IGN • • technology
Key Points:
- Rayman Legends Retold is a 2.5D remake of the 2013 platformer, which looks good but does not visually surpass the original 2D version, raising questions about the necessity of the remake.
- The game integrates new content such as musical platforming levels, new stages, a revamped Kung Foot mode, and includes the full Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition with the standard $40 version.
- Gameplay remains strong, maintaining the original's challenging yet fair platforming mechanics, with added features like "golden hearts" and "Fairy Blessing" to reduce player frustration.
- The game offers diverse themed hub areas with creative level designs, including unique mechanics like shrinking and a flying helper named Murphy, providing fresh platforming challenges.
- While not groundbreaking, Rayman Legends Retold is a well-executed, content-rich remake that may appeal to new players and those awaiting new platformers on the Switch 2, with hopes for a future original Rayman title.
