The weird thing to see come back is the character Murphy, who was the character that performed your touch screen actions on the Wii U gamepad originally. It’s so refreshing to play a game without the fear of in-game death affecting your nerves! But by the same token, there’s no bonus or recognition for playing a flawless level, other than self-satisfaction. Deaths are tracked on your profile page, but you’re not penalised for deaths in levels that require a lot of restarts or tricky moments. The game rarely feels unfair, with deaths not being punished beyond a checkpoint restart. Playing through these levels, trying to rescue all the Teensies and collect all the Lums is where the longevity comes from, with most levels not offering a huge challenge, but a select few definitely wanting a few tries to 100%. There’s a threshold for lucky tickets as well, which can be scratched for a variety of prizes, including ported levels from Rayman Origins. Then each level measures Lums gathered, with different thresholds for bronze, silver, and gold. There are 10 Teensies in most levels, with two of them being royal Teensies, which are hidden in their own separate puzzle rooms.
But your performance in the level is dictated by two things- captured Teensies to rescue, and Lums, which is the game’s equivalent to coins. There are simply too many gameplay gimmicks for me to list, but thankfully, everything makes sense and is easy to grasp quickly, thanks to a fantastic art style and imaginative cues.Īs you’d expect, you beat the level by just getting to the end. If you’re still on the fence here, I’ll get into how it all works a bit more.Įach level is fairly straightforward, with a different gameplay mechanic taking the spotlight for the level, which can be anything from shrinking Rayman, gliding through a level while ‘shooting’ punches, or navigating through bites taken out of giant blocks of cake. So straight up, if you’re after a good single player game with a very satisfying measured progression, you can probably stop reading and get it. So if you don’t know anything about Rayman Legends, it’s pretty easy to summarise- a very fluid platformer, with a huge amount of levels and activities to play in, each with their own secrets and goals within. So the majority of this review will be from the perspective of somebody only just getting into Rayman Legends now, but if you want to know if it’s worth the double dip on Switch if you’ve already played it, I’ll put my thoughts on that near the end! And Rayman Legends Definitive Edition has everything the original had, plus a few bonuses, making this version the best way to play Rayman Legends, either at home on the TV, or out and about. That much has been true since the original release in 2013. Rayman Legends is a really well made, gorgeous and incredibly fun game.
