Remakes are funny. I'm firmly in the camp that most games do not need remakes, and you're missing out on some all-time experiences because of an aversion to older titles – but I can still appreciate them. However, there are some games that really don't need a remake, and Rayman Legends would definitely be near the top of that list. The game is on basically everything and looks phenomenal to this day thanks to its gorgeous art direction.
And yet, of all the Rayman games, Ubisoft has opted to bring it back as Rayman Legends Retold for the series' big comeback. The 2013 platforming classic is being given a 2.5D makeover in the Snowdrop engine and, crucially, has new content thrown in for good measure. And while I'm sure the reaction to the first trailer will very much be one of bewilderment, Rayman Legends Retold is still a banger; it just looks a little weird.
