Rayman Legends Definitive Edition (Switch)

This is one of the best and most underrated games on the switch. Crisp and highly detailed graphics combined with plentiful music and a great story make this a must have game. The graphics quality in both foreground and background are stunning with no jagged edges like some other nintendo games, and the music really fits the levels well. There is a ton of variety in collecting lums and teensies to unlock a whole bunch of extra content. The levels themselves are huge and very different, ranging from forests to dungeons to underwater. There are many secrets to discover in each level to collect all the trophies. I am almost done with legends and have two more worlds left, but as you play this game, you also slowly unlock paintings from origins. So I suspect I have a ... MoreThis is one of the best and most underrated games on the switch. Crisp and highly detailed graphics combined with plentiful music and a great story make this a must have game.

There is a ton of variety in collecting lums and teensies to unlock a whole bunch of extra content. The levels themselves are huge and very different, ranging from forests to dungeons to underwater. There are many secrets to discover in each level to collect all the trophies. I am almost done with legends and have two more worlds left, but as you play this game, you also slowly unlock paintings from origins. So I suspect I have a whole new game waiting after the main version is done. All around very well done and seems like it was made for the switch. The levels play super smooth, the only slowdown I saw was for a few seconds in the beginning of the loading screens. An update fixes this if it bothers you, but you have less time then to sometimes collect a heart container before the game starts. This is no kid game, many of the levels are very difficult and will have you pulling out your hair and maybe throwing your switch. But eventually are beatable with practice. You will die a lot in this game, and there is a fail counter in the stats screen if you get curious. There are many checkpoints in each level so dying does not mean you restart from the beginning thankfully. Time attack levels are the worst and very challenging. The replay value is high for some worlds, just depends which are your favorites. Overall this is one of the best games out on the switch now. It even makes use of the touchscreen for an entire world. Definitely worth the price for a masterpiece of a game, especially if you were disappointed that there was no 2D mario on the switch.

Without a doubt, one of my most favorite video games ever. If you've got 4 kids who all want to sit down and play a game together? This should be one of the games on your mind. All the characters play the same, so no one has an advantage (Like in Mario games where Luigi jumps higher, no stuff like that) and the musical levels are an absolute joy. I didn't know I needed mariachi-kazoo Eye of the Tiger until I heard mariachi-kazoo Eye of the Tiger.Art is great, music is fantastic, and it's fast.The only downside in my opinion is the loading times on this version, the loading screens can take a few seconds on Switch, whereas the loading screens flat-out don't exist on certain other platforms. But, then again, those versions don't have the extra multiplayer option ... MoreWithout a doubt, one of my most favorite video games ever.

I was not planning on getting this game at release since it is essentially a four year old game that can be found cheaper on every other console (and PC). However, I decided to get it because I had some Best Buy Reward Points that were expiring this week. That along with the Gamer's club discount made this an inexpensive purchase for me.I played a couple levels tonight and have to say, on top of it being fun, its a very good looking game. If you are into platformers then you should like this game. Best part (for me) is that I can play it in handheld mode without difficulty or issues. I only mention this because I'm unable to play Splatoon 2 in handheld mode due to the controls and Lego City Undercover due to getting motion sickness.I've read (on other sites) ... MoreI was not planning on getting this game at release since it is essentially a four year old game that can be found cheaper on every other console (and PC).

The loading screens allows you to move your character through a silhouetted "level". They aren't very long (maybe 10 seconds) so IMO, not worth complaining about.
