Do not punish good games for the practices of their current publisher.
This game was created in 2014, when Assassins Creed Unity came out. We can all agree that's before UBISOFT became the garbage fire they are today.
The development team who worked on this game did a fantastic job. This is one of the last bastions of goo turn based RPGS, before the rise of games like octopath traveler and Ex33.
If anything, buy this game so UBISOFT knows that anything prior to their greedy money grab games will always perform better than their current nonsense.

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!

This game made my entire childhood, and now as an adult I get to play it myself, and it is the greatest experience I've ever had. Please, check the game out, it's worth the time and money spent.

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.

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.

Cute little platformer/RPG. Only real issue here is, Ubisoft being Ubisoft. Some of you (like myself) may encounter crashing when starting or loading a game. I found this fix for this is, to block access to the internet for Child of Light. I did this through my firewall settings. No need to block Ubisoft connect or put it offline mode, just block internet access to Child of Light and you are set. If this doesn't work for you, what can I say, it's how I fixed it.
Once you get it working, sit back, enjoy the chill vibes, and faerie tale story it tells.

I remember playing this game for hours and hours as a kid on my 360 and loving it, and I'm so glad it still holds up. The game is beautifully made and has great characterization, 10/10
