Child of Light

I wished I had a PC install. What great tragedy we must endure. On the hasty road to be the saviour. The journey was bountiful. Too bad the end is pitiful. For the price of a lunch and dessert. You can own this great effort. I wholeheartedly recommend. So spend! Don’t follow the trend. Trust me, I’m your friend.

Child of Light is a beautifully rendered, fun, and fairly engrossing RPG that every fan of the genre should try. It does enough different to stand out from the pack, and I’m talking about more than its artistic styling. It won’t drain forty plus hours of your free time, but for $15? Yeah, this one’s worth the three Starbucks coffees it’ll cost you and won’t leave a bad taste in your mouth in the process.

Playing Child of Light is such a delightful and immersive experience that it's sad to see it end. Minor quibbles aside, this is one of those titles that anybody who loves games for their artistry won't want to pass up. Yes, the gameplay is a nice mix of accessibility and depth (RPG veterans will want to play on hard mode), but more importantly, Child of Light touches that part of the human experience that echoes through time in our greatest legends and stories.
