    A beautiful art style that unfortunately cant carry the game`s final third which falls totally flat.
    The story also suffers towards the end of the game.

    It's a game that's aesthetically pleasing and a game that is perfect for a handheld console but it's definitely not for everyone.

    Its lackluster combat and story keeps it from getting a higher score. It's also short (which is to be expected when looking at what it costs) and, at least for me, there's no replayability.

    This game starts out great! Then everything goes wrong.

This large cast is introduced and none of them get development. I was pretty intrigued by the two world and was excited for world building...but it never happened.
    Honestly, I was surprised I got to the end because nothing happened.
    And the game just falls into pitfalls other RPGs do, like with that large cast I mentioned earlier; I only ever used a few of them.
    Also, the Switch port is bad as the frame rate is super inconsistent.    … Expand

    The ambiance is amazing but f.ck that the fighting combat with percentage talent point is boring. I find it too simple

    A gorgeous looking game filled with fairy tale narrative and easy gameplay elements... maybe a little too easy.

    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.

    Child of Light Ultimate Edition is the last occasion to play one of the most particular, innovative and interesting Ubisoft title. Arts and Ost will get your heart warm.
