One of the most beatifull games ever made. In a time where everything is based on showing more effects, polygons, ultra detailed textures, where video cards are forced to the maximum while their fans suffer trying to cool them, Child of Light is a balm of elegant delicacy.

One of the most beatifull games ever made. In a time where everything is based on showing more effects, polygons, ultra detailed textures, where video cards are forced to the maximum while their fans suffer trying to cool them, Child of Light is a balm of elegant delicacy. A refreshment between so many explosions, shots, frenetic cameras and deafening sounds. It is a regression to simplicity, that we found in some old Japanese role-playing games, it is also a regression to the simplicity of childhood, the one that we found when our mother told us that story with dukes, queens, sorcerers, witches and fairy godmothers, the one that to imagine ourselves in armor with a sword in hand we did not need a screen, a joystick or a console.

From start to finish this is one of the most artistic and beautiful experiences out there. Ubisoft alleviates some of the evil corporate image they have become so known for in past years while releasing a product that is something completely apart from the rest of the crowd. This game will tug at your heart strings and keep you mesmerized with an amazing soundtrack and an art direction completely of its own.

The poetic rhyming style of speech was a wise choice and always felt as if it completely belonged in the setting of the game. I appreciate that I am able to play it in front of my child, but it is not by any means a game that feels too childish to enjoy. With an almost JRPG style combat system, that allows you swap between characters always keeping two on the battlefield against up to three enemies, I never found myself tiring of the fights that lead you along in your journey.....

Picked this up. Looks nice, plays a little too easy. The fights are boring (about 2 hours in) but I still like it.
