Editor Matt Buckley writes: "Platformers are a dime a dozen. For a new title to stand out in an ocean of them is an arduous task, and the ones that do are quickly thrust into the shadows of a certain plucky plumber and his brother. But there’s a new star in town, folks. From the pitch-perfect soundtrack and charming visuals to the flawless audio accents and multifarious gameplay, Rayman Legends is the best platformer – and one of the best games overall – on any console right now."
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.
Ancel is retired from games. His hoodlum/rabbid team are doing their own thing. It would not be the same if Ubisoft did.
Probably far more profitable to make low effort Rabbids games aimed at kids over a next Rayman
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.
A decade on from Rayman Legends' release, it remains a near perfect platformer, so what happened to Rayman? Will we ever see another sequel?
Rayman Legends made its debut 10 years ago today, and has been launched on nearly every gaming platform since.
Too bad Ubisoft only cares about live service games now. Maybe one day they'll make a new Rayman game.
Great games.. would be cool to get qn Origins remaster at least..I know that many of the levels are in Legends, but still
Great review. Yup, pretty much my favorite platformer aside from mario. Worth it.
Really good review. Can't wait for Tuesday! Getting this and Diablo 3 the same day lol
I can't in all honesty see how this game is getting a 98/100 when it uses OTHER PEOPLE's music.
Can't you guys create your own memorable tracks that I remember 20 years from now, instead of relying on other Artists songs and then re-doing them in stupid chipmunk voices and ruining them.
The music in these Rayman games are awful and a joke in terms of skill and talent. They just copy.
The rest of the game, the actual gameplay part is awesome though.
It's literally one of their only faults and when you see how many other games have GREAT music, yet they have to take real songs and add cipmunk voices to them ?
Pathetic at best.
That alone makes this game no better than a 86/100
