The game crashes on set-up, but the fix was relatively easy. Follow the instructions here. Personally I did not click on 'auto-generate'.
As for the actual game, it was beautiful! A well-written game. The characters are all eccentric and unique (my favorite is the Robert, the rat financier). I can't praise this game enough. And the soundtrack.... beautiful!!! It's just, a gorgeous game. I recommend it to all!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

A poetic fantasy RPG and one of my favorite games of all time. Aurora's character development is some of the best I've seen and her companions are all really memorable.
If there's any game you should play before you die, this should be one of them.
