Legends is a wonderful throwback to the games I grew up on and made me realize what I’ve been missing all these years of being busy with the action-adventure genre I am normally partial to. Legends had me grinning the whole time, even as I struggled or died time after time in some very tricky spots (of which there are many). As a mature gamer that doesn’t own a Wii or Wii U, I love that I can now get together with friends for a night of gaming that doesn’t involve zombies or headshots. I’m sure the Nintendo fanboys will be chagrined that they no longer hold the monopoly on great platformers, but in an era where games like this are very few and far between it’s great to put this title on my shelf alongside the abundance of intense and violent titles that have dominated the Xbox 360 and PS3. Legends was originally supposed to be an exclusive Wii U title, but the release date kept getting pushed back until it was eventually announced it that it was a multi-platform title. It was a definite surprise to find such a finely crafted side-scroller on a non-Nintendo console. After the marathon of emotionally hard hitting games this past year it was completely refreshing to take a step in the other direction with a fun, whacky platformer and I had an absolute blast playing Rayman Legends.
