Yeah, I'm definitely Origins over Legends.
Legends takes the crown for music and artsyle and world design, but Origins is just more fun to play and had way more gameplay variety.

Why didn't Legends keep the mosquito levels?
And I thought the treasure chasing levels were better than their Legends equivalent.
Well, I would hope that if they hadn't done any Murphy stuff, they would have filled in that content with more regular levels and maybe even some kind of Mosquito-level equivalent.
It's frustrating because I'd much rather LOOK at Legends, but I know Origins is more fun to play, but Origins artstyle is so flat to me now. Wish all of Origins got the visual upgrade. Curious if they have a new artstyle this time.

i think all of legends' issues come from it being designed for wii u initially. if it was made for conventional controls from the beginning i imagine it would have been much closer to origins in level design.
Yup, absolutely. It's a shame really. I still think it's a fantastic game, but overall Origins is the tighter platformer experience because it doesn't have any one detrimental element.

what's worse is that legends just feels like an inferior game on other platforms, but that's where most people played it. the "press A to do the thing touch screen was supposed to do" is just bad design imo.
i guess even with all of that, there must be something great about it since so many people consider it one of the best platformers ever.
Anyone remember the "all my friends are dead" meme with Mario and all the 90s platformer characters? Someone needs to remake that but it's "all my friends came to life and it's fucking lit".
Legends to me just feels unfocused. Origins is so tightly designed with its constant introduction of new powers ending in a roundtrip to the previous worlds with new maps to traverse with your maxed out characters, and there's some pretty strong environmental storytelling going on too. Legends takes the SM64 route and lets you beat the game with like half the levels unfinished.
And nothing in Legends matches up to the flying Clock Punk fortress world.

That's a good point. I first played it on Vita, where it has the same kind of user experience as on Wii U, and I adored the game. Wasn't sure why I seemed to like it more than most. I eventually played it on PS4 and Switch, and my opinion on the game is definitely worse nowadays. While I still think Murphy levels were a mistake, it was certainly meant to be played on Wii U (and Vita) and it was a better game on those two systems.

what's funny is that they could have brought the same gameplay to switch in handled mode, but instead they came up with this weird new mode where rayman is controlled by the game and you're only in control of the touch screen.
