Boss fights require some trial and error (in my case, lots of error), but feel rewarding upon completion. Certainly these are the core mechanics, but there is a sense of exploration as you try to find hidden passages or power-ups that keep you alive a little longer. Thankfully, there is a lot more going on here than just simple running and jumping. However, if it just left off there, I might find myself struggling to stay interested in the game. So on a technical level, Rayman checks all of those boxes nicely. Rayman Legends is effective on so many levels, ranging from the brilliantly detailed and animated visuals to a charming soundtrack and tight controls. If you read Matt’s review, you can tell he too had a good time playing it. This is technically an update to the already excellent Rayman Legends that released last year. Frustrating, fun, fast-paced while also making me think, I had my kids all sitting around me in the living room watching me play it and giving me advice before trying their own hands at it. I do not say this lightly, but Rayman Legends was amazing.
I have only ever played one other Rayman game so far, and that was Rayman Origins on the Vita several months ago.īetween that experience and the newly released Rayman Legends, I am going to have to consider this series another essential among platformers. Only a handful of platforming series feel like ‘must-play’ when they release, like the venerable Super Mario titles. That is why when a platforming title comes out that I find impossible to put down, I really have to give it a considerable amount of credit. I had some older consoles like the TI99/4a and Atari to keep me busy as a little kid and then when the NES came out I got to experience the wonders of Super Mario Bros. Platforming games were my bread and butter growing up.
