (best) third party games with a short time. Nintendo alone can't release enough good games. Let's hope this continues!

    Finally we starting to get a good library of switch games to play. I am no longer stuck with just Zelda and nothing more to do than look for korok seeds!    … Expand
