	''Retold'' received mixed to positive reactions upon being revealed, with criticism towards the decision to remake ''Legends'' after the franchise's near decade-long hiatus rather than making a brand new game or remaking an older game like ''[[Rayman 2]]'' or ''[[Rayman 3]]''. Some of the character redesigns were met with positivity, such as [[Barbara]]'s design in her first appearance in a 3D-style ''[[Rayman (series)\|Rayman]]'' game ~~(with praise to the developers for apparently not listening to alleged puritan bigots<ref>https://x.com/AwakeCrow0/status/2063906429426094436</ref>)~~, while others have received criticism, most notably Rayman's separate eyes and [[Betilla]]'s more realistic, human-like design.

	In contrast to the criticism, the visual quality, voice acting, cutscenes, new content and gameplay have received praise, with many expressing gratitude for [[Rayman]] still being relevant at [[Ubisoft]].
