I’m amazed at the poor reviews here, and the lack of understanding of the game, though it takes time to really grasp, and these reviews seem to be a bit premature, so I guess that explains it. It is a beautiful looking game with options to make friends or not. As well as the purchase of items to change appearance there are numerous spirits which provide stances and movements to help communication. Maybe the awkward movements described by one reviewer are attempts to communicate playfully. Greyed out figures are just players you haven’t met yet. You do have to make friends to a certain level in order to actually chat to another player, and a lot of chat outside of the game goes on in Discord, as well as lots of YouTube guidance from regular players. Don’t give up, this a fabulous game once you get your head around it, with some truly magical, scary, exciting touches and a challenging final level that goes beyond anything I’ve seen before. I’ve being playing games since Zelda Ocarina of Time so lots of experience to go on… Expand

At the same time, the storyline in the gameplay makes a lot of plus points. Sure, you can play the game alone. But the interesting interaction in this game is simply more intense and exciting. In addition, there are beautiful graphics and an outstanding soundtrack. If you would like to experience a completely different game on the Nintendo Switch, you should definitely download the free title "Sky: Children of the Light".… Expand

Promising artistic direction, nice "Breath of the Wild" look, wide wild environments.. But the game is so empty, repetitive gameplay (you do the exact same one thing from the beginning to the end), the presence of other players is boring most of the time, inexistant stakes. Briefly said : globally disappointing.… Expand

   Sky: Children of the light feels like a weird attempt to mix the beautiful graphics of journey, the music style of the Ori games, the feelingSky: Children of the light feels like a weird attempt to mix the beautiful graphics of journey, the music style of the Ori games, the feeling of exploration in Breath of The Wild and the charm of the Tearaway games, and nothing clicks. All you do in the game is: Walk a bit. Light candles. Walk some more. Find spirits. Sit down.
   
   The game advertises itself as a "social experience", but there is no clear way to communicate or interact with other people.
   Players are represented as these Gray creatures that walk and jump around and their movement is jerkier than beef jerky. And i'd rather pay for beef jerky than play this game again.
   There was this one "interaction" i had with someone, where they were running into me, begging i light their candle. (Or this is what i assume)
   There should be a better way to communicate with people, even if there is a language barrier.
   The friend system makes no sense because why would you want to go up to someone, ask to be their friend and then not do anything.
   
   In conclusion:
   Sky: Children of The Light is a mis-mash of good ideas that don't work, lacks communication and has no clear goals.
   The fact that you have un-skippable cutscenes is a sin and does not make sense.
   3/10, wouldn't recommend to people who hate flat art-styles, barebones gameplay and mechanics, lack of communication features and lore that makes no sense.… Expand

   Sky: Children of the light is a mixed experience, and it is not as good or not as bad as people say
   
   The good: - Outstanding graphics. -Sky: Children of the light is a mixed experience, and it is not as good or not as bad as people say
   
   The good:
   
   - Outstanding graphics.
   - Good score
   - Good designs and textures
   - Awesome world building
   
   The bad:
   
   - No characters that actually have a name and no story
   - Ridiculously easy
   - Forced difficulty spike, at the Eye of Eden, compensating that the rest of the game has zero dificulty, everything kills you.
   - Bland levels and gameplay: As 90% of the game consists on turning candles on and levels can be easily walked through.
   
   Over all, a 5/10. A glorified walking simulator with awesome graphics and soundtrack. It is a game that exists. I don't have any strong feelings either way, a rather bare bones rpg and quite a delight for the eyes and ears. It is just boring and something that promised much more.… Expand
