A perfect game. Requires a work around for certain cpu's with high thread count. How there was never a sequel is beyond me.

I played this one back in the day on Console. A short game ( around 10-13 hours or so) with a gorgeous artstyle, great OST and Charming story!

I recently bought this game on Steam however have been playing it for many years on Xbox, this is probably my favourite RPG, i think its just perfect and would recommend people to give this game a go.
OST is also goated (Coeur de pirate my beloved) and factoring in the artwork and story this game is just a beautiful masterpiece.

If you are reading this, you are thinking about this game for the art style. 100% worth it for that alone. Very unique look that you wont find in any other game. Great example of 'Games as Art'. Combat is an interesting take on turn based RPG mechanics. Biggest negative is needing the Ubisoft Launcher. Also some report being unable to play this on a modern PC, but I had no issues other than the music skipping every once in a while in 2025. Still, I think all this is worth it just to take in the artwork.

Child of Light is an amazingly good JRPG platformer. Even a decade after release, the visuals, soundtrack, and general atmosphere are amazing. The skill trees and gem upgrades are also straightforward, but welcome, and there are some interesting quirks in combat tied to the floating light companion that you control independently. It's set up as a fairy tale, so there isn't a lot of dialogue outside of some minor rhymes, but the game also doesn't drag on unnecessarily.
Only one company could stumble on to such a wonderfully unique game and then refuse to make any follow ups while Ubisofting their way through Mixed review release after release after release in the same few tired franchises. Yikes.
