For fans of old school platform this is essential gaming.Michel Ancel, the celebrated creator of Rayman®, Beyond Good & Evil®, and the Raving Rabbids®, returns to unleash his innovative creativity on this new entry into the Rayman® franchise. To top it off the game has an array of musical interlude levels and they are perfectly crafted, catchy, near rhythm game territory and I found them the highlight of all the hours I put into this excellent title. Furthermore the difficulty is perfectly balanced, it's accessible yet spikes near the end when you're trying to finish all the additional content. Vast amounts of content from the levels to the characters to the side objectives, it's a game that should you aim for 100% will keep you occupied for likely months. Reminding me of classic 2D platforming titles the game truly has it all. Thanks to the excellent Raving Rabbids however he stayed on my radar and when Rayman Legends came around I gave it a go.

I don't know what it was whether it be the character, the universe or the floaty hands combat but I never appreciated it and subsequently never really gave later titles much of a chance. Though Rayman has been around few a fair while and has had a number of games under his belt I've never enjoyed one. I grew up with platforming video games but over the years the magic seemed to take a backseat to gimmicks and graphics, Rayman Legends embraces what came before it and makes for an almost nostalgic journey. Once the player saves all 700 teensies, they unlock the golden teensie. Once completed, the nightmares are defeated and the player is awarded with 10,000 lums and 6 new invasion paintings. If four-hundred teensies are saved, the player unlocks the last world of the game, Living Dead Party. After the darkness has been destroyed and the last Dark Teensie is sent to the moon, the credits roll. After defeating 4 of the Dark Teensies and fighting the worst of the nightmares, Rayman and friends go to Olympus Maximus and confront a giant cloud of pure nightmare. Rayman, Globox, the Teensies, and Murfy set out to defeat these new threats. Rayman and friends are awakened by their friend Murfy who tells them about the bad news, and tells them that the 10 princesses of the land (including Barbara) and the Teensies have been captured by the nightmares and the Dark Teensies. During that time, the Bubble Dreamer's nightmares grew in strength and numbers, and so has the Magician (who has survived the explosion in Rayman Origins) who by this time has split into 5 'Dark Teensies'. Rayman, Globox and the Teensies have been sleeping for a century.
