Sky: Children of the Light 9+

Second time through Sky ♥️

Beautiful experience. Its a harmonious world filled with different realms to explore, new spirits to meet, relive and move on from where they have been for so long. You have the ability to play instruments, collect cosmetics and customise your avatar, different quests and stories to help spirits with and different places amongst the realms to unlock. Sky’s nature gives you the same calming feeling an aquatic animal does when gracefully gliding through the sea. The community is one of the most non toxic, supportive communities I've come across including having to give your consent to make friends or meet new people, as any other community you have you toxicity but very rarely in this one. TGC (thatgamecompany) for a free game you have clearly out done yourself. TGC continues to work on bugs, imagine new events and quests for us and continuously pays attention. Thank you for creating such a beautiful place and community to be apart of! ♥️

I’ve been waiting for this game my whole life.

Not kidding. This is off the charts special. For anyone who likes the heart of games like Zelda, or the epicness of final fantasy - mix them together, weed out the fighting, throw some serious imagination and magic in the mix and you have the perfect blend of a game that has epic adventure, intuitive game play, the most stunning visuals, enough mystery to keep your mind stimulated and the biggest overdue dose of heart like no other game I’ve played. There is enough anonymity for those who prefer it yet it seems to bring out the best in people and helps them connect through simple empathy. Well overdue in the times we live and play in. So glad I came across it.

Too busy

I’ve played this since the first alpha and honestly... I think that’s when it was a it’s best. Yes the graphics and sound effects are far more polished now, but there’s just too much going on and it seems like they lost sight of what this game was supposed to be, just tried it again recently and I had to put it down after about 20 mins, I played the beta at least 20 times and loved it. Very disappointed.

Edit for clarification:

its hard to exactly put into words but I’ll do my best, when playing the game during the alpha it was a fairly smooth experience (albeit buggy), with very little in the way of video sequences. But with the latest iteration I seemed to be interrupted from playing every couple of minutes by something going on, many of the puzzles and challenges were completed by other players before I even got a chance to find out what the puzzle was. There were pop ups for something happening every 30 seconds or so - unlocks or new candles etc. I think the most frustrating thing was how often gameplay was interrupted by a video sequence and stopped me from playing and exploring, and sometimes unexpectedly.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for sharing your honest feedback. Could you clarify what it is that has changed, or that we have lost sight of?
