They actually know very well how and when to pick just the right guys and gals for a job." ... Read full review

"Child of Light is not your ordinary game, although many aspects of it feel familiar. It moves you, with its graphic splendor that clearly took a lot of hard work. Child of Light is pretty straight forward, nothing is complicated or difficult to understand. But this does not mean that you forget about this game with a blink of an eye. Before my inner eye I can still see Aurora's red hair dance in the wind and my ears still hear the music that make the surroundings feel even more vivid. " ... Read full review

Child of Light was made by Ubisoft.

When I myself found out, I chucked, then coughed.
The same company that ruined many series, it seemed,
Child of Light made their status redeemed.

Many people claim this game is only the length of 10 hours,
who the hell do they think they are? A bunch of Jack Bauers?
Including all the sidequests, collectibles, and learning right and wrong,
this game can clock in at over 20 hours long!

And many people thought the rhyming in the story was forced.
Well if that's the case, then go back to COD, where the rhyming is scorched.
I thought it added depth, character and personality like a real fairy tale,
unlike those 90's Disney movies. What an epic fail.

The exploration, puzzles, and item discovery in this game just feel right.
The open world is much similar to that of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
The crafting and upgrades are very helpful for those who are stuck,
but anything you'll find will help you through with a little bit of luck.

The battle system is one-of-a-kind where fun does not lack,
like attacking enemies while holding their moves back.
It is very immersive and engaging,
like taking a sh*t while masturbating!

The watercolor art style and atmosphere of the game is so pretty,
it saddens me to look at any other current video game and take pity.
This is probably the most beautiful game I've ever played,
like a monument or landmark of the highest grade.

It has one of the best soundtracks of all time,
and I don't just mean bells, whistles, and a wind chime.
It's also very epic and helps you face your biggest fears,
it's good to listen to battle music that doesn't hurt my ears.

For those who are appealed by this game's 90's RPG feel,
will want to go back because it's truly original and real.
Expect Child of Light to become my 2014 Game of the Year,
unlike all those mindless dudebro games, that make me want a beer.

I really enjoyed this game. Unlike many RPGs that have come out in recent years this one is challenging.... comparable to final fantasy 1I really enjoyed this game. Unlike many RPGs that have come out in recent years this one is challenging.... comparable to final fantasy 1 challenging. Everything was hand drawn which was nice as you travel through the 2.5 D world. The music is wonderful and the story is fairly simple as it's told. Granted, it is a little slow to get told due to the challenges you have to do (finding particular things) which does take a good while but it's still fun and the goals as a whole are still clear as you travel, level up, and get more team members to work with.

The complaints I have are few and minor. First off, you can only have 2 party members out in a fight (which makes things fairly difficult). Secondly, the main character (Aurora) in battle is pretty much useless and thirdly, there's this "interrupting" **** that can happen as you cast your attack and it makes you wait to cast again. That's it really.... Enjoy~… Expand

L’ibrido Platform / GdR funziona a dovere e non fa cadute di stile per le 12 ore che serviranno a completare la storia. Si parla di tempi lontani pensando alle madri che leggevano ai propri figli i libri di fiabe ma è stato meraviglioso rivivere un’esperienza che lo ha ricordato e sono rimasto sorpreso dal lavoro fatto da Ubisoft nel ricreare tali emozioni in un videogioco. Grazie a Child of Light, il mondo dei videogiochi può vantare di essersi avvicinato allo stato dell’arte.… Expand
