It's stunning platforming, with a move-set and dynamism unique to this fresh new series for the Rayman character, and it's memorable. It deserves to be enjoyed by all platforming fans that own a Wii U; it should not be missed.

These PS4 and Xbox One versions of Rayman Legends will inevitably be compared to the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. There is no doubt that they offer a better graphic rendering, while eliminating loading times. So if you're a next-gen console owner and you've missed this great game, don't hesitate for a second and throw yourself on it!

Rayman Legends lands on PS Vita with a little delay and for the moment a few less levels (invasions). Fortunately, these levels will be added for free soon and in the end we will end up with a version more provided than on consoles of living room, since it benefits from 5 exclusive levels. Despite loading times a bit longer than other platforms (but very acceptable), Rayman Legends offers touch gameplay perfectly suited to Sony's portable console.

Ubisoft has succeeded in a small miracle: proposing an even better platformer than Origins. Rayman Legends surpasses its predecessor not only quantitatively, but also qualitatively. Everything from level design to the graphic sector shines with its own light, giving us not only one of the best platformers of recent years, but also a new spearhead for the softeca of the performance PS Vita.

For those who would be surprised to see a "simple" 4.5 on Rayman Legends, while he sets the bar higher than his older Origins, know that we did not feel the urge to make it a cult episode. Fantastic as it is, the real revolution was Rayman Origins and today Legends is just taking the experience a step further. My last days on Rayman Legends really transported me, just as Rayman Origins knew how to do it more than a year ago.

The "next-gen" version of Rayman Legends is not a re-release, a remake designed to bring out the best in the new Sony and Microsoft hardware. It is, more simply, the same title released six months ago, which today can be played on two other consoles. If you have not yet had the pleasure of discovering the new course of the Ubisoft platformer, the advice is now the same as then: make it yours without hesitation.

Rayman Legends is a videogame without pretense, and that might be the most crucial decision its designers made without even realizing it.

A gorgeous, joy-filled, characterful platformer. Aside from a few minor niggles, Rayman Legends deserves a place alongside the very best examples of the genre. It looks ever-so slightly prettier on Xbox One, but that's about it. Nonetheless, Rayman Legends is still highly recommended.

Rayman Legends' unique, quirky tune introduces new steps into an old dance. Although the absurd nature of the game might be a hurdle to some, Ubisoft crafted it with enough skill and confidence to tie together all the disparate strands into a cohesive, enjoyable whole. A lot of care went into making Rayman Legends, and the refreshing result of that care is a platformer that can proudly stand beside the genre's greats.

While in many ways superior to Origins I’m giving it the same score because it’s a little bit too similar in places, nevertheless Rayman Legends is one of the best platformers of all time and you should definitely buy it if you want to have a smile on your face.

Rayman Legends is the evolution of Rayman Origins. The developers have been able to improve most of the aspects of the previous title, and the result is a game that can certainly be counted in the Olympus of the most beautiful platformers of the last five years.

Rayman Legends is one of the best 2D platformers of the decade. The game has virtually everything – different levels, a mass of finds and a properly balanced difficulty level. On PS4 it looks lovely, it's just a pity that the news is so insignificant.

‎Rayman Legends is one and remains a good game. It was already super on the current-gen consoles and is even better on the next-gen consoles. Ubisoft hasn't been sitting still and really did something to make a difference between this version and the earlier version for the older consoles. If you don't have the game yet, you'll have to go get it anyway. If you already have the game for other consoles, then you have to start asking yourself if the game is worth it and whether the pluses improve so much that you have to have the game a second time.‎

‎Rayman Legends is a game that should be in everyone's closet. The game is accessible and ensures that you will always do your best, but without causing irritations. However, you will find that you have to replay levels because you just missed that one piece or have not collected enough Lums. The game's graphical style is upbeat, and everything seems to fit right together in the various themes the game offers. The ability to walk through the levels with your friends is fun from start to finish, but will inevitably lead to a chaos where you only bother each other. All in all, Rayman Legends is a fantastic game that should definitely be among the big names at the top!‎

Rayman Legends lands on next-gen hardware with the same compelling gameplay and colorful visuals. But someone will miss the joyful and inventive Wii U co-op mode.
