    This is a midlevel Wadget Eye title from the guys that made A Golden Wake. Its better than A Gold Wake but not as good as other stuff they've made. Too bad villain never said "Let them eat cake" or "sacre blue," but I guess you never go full ancien regime.

    I expect more from Wadjet Eye, because they understand what made classic point’n’clicks great and their every game was a diamond that would rival Beneath a Steel Sky and Broken Sword in the 90s. In comparison Shardlight is... well... just a good game, a diamond in the rough. [05/2016, p.54]

    The new adventure of Wadjet Eye Games is a small masterpiece. Easy to complete, fit ascinates the player thanks to a deep plot and a protagonist admirably characterized.

    A traditional point & click adventure without the cliches and problems of the genre. The ending feels rushed and the game is overall slightly too easy, but otherwise Shardlight is a treat. [May 2016]
