Rayman Legends

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.

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.

Okay, so I may have gushed a lot over Rayman Origins, but this? Nah, this is what deserves the gushing, although I would mainly be repeating myself, so I'll try to keep it brief.

Much of the gameplay is what has already been seen in Origins, but the controls are so much better. Not once did I find myself stuck on a wall like I did in Origins, or struggling to just nudge Rayman off a ledge, And someone clearly thought the same thing as me about the inherent rhythm of the last game, because it is back in spades here. The level design is constantly some of the best I've ever seen in a 2D platformer, yet so much more varied than anything seen in Origins. And whoever came up with those musical stages is simply an utter genius.

Story again is really not a focus of this game, but again, what's here is still really funny and endearingly quirky. And the graphics...oh my, the graphics. I don't know how to describe them, but wow. Gorgeous, in a word. There's remastered levels from Origins here, a new local multiplayer mode that is tons of dumb fun, daily and weekly challenges, and all in all, this game is virtually perfect to me.

If there's one little thing I could complain about, it's that I don't find the music all that memorable, especially not when compared to Origins. Even that I'm hesitant to criticise though, because you have no idea how much I played Origins as a child, so that soundtrack is forever embedded in my brain.

But like Origins, this game is criminally slept on, so y'all should get on that right now. Like, now now.

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.

A very good game about the cooperation part. I enjoyed a lot of the cooperation part and i enjoyed to finish the. Game. I found it very good even if the game is pretty short.
