    Not as good as some of the other Wadjet Eye games, but still worth the $15 asking price, especially that there is a real draught in the point-n-click adventures niche. Though the game may have been a little too easy and the story overall was lacking, the premises and setting were interesting enough to keep me entertained for 8 hours of gameplay. Pretty recommendable.

    Five Word Review: Still fan of Wadget Eye.
    Favorite Thing: It's all about the story with this type of game and I rather like the world that has been created.
    Least Favorite Thing: Graphics. It has its stylistic appeal but I'm still not sold on the look.

    Playtime: ~ 5h
    Enjoyment: 7/10
    Recommendation: Yeah, it's a solid adventure game.

    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]
