At worst, like a record, it will skip as you struggle, and then you quickly get through it and play on. It can be tough, but failure and death - the fall into a bottomless pit or the collision with a spiky barricade - is just a finger-snap away from a restart at a nearby checkpoint. To play well, you glide through the game, which is not to say that Rayman Legends is a breeze.
It’s an unusually good-looking one, whose hand-drawn style, like that of its 2011 predecessor, Rayman Origins, allows it to look like a cartoon brought to interactive life. Like so many Rayman and Super Mario games before it, Rayman Legends is a side-scroller: players control a hero who must run from screen left to screen right. Rated E10+ (Players 10 and older) for cartoon violence and comic mischief

There have even been stories of teenagers discovering the ghost laps of deceased parents and being able to race them as if they were still alive. However the game provides this, it does so to give you the feel of playing against someone at the same time, although they actually played some time (maybe seconds, maybe hours or maybe years) ago. Perhaps it's in Horizon Chase Turbo where you see the ghosted cars of your Nintendo Switch friends who have raced the circuit you are on Or, perhaps you see the failed attempts of people you don't know in a temple in Phantom Abyss. Perhaps it's in Forza where you race against representations of real-world opponents.
In these asynchronous multiplayer games, you usually see the other player as a ghost representation of how they played the level or circuit. Perhaps your opponent is in a different time zone, you are playing years after the person you are competing against, or perhaps you have a job or family commitments that the only game time is when the person you are playing against is in bed.
