Critic Reviews for Child of Light
A beautiful game to look at, and wonderfully polished, but a thimble-deep RPG.
With its gorgeous art, exemplary combat, and hand-crafted aesthetic, no RPG fan should miss Child of Light.
Child of Light stands as a wonderfully realised venture into unfamiliar territory for Ubisoft - and a welcome reminder that the industry's major players still have the creative flair to push beyond the lucrative safe ground that they so often favour to create well-crafted, highly-polished gems such as this.
A mostly successful experiment at turning one of the world's biggest studios into an indie developer, with the end result being a charming love letter to the best of Japanese role-playing.
A fantastic RPG with a creative aesthetic and fairy tale narrative, Child of Light is a memorable experience that's as fun to play as it is artistically pleasing.
Even without the depth of a fully featured RPG, this streamlined experience still has fun systems to dig into
Child of Light is a singular adventure that embraces sadness in a beautiful, affecting way.
