Rayman Legends is the sequel to Rayman Origins, and is about Rayman and his friends defeating a group of evil wizards. Not much in the story department there, although that can be attributed to the lack of dialogue from the characters.
But despite that, Rayman Legends is a very solid game. the graphics are really great, with each part of this wacky world standing out in a unique way. But even with story and graphics aside, the game provides an extensive amount of content, meaning a 100% completion will take a while, and the gameplay is incredibly smooth.
The various levels, especially the rhythm levels, are very well designed, and are created in such a way that you naturally get into the flow of things and start making moves almost on instinct. Combine this with the aforementioned smooth gameplay, and you get a very enjoyable experience.
If you don't understand what I mean when I say "flow", imagine the Flow Combat System from the Batman Arkham series, or in Mario, where you constantly land jump after jump without getting hit. A very enjoyable feeling to have when you're playing a platformer.
The other half of the gameplay involves controlling a little magic... thing named Murphy to control the environment as a character is on autopilot. These segments are also alot of fun, and can lead to the same amount of enjoyable flow that you get from platforming.
To summarize, Rayman Legends is a fun, flowing platformer. It has a ton of unlockable stuff, and great enough control that you won't find it boring trying to be a completionist. If you love a good platforming game, its definitely worth your time.
