    I'd give this a 4 but you all know how metacritic works graphics are in simplicity : cheap gameplay is steryotypical and nothing all that knew story is non existent honestly and the audio is good but that won't make a game for me at least I did not like this one bit

    Story: Well, if Youre 10 years old the story will be ok for You because its aimed for the kids. I didnt like it but im much older so lets give it 5/10 because I wasnt the targed i guess.
    Graphic: Beautifull, but again the art didnt hit the spot for me. 5/10. Sound: Fits this game perfectly but nothing    Game on same engine that rayman! Wow I am hyped! Lets see what we got here!

    Graphic: Beautifull, but again the art didnt hit the spot for me. 5/10.
    Sound: Fits this game perfectly but nothing spectacular 8/10.
    Gameplay: A bit boring and repetitive. If the story was better then maybe I would enjoy it more.
    You will finish it in about 10 hours, and then You can wander the map more but I cant see any reason to do that.
    Damn, Im bored as hell to just simply write a review for this game - take this as a warning.    … Expand

    It took an unusual amount of effort for me to finally play Child of Light, but the game lingers fondly in my memory now that it finally happened. This is a unique and affecting title that is worth seeking out by any who haven’t tried it before. Just be prepared for Ubisoft not to make playing the game an easy task.

    This 'Western-JRPG' has been faithfully ported. Lack of cross-save/buy is annoying. [September 2014, p73]

    Even on the PsVita, this old-school RPG shines: bright colours, fascinating atmospheres, and a solid gameplay. A perfect conversion for one of the most intriguing digital titles of this year.
