I grew up with platforming video games but over the years the magic seemed to take a backseat to gimmicks and graphics, Rayman Legends embraces what came before it and makes for an almost nostalgic journey.
Though Rayman has been around few a fair while and has had a number of games under his belt I've never enjoyed one. I don't know what it was whether it be the character, the universe or the floaty hands combat but I never appreciated it and subsequently never really gave later titles much of a chance. Thanks to the excellent Raving Rabbids however he stayed on my radar and when Rayman Legends came around I gave it a go.
Reminding me of classic 2D platforming titles the game truly has it all. Vast amounts of content from the levels to the characters to the side objectives, it's a game that should you aim for 100% will keep you occupied for likely months.
Furthermore the difficulty is perfectly balanced, it's accessible yet spikes near the end when you're trying to finish all the additional content.
To top it off the game has an array of musical interlude levels and they are perfectly crafted, catchy, near rhythm game territory and I found them the highlight of all the hours I put into this excellent title.
For fans of old school platform this is essential gaming.
The Good:
Vast amounts of content
Very well balanced
Musical levels
The Bad:
Still not keen on the character
Some frustrating elements
