    Child of Light is a well-crafted action RPG that boasts some marvelous visuals and an outstanding soundtrack and matches them with an interesting, albeit not very varied combat system. The game may be over four years old by now but it certainly remains an RPG that can be easily recommended, even if its plot is not as involving as it should.

A great story that is quite a simple hero's journey, one of the most beautiful art styles I have ever seen in a game, a stunning soundtrack, and an engaging combat system keeps me coming back to Child of Light. It's about a 10-15 hour game and easily 20-25 if you decide to play New Game+. This is a great deal for the price!… Full Review »
