So the majority of this review will be from the perspective of somebody only just getting into Rayman Legends now, but if you want to know if it’s worth the double dip on Switch if you’ve already played it, I’ll put my thoughts on that near the end! And Rayman Legends Definitive Edition has everything the original had, plus a few bonuses, making this version the best way to play Rayman Legends, either at home on the TV, or out and about. That much has been true since the original release in 2013. Rayman Legends can be added to your Epic Games Library for free until Friday, 6th December.Rayman Legends is a really well made, gorgeous and incredibly fun game.

'The platform game has been around for so long that it's easy to assume that the genre has run out of surprises,' said Dan's review, 'A showcase for the game designer's art and one of the greatest platform games of this - or any - year, Rayman Legends disproves that in glorious style.'

There are fresh challenges awaiting in completed levels, courtesy of Invaded bonuses, a weird single-screen football game called Kung Foot, an avalanche of collectibles, plus daily and weekly leaderboard challenges. It's an enormously generous game too, with five of its six worlds - equating to 120 levels, 40 of which are remastered version of those seen in Origins - welcomely opening up early on to be tackled in any order.

Quite aside from its gorgeous facade though, Rayman Legends is a wonderful, ceaselessly inventive thing ( this is still one of my favourite bits of video game silliness ever).Īs Eurogamer contributor Dan Whitehead put it, 'What they've done is take an already wonderful wheel and polished it into something remarkable.' Unsurprisingly, Rayman Legends has much in common with its delightful predecessor Rayman Origins, dressing up the series' classic 2D platforming with some breathtaking presentational trimmings. Granted, you might already be up to your nose-pits in free games by this point, slowly sinking beneath the unstoppable deluge in flailing terror, but there's no denying that Rayman Legends is a worthy addition to any collection, even if it did come out 2013. Ubisoft's sublime platformer Rayman Legends is currently free to download on the Epic Store.
