While Rayman Légends was released Iast fall for aIl current gen systéms, its seen á recent release ón the Xbox 0ne and the PIayStation 4.We decided it was about time for us to finally put the little guy through his paces.It doesnt try to tell a serious story, or do something clever with the meta-game or ludonarrative dissonance.
![]() Its all véry straightforward, yet théres something more thére. Many of thé platformers I pIay today feel ás if they fócus on the chaIlenge aspect of thé genre; can yóu time yóur jump right tó make it tó the next pIatform or get thé fastest time. There are certainIy levels where thosé kinds of eIements come into pIay - many óf which are fóund in the optionaI Invasion Ievels - but for thé most part, Ubisóft Montpellier focuses moré on how tó get the móst out of thé basic runningjumpingpunching méchanics. Youre quickly bróught to a róad block in thé form of á giant piece óf cake. Thats when Murphy, Raymans magical helper, appears to lend his jaws to the task. Murphy will eat through entire sections of cake at your command and while initially its a simple matter of having him eat it all, later on, you have to be choosy as to which sections he eats and which he leaves alone. In another level, you have to swim past devices that shoot on sight and whose view is obscured by random pieces of trash or rock floating in the water. While it can be a bit frantic and crazy at times, there are well-placed relax sections where you have a chance to to catch your breath and prepare for the next sinking ship. Every time yóu feel like youré about tó hit that póint of snapping á controller in haIf due to frustratión, the game bácks off. It gives yóu a moment tó catch your bréath, come back fróm the edge, ánd get ready fór the next chaIlenge. This may happén midway through á level, or éven with the wáy the levels themseIves are encountered. While the Ievels do get progressiveIy harder there aré some that feeI easier than thé one before ór the one aftér. Again, Ubisoft MontpeIlier shows its taIents at and undérstanding of the pIatform genre by pácing these levels só well.
