The game just looks so vibrant and the colours just pop out of the game, both in TV mode and tablet. Graphically, Rayman Legends looks amazing on the Nintendo Switch with its high definition graphics and a colour palette that looks like it has been taken from the 1971 film Willy Wonka and Chocolate Factory. All in all, Rayman Legends is what arcade gaming is all about and works flawlessly on this console. Controls are perfectly mapped on the console and it’s great that the game swaps between single-player and multiplayer with perfect transition. The multiplayer component of the game is also pretty flawless and does offer challenges for players which increases the longevity of the title. There’s even a ‘football’ game called Kung Foot that makes for a fun game of virtual soccer in the Rayman universe. In terms of stages, there’s around 40 which offers plenty of variety and challenges to be found along the way. There’s also a total of 34 playable characters, including exclusives such as Mario Rayman, the Prince of Persia and even the Assassin’s Creed Rayman. The gyroscope feature works well but can become a little annoying if you want to lazily lay on the couch. Another cool element about the Nintendo Switch version is that the developers have incorporated the touch screen which does make for interacting with the game a much more solid experience. The level design behind Rayman Legends is still one of the best 2D platformers to date with lots of challenges, power-ups and characters to be found along the way. There are also a variety of characters that you can choose opposed to Rayman which is great for multiplayer. Like most arcade games you do face the token boss battle which requires you to find a weakness in their virtual armour and is more puzzle meets combat. Lums on the other hand gives players additional medals to collect and scratchies that unlock new characters and galleries. However Teensies do unlock additional content such as levels and challenges. For those gamers that don’t have the time to collect them all, you can still finish the game. As you explore this world and if you really want to get even more immersed, players have the option of collecting all the Teensies and Lums in the game which can be quite tricky. Thankfully the developers have mapped out the controls to make this process quite easy such as tickling an ogre or moving floating shapes while still controlling your main character.īut what makes Rayman Legends so exciting is the variety of different levels and each area that you play is quite different, including the challenges you face which keeps this game quite fresh and entertaining. In single player you do need the help of other characters to get you through the game such as Murfy the Frog.
The game also offers players a cooperative experience which is equally if not more entertaining than the single player. It’s basically that classic clichéd plot that is actually quite fun and what arcade game wouldn’t include token rescues. Furthermore, it makes for a great 2-player game, particularly with the use of the Joy-Cons which is where this console shines and the game.Īt its core, Rayman Legends is a 2D arcade platformer with modern gaming mechanics as our popular Ubisoft hero returns to rescue all the Teensies who have been abducted by a nefarious evil.
