Child of Light is an artist's RPG through and through. Combat is more thoughtful than intimidating, the story is at once archetypal and clever, and the game's visual and auditory flare is truly something to behold.

Child of Light is so staggeringly beautiful that it's not uncommon to find its presentation entirely overpowering the game underneath.

Child of Light offers so much more value than the price tag denotes. The bittersweet story is articulated in an incredibly innovative way, the art-style and animation are striking, all topped with a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack, and elegant combat system. There are lots of 'full-price' games out there that have embarrassingly less to show. I don't think you could want much more, this is unless you're partial to the more typical titles under Ubisoft Montreal's belt.
