Rayman Legends

The game is really a huge contradiction for me. I haven't seen soo much variety in a game before. Every level is unique and refreshingly different. The worlds are bright, complex, colourful and the music only elevates the game to a different level altogether. All this really can give Mario a run for its money but the game is so frustratingly difficult that even a minuscule mistake such as not curving the left joystick of PS4 remote enough will cause you to play the same level over and over and over!

You life power is almost non-existent. As soon as as your character dies, you have to repeat the level from the beginning or if you are lucky enough, then from the seemingly scarce last-checkpoint. In Mario, at-least you have 3 goes before he hits the dust. In Rayman, you are lucky to have the heart which gives you just one extra hit before your character dies.

The levels, even though they are brilliant and different, if you hit the jump button a minute fraction quicker, this will cost your dearly. Added to this, you cannot long-jump and shoot at the same time making the already difficult game-play ever harder. And the timed-levels, unless you are a wiz, you will end up playing them about 100 times to successfully rescue all the 3 creatures stuck to ticking rockets.

Wish there was an easy mode so we can really enjoy the video game without getting mad at the game and the PS4 remote. Unfortunately, there isn't such an option so you will have to brave through your own tolerance levels if you decide to give this game a go. I mean, I played the final dragon level a 100 times before I could complete it. I don't think I have ever done this in any game before, no matter how difficult the boss battles are.

So, end verdict, even though this game has brilliance level designs and uniqueness, I would recommend everyone to give this a miss, that is unless you want to sit through hours of frustration and sore thumbs and wrists.

'Rayman Legends (2013)' is a 2D platformer featuring Ubisoft's long-standing, limbless hero. It has a wonderfully bright, hand-drawn aesthetic and is suitable for all ages. The gameplay is deceptively simple but incredibly satisfying. It flows together nicely and, especially in the musical levels, gives you a feeling of free-flowing empowerment. There's a lot to do here, with 'daily challenges' providing value far after you've finished the main campaign. That campaign is comprised of several distinct worlds, each of which bring their own enemies, mechanics and locations. Some levels are fairly challenging, too. Just because it looks friendly doesn't mean it isn't serious. It's a hugely enjoyable and charming experience throughout. It's the sort of platformer they don't really make any more. 8/10

The game is very good I've replayed the entire thing a lot it's very fun and challenging at time very good music and details in the backround overall I mostly never like 2d games but this one gives a Diamond cup get it? Anyways every level is so cool and unique funny and cute I take a point off because of the invasion levels I hate them because there is some that are nearly impossible to beat in under 40 seconds it took me almost 200 tries to get under 40 seconds in a quick sand invasion level but I love the game overall very fun bosses and unique game.

Rayman Legends is easily one of the best games to come out of Rayman. It could be my favorite so far since I have never finished the original trilogy. I will admit that it does have some minor issues like the same scenario for each time we get to The Magician. But it can be a really fun game thanks to a lot of improvement to the gameplay. The graphics have a big upgrade as a mix of 2D and 3D. The bosses and chases are really fun. In fact, you can tell the game designers took their time to make this an adventurous platform game. And probably the biggest highlight, the musical levels after you beaten the boss. The game does that by covering rock songs and gives the designers to play around with it for the designers to follow the rhythm. I'd say it's worth playing if you're in to play a platform adventure game. And if you didn't have Rayman Origins, this game has got you covered. You can also be able to unlock these levels from that game. I'll admit, that wouldn't tell everyone what happened in the first game. But thanks to the gameplay improvement, you can still have fun from the ones from Origins. As for this game, it's even better than Origins.

Rayman legends is characteristic of that old-school innocent style a game so simplistic and it just makes you feel happy playing it. Some of the levels are pure insanity and there were countless nooks and crannies to explore I spent so much time trying to 100% this game and I savored every minute of it fantastic energetic music makes gameplay so engaging. The controls are easy to understand and may take a bit of time to get used to but once you do they feel so clean. An amazing game that I feel doesn't get enough love.
