    A great game and I enjoyed every hour I spent with it. The last few chapters are where the game truly shines.

    I grant this game an amazing art direction and a quaint, unique script and dialogue. However, I wasn't able to complete it out of boredom. I am a fan of adventure games (and some RPG games) but this one was impossible to complete. The game is good, but I think you need to love RPGs.

    It's an amazing game with beautiful music, unforgettable scenery and great plot. But what really got me hooked is the combat system, really fun!

    This is a beautiful game with good music, but the battles and exploration in a map could be more interesting.

    Child of Light is a lot of fun.

    I love turn-based combat and the one here is simple yet satisfying, with using Igniculus to slow enemies on the turn bar so you can attack them and interrupt their move is a bread and butter tactic. While the story and characters are less than desirable, there's a quirkiness to them especially with the constant rhymes in the dialogue, even if they're    Child of Light is a lot of fun.

    The other driving point for me apart from the gameplay is the unique graphics and enchanting music that suits the theme of the fairytale adventure.

    Child of Light is an enjoyable, once in a decade fantasy experience for everyone.    … Expand

    So this is where ubisoft has invested all her soul, and now she can’t return it in any way! This game is a masterpiece!
    I will definitely return to this world again! Thank you Yubiki, no matter how much I love you!

    Интересно сделали в этой игре разговоры в стихах, это прям кайф, а в плане геймплея она быстро надоедает

    None of it feels focus-tested, or designed to appeal to the broadest possible audience; rather, it always comes off as exactly the expression its creators intended.

    This game should end around the 6th hour – which is roughly the middle of the campaign – when artsy visuals and fairy tale charm concealing the rather shallow content cease to suffice and the originally relaxing pace starts to make you drowsy. [06/2014, p.52]

    Its unique look and charms will stick with you long after you've finished the game, and long after you've forgotten most of the other RPGs that you played before it.
