It’s a gleefully old school approach, and a reminder of when games were more than a joyless trudge through a grey and brown war zone. Just like Origins, Rayman Legends keeps its all-important gameplay intact: a finely honed classical approach that unashamedly encompasses all the facets of the traditional platformer, a throwback to a time when that wasn’t a dirty word. There’s a largely non-linear structure in place, enabling you to visit the worlds at your leisure, a broad church that encompasses all points from the Mexican Day of the Dead festival to "20,000 Lums Under The Sea" - Lums, of course, being the luminous collectibles that make up the game’s currency.

We've been battling our way through Rayman Legends to find out. To the untrained (or even trained) eye, Rayman Legends is the same game. Too French? Whatever the criticisms aimed at the Rayman series over the years, they were swatted aside by 2011’s excellent Rayman Origins, a defiantly traditional 2D platform game that saw the limbless character celebrate his 16th birthday by blossoming from an awkward Gallic Aldi-Mario into a genuine gaming icon.
