Rayman Legends HD Xbox One Review - Daily Joystick Podcasts

Paul from DJ Podcasts writes "Rayman is back, again for more glorious platforming and teensy rescuing except this time in full HD and of course the coveted 1080p/60fps which has become the goal post for next generation. However are the pretty graphics and a re-release on next generation enough to entice you to step back into Rayman? "

I can honestly say I haven't this much fun on a side scrolling platformer since SNES days... I'm not saying no other platformer has been good, just that IMHO I feel like a kid again playing this game. I think it has to do with high quality level design but also it just feels original and not a rehash of the same things we've seen for the last 30 years. It's just damn refreshing.

Never played a Rayman game. Is it suitable for a 5 year old, or quite challenging?

DaGamingKing3705d ago

I have my 6 yr old who plays along with me and can do the first few levels but gets stuck when controlling murphy sometimes or lining up platforms. But, the levels with easy running and jumping she is fine with. In all honesty, the Rayman App on IOS is super easy as it just involves tapping and she is a master at that.

Depends on the child but I'd say a great game for kids 6+ and they may just redo the first levels over and over again.

Thanks, appreciate the response.

Will There Ever Be A New Rayman Game?

Ubisoft barely have a leg to stand on lately, so do they need to crack open the vaults and return platforming royalty to glory for some goodwill?

We need Rayman 4, they could make a great platformer game if they wanted. With the open hub levels and the like.

Better than relying on Rabbids and Assassins Creed all the time

Yeah agree id love a Rayman 2 style 3d platform game over another 2d platformer I know people loved legends but it never gelled with me same as Rayman 1 back in the day on PS it just felt like a average platformer with sonic and Mario offering something better on what was then last gen hardware

Yes..but I am sure it won't be the Rayman game fans want. Not from the company that is Ubisoft today.

mastershredder50d ago (Edited 50d ago )

Ancel is retired from games. His hoodlum/rabbid team are doing their own thing. It would not be the same if Ubisoft did.

Profchaos50d ago

Probably far more profitable to make low effort Rabbids games aimed at kids over a next Rayman

Chocoburger50d ago

Experience points, skill trees to fill up, level gating, endless menial tasks and side quests, constantly scrounging for resources. Always having to upgrade your gear. A.KA. "The Ubisoft effect".

No thanks, don't ruin Rayman's legacy.

Profchaos50d ago

Sure there will be it'll launch right alongside the next splinter cell

Rayman Legends - 10 Years of Legendary Platforming

Rayman Legends made its debut 10 years ago today, and has been launched on nearly every gaming platform since.

HankHill232d ago

Too bad Ubisoft only cares about live service games now. Maybe one day they'll make a new Rayman game.

Venoxn4g232d ago

Great games.. would be cool to get qn Origins remaster at least..I know that many of the levels are in Legends, but still

Outlawzz232d ago

Loved this game but wish they would create a new Rayman 3d game.
