Rayman Legends is just brilliant. It’s literally exactly the type of 2D platformer that I like, and ticks off pretty much all the boxes to be a great one. Starting off, the level design is very good throughout and also really creative; each level brings something new to the table in terms of a level gimmick or theme, and I can’t even recall a single level that was unfun to play, which is quite impressive for a game with 100+ levels (though I haven’t played all of them yet). Not only are the gimmicks and themes fun but the levels feel dynamic, constantly changing as you’re moving through the level, this is for example demonstrated by the enemies that will float into the level on a parachute. The levels also have a really good flow and rhythm (sometimes literally) to them, which makes it so you can almost always keep up the pace and are almost never forced to stop, and I enjoy that a lot. This is helped by the solid movement; the dash move beautifully destroys everything in its path as it should and you’re able to jump out of it for a nice momentum booster, and the other moves including the wall jump, the various attacks you can do in mid-air, and the float all fulfill their function nicely in helping with platforming and making the level design more varied. Speaking of variety, the game absolutely soars in that department while never becoming unfocused regarding its identity as a 2D platformer because all of the levels are still platforming challenges first and foremost: with the standouts being the speedrun levels, music levels, and the dojo challenge levels. Even most of the boss levels are still just that: actual levels that also incorporate platforming sections next to fighting the boss. As for the production values: the game has a great art style that complements the levels well, and the backgrounds stand out with their easy to miss cute details. There is also a lot of content in this game, as said earlier it has 100+ levels and around a billion unlockables, so this was definitely worth my 20 bucks and then some. The one aspect of the game that doesn’t hit the same highs as the rest of the package is the soundtrack: it’s decent, it’s serviceable, it does its job, and does fit the game nicely, but outside of the music levels which are unfortunately scarce it just never reaches the same level of awesomeness that permeates the rest of the experience. Overall, Rayman Legends simply knocks it out of the park: stellar level design, mechanics and movement along with pleasant visuals and substantial content. There’s not much more I can ask for from a modern 2D platformer.

MEUS AMIGOS, ESSE JOGO É O ÁPICE DOS JOGOS DE PLATAFORMA 2D!

A gameplay flui muito bem, os visuais são muitos lindos, e a trilha sonora simplesmente dispensa comentários.
Ela é tão maravilhosa que tem até fases musicais!

Esse jogo é bem generoso na questão de dificuldade, tem bastante checkpoints e MUITO conteúdo! Eu simplesmente zerei ele e ainda falta muita coisa para fazer. Ainda pretendo fazer depois.

Meus únicos pontos negativos a destacar são coisas bem bobas, tipo o fato da interface desse jogo ser bem poluída. Por exemplo, você passa de uma fase e já sai ganhando um monte de coisa parecendo um jogo mobile, mas depois de um tempo você se acostuma.

Se você é fã de plataformas, eu não sei o que você ainda tá fazendo aqui! VÁ JOGAR AS LENDAS DO RAYMUNDO AGORA!
