Child of Light

Basically all negative comments are related to Ubisoft and while they are definitively a pain in the ass, the game itself is marvelous in art style, gameplay and soundtrack.

It's a short game. What I think is great about it is that it isn't a long a game. It isn't to open world so it is not super overwhelming. It also isn't a grind. The artwork is lovely too. I also own on switch.

An awesome turned-based combat game. Lovely artwork making the world lively and entertaining. I also found myself enjoying the rhyming scheme with each line.

Solid recommendation, especially on the steam deck.

Child of Light has a fair bit to it. It's engaging. The game is your classic type of RPG with turn-based combat. The visual style is pretty stunning and the music has a lot to say about it as well. The storyline is well-explained. The controls are simple.
A lot of games I've played recently have had at least one little thing that seems unfair, whether it be some stupid attack, or some ungodly difficult key combo. This game doesn't possess that problem. Everything about it is perfectly fair. It's not a hard game either.
Very worth a buy, I'd say.

This would be a pretty average Turn-Based RPG, except:
Combat works in a timeline that you can manipulate manually. Like, really manually. Hold the left mouse button on top of an enemy and they'll get slowed down, so you can delay attacks or time yours to interrupt theirs.
The whole thing is in rhymes: every single line of dialogue, even the lore collectables. Not the items' descriptions or menus, sure. Of course, the rhymming scheme changes a lot, but it's still pretty impressive and unique.
There are two layers to build-making: every character has three branches of skill to spec into, but also three slots to insert craftable modifiers. So you can choose what function a char will have in your party, as well as what bonuses they'll have. You can have three characters equipped with +5% XP bonuses, or mix those into a single +10%. My advice is that you don't go to max levels so soon, it's better to have two characters with +15% damage to magic attacks than only one with +20%.
The rest of the game is good in quality. Artwork, enemy variety and distribution, the pacing, and the puzzles. The soundtrack is beautiful, though. But nothing stands out as much as the previous emphasized points. I've cried to this story 10 years ago, not so much nowadays.

This game is perfect if you like adventure and quests, also magic. The beautiful watercolor landscapes and the music is fasinating, I really recomend this game!!

So I just finished this game
And to me it became another beast I had to tame
Yeah if you can't tell
This story, boy what a tale
It has driven me up the wall
With all the rhyming that was there
and that sure as hell not all
I actually enjoyed this story honestly with the way it sounded like a faerie tale and as a writer, I do enjoy a good fantasy every now and then. For the hours I dumped in this game and much posting I've done, it was time well worth spent and my poetry kinda felt increased by it. So if you like RPGs with a classic faerie tale feel, it's worth the time and as for the price? It's worth a steal!
