God I love child of light so much. I highly recommend it to anyone that is interested. It’s a nice chill game that suits casual and more focused players. I played it on the side to other more attention demanding games and full on loved it. The music is incredible the fighting is something I’ve never seen before and the story is surprisingly captivating!
This is was great review, I played child of light back in the vita days I thought It was cool, but it never quite grabbed me. Glad to see it make the switch library though.
Just barely got around to finishing this game; this comment probably won’t be seen by anyone but I’ve been frantically looking through videos about this game because no one seems to be talking about the weirder parts of the story. The confessions take this fairly simple plot and introduces stuff like possible time travel and correlations to real life events. Sadly the chances of this game getting a sequel are at an absolute 0 so none of these questions are gonna get answers
I remember playing thos game all the time on my dads old xbox. I thought this game was the coolest and played it more than twenty times. I used to beat the game multiple times in a day because I thought it was the coolest game and absolutely loved the art and story.
Its on sale again. I might wanna get this over a Smash DLC. But I just don't know whether or not I should get this game with all DLC or A Smash Fighter. I originally have the game for Xbox but I still can't get past the Dark Castle Boss.
WARNING: for those who are casual gamers or play mostly stardew and acnh DONT BUY THISSSS! i was lured by the cute art but its super frustrating because theres like battle/fight scenes every five seconds and it can get tedious, you also cant avoid certain battles....i wish this was talked about more in reviews as it would have definitly changed my decision to purchase it. its not worth it just cause it was on sale... :(
A little late, I know. Next time check the genre of the game you're interested in. I found the game in the eShop and right now I'm researching the gameplay via reviews and let's plays. I think videos from different people are quite useful to estimate if you will like the game. Trailers can be very misleading. I would also recommend to find a bunch of UA-camrs you agree with in general so you can rely a bit more on their opinion. Also don't be afraid of stepping out of your usual game choice, there are so many great games! I used to only play Mario, because of the simplicity of the games, but learned to love other genres, art styles and gameplay variations as well :)
@@therealsamtheman Which is odd because most of the Vita players I know prefer turn-based :( It's not the games fault, they're often very good games, just I don't have the patience or time, and I'm God aweful at strategy!
@@redcrimson1028 , Physical version of Child of Light Ultimate Edition is an exclusive from Best Buy and it comes out at the end of February. It comes bundled with Valiant Hearts The Great War for $40.
I have this on PS3 but I can’t remember if it’s the deluxe version.. It’s really nice and it’s battle system is oft compared to Grandias.. This game is further evidence the whole regional separation terminology they came up with as far as RPG description is at best outdated..
Great review. I really wanted to like this game, but the poetry and dialogue were too off-putting. It's just really bad poetry. It doesn't really fit the meter and it's way too trite. Even in one of the clips you showed: "Will someone please explain, how water falls with no rain" It's just so cheesy. I guess it really is like a JRPG after all. :P
I enjoyed the silliness of the rhymes and the humour in the dialogue made me smile. Maybe the way to enjoy it is not to take the dialogue too seriously.
What is the game/ story. The story is a little flat, you cannot meld with the characters, al lthe characters have a unique appearance but little personality, other than the little sprite has some personality that is comparatively different. The poetry at teh start was alittle weak, at tiems it seemed a few palces had forced rhymes. It seems to me the game speaks of the era of the dogmatic short age, were still currently in. WOmen given power to freely get jobs and anything as the nation is udnermiendand estroyed. yadda yadda, still going on, but nature is a thing of its own natureand owmen in teh unsound mind, think they are simply divine, and so the sotry as a moral note loses a narrative insght as its falls short for its dramatic plight. Some unique fighting, there combat is awlays two and never three or a utilization ofa party, and so its not too unique. Why nto have everyone fight, lol. my scale is: Creativity: 4/10 Poetry: 6/10 Game design:6/10 Art and choice and music: 9/10 Mechanics: 7/10 (could of been better or fine tuned for cross controls) Pace: has not tempo in the story, there is only one place in teh storyline in whihc has haste to it, but at this point no one in your party stated one had ot hurry, and so any hurrying or conversation is lost hwen there is not an imperetnet thign made. Ie if acharacter says hurry, and you can jsut go bak thorugh the level... it really defeats the, hurry up now. A few palces like this was in ff7, but typically hurry ment hurry, or had to be done before beign free again. Pace: 5. Feelsslow and awkward at times, even though the game is a bit short. Is it my kind of game...it's okay... but in reality... All the jazz around women are so important and the weird implicaitons of interpretations that one culd take do to tis time frame, I find it cliché that women narratives always speak uon women and their virtues without earning them, unlike you know battle alita, or other hero movies, they are jsut people doing something and have limitations. However this indicates also a story much like Narnia, in which the princess of light is dead, and in the state of dead,adn in her memory Lemuria is kept alive in battle those inner demons her soul has rest. MEh, Who knows. Overall 6.1/10 it failed to meet a mark. The overall fun is also something I measure a game. Slapstick games or certain kidns like Mario, has replay value to it. It wasn't the most enjoyable or fun game to play.
dude, the frame rate is terrible right at the beginning of the game, are you kidding? it's such a big issue. I can't take this review seriously, you're lying to your viewers....
Let's be honest, everyone has their own preferences kid. Some people prefer turn-based games like Child of Light instead of your shoot-em-up games like Fortnite.. They each have their own ups and downs, but come on... Why do you have to hate on Pokemon??

Is it tough figure out? Skill tree and this " hit them before cast time?" Or is it explained fairly well?
It's $4.99 on switch right now.
This is probably outdated but it can't hurt to check.
Still is !
Still is until March 23rd
@moomoomoomoo .moomoomoo as in free for switch??
@moomoomoomoo .moomoomoo oh! i checked it in the eshop a few moments, its not free 😁. damn the switch should be free too
Its 75% off in eshop right now. Is it worth it for the Switch Lite?
This is was great review, I played child of light back in the vita days I thought It was cool, but it never quite grabbed me. Glad to see it make the switch library though.
Whether the game is GTA or Call of Duty, or neither, i,d play anything! I'd play this game!

Regarding 'Western RPGs', I feel like Secret of Evermore was a fantastic game. It was panned by critics and overlooked at the time (early/mid 90s).

i hope he proofed the video, but thought that was hilarious and left it in
Saw this review, got the game, just beat it. It was beautiful. Thank you 🙏
I just finished the game and I rate it 9/10. It is absolutely beautiful, pretty short (12-15 hrs.), fun, and an absolute steal at $5 - buy it!
K thanks
I just bought this game because it's on sale but don't know anything about it....so far I read that it's really good.
Picked it up for $5 this week.
Battle meter is from Grandia btw. Like, it's literally Grandia in that respect.
Game is beatiful, and I really like the combat. The platforming, not so much, never liked platformers in general. All in all, it’s a great experience.
I liked how you put in the battery life man. Smart. I wish every reviewer did that. Great video overall. Thanks.
Rhymes. Like so, "Don't stand in my way. Or I'll turn you into clay."
I remember playing thos game all the time on my dads old xbox. I thought this game was the coolest and played it more than twenty times. I used to beat the game multiple times in a day because I thought it was the coolest game and absolutely loved the art and story.
So Metroidvania + Grandia's combat system. Wow, I think I need to check this out!
Good review, balanced commentary and paced well. *subscribed
I love the way turns work in combat, it reminds me of Grandia
I had this on the wii u. It's on sale on the Switch and thinking of getting it.
In certain areas there's framerate issues, hope they fix it with an update since seems to be an optimization problem.
If you didn't it's 5 bucks right now
I'm still waiting / hoping for Child of Light 2
Me too!!!! I'm like 75% of the game and decided not to finish it more than 3 yrs ago in protest for not having part 2.
Nice review. Love this game as well. The artwork is amazing.
This game is on sale on the EU eshop for £4.80
Its $4.99 now till 3/23/2020!!
Its on sale again. I might wanna get this over a Smash DLC. But I just don't know whether or not I should get this game with all DLC or A Smash Fighter. I originally have the game for Xbox but I still can't get past the Dark Castle Boss.
@@BlackHatOnline Funny thing is, I bought it in March at $4.99 and haven't even started(played) it yet! ;o

Man I bet you're a champion in real life too.
"Guys don't eat these chicken wings, they have real bones and you'll have to eat around them!"
Just got done playing "a short hike". Perfect mix of acnh and botw. Buy it now!
For me personally, the turn based combat spoiled it for me. I'm just not a fan, I much prefer real time combat. But it does look good.
LOL I'm the other way and like turn based. Luckily for you, real time combat is taking over
@@therealsamtheman Which is odd because most of the Vita players I know prefer turn-based :( It's not the games fault, they're often very good games, just I don't have the patience or time, and I'm God aweful at strategy!
my top 3 vita games
Gameplay is like Grandia, which I really liked.
Waiting for an update that fix it the framerate issues, already have this game on ps3, it's a masterpiece.
still laggy as fuck. it's just a terrible port, I fucking hate Ubisoft.
Does this work on switch lite?
I think this game is 5 bucks at the moment. So I figured I’d lurk around UA-cam for some gameplay
i have it on the wii u I Wanna see how they change itt
Does the switch version ass anything new
Didn't even mention Grandias battle system?
I like this game and i finished it.i want ubisoft make the sequel in 3d. Its much better
6 euros now. Should I? Nah.
My favourite part is her hair
Child of Light is a beautifully crafted videogame, its worth playing!
If it gets a physical copy, would you say that 30 USD is fair(assuming it would be 30)?
Good point l, mabye I'd say yes. This is definately a game that deserves a physical copy and with a booklet. Do they have a physical version?
@@redcrimson1028 , Physical version of Child of Light Ultimate Edition is an exclusive from Best Buy and it comes out at the end of February. It comes bundled with Valiant Hearts The Great War for $40.
Thanks for the bread up bro. I'm kind of over this game though but who knows, I still may get it
On sale again!
It's like Tails of Iron if Tails of Iron didn't suck.
I have this on PS3 but I can’t remember if it’s the deluxe version.. It’s really nice and it’s battle system is oft compared to Grandias..
This game is further evidence the whole regional separation terminology they came up with as far as RPG description is at best outdated..
Didn't expect to enjoy this game.
75% off again now
U didnt even tell us if the game is in 1080p@60?
He didn't even tell us about the framerate issues.
Down to £4 on eShop!!
worth?
1:52 just because something is "unique" doesn't mean it is good or useful! it can also be uniquely shitty.
This said it was 1-2 players but we CANNOT get the second player. I really don’t understand.
meant is, that one can control Aurora while the other person plays the firefly.
Great review. I really wanted to like this game, but the poetry and dialogue were too off-putting. It's just really bad poetry. It doesn't really fit the meter and it's way too trite.
Even in one of the clips you showed: "Will someone please explain, how water falls with no rain"
It's just so cheesy. I guess it really is like a JRPG after all. :P
I play the game in spanish; and I found the poetry beautiful and never cheesy. It's interesting how something can be lost in translation.
I enjoyed the silliness of the rhymes and the humour in the dialogue made me smile. Maybe the way to enjoy it is not to take the dialogue too seriously.
Wow
Greatttt game!!!
He keeps saying “Little” because the game is so short, if this game were at least 40hrs I would’ve picked it up
Bruh just because it's short, isnt a reason you dont play it
TheCrazyNintendoMan ! For me it is. RPG’s are meant for long hours of play and leveling up
I DON’T LIKE TURN BASED GAMES 🤦🏿♂️
What is the game/ story.
The story is a little flat, you cannot meld with the characters, al lthe characters have a unique appearance but little personality, other than the little sprite has some personality that is comparatively different. The poetry at teh start was alittle weak, at tiems it seemed a few palces had forced rhymes.
It seems to me the game speaks of the era of the dogmatic short age, were still currently in. WOmen given power to freely get jobs and anything as the nation is udnermiendand estroyed. yadda yadda, still going on, but nature is a thing of its own natureand owmen in teh unsound mind, think they are simply divine, and so the sotry as a moral note loses a narrative insght as its falls short for its dramatic plight. Some unique fighting, there combat is awlays two and never three or a utilization ofa party, and so its not too unique. Why nto have everyone fight, lol.
my scale is:
Creativity: 4/10
Poetry: 6/10
Game design:6/10
Art and choice and music: 9/10
Mechanics: 7/10 (could of been better or fine tuned for cross controls)
Pace: has not tempo in the story, there is only one place in teh storyline in whihc has haste to it, but at this point no one in your party stated one had ot hurry, and so any hurrying or conversation is lost hwen there is not an imperetnet thign made. Ie if acharacter says hurry, and you can jsut go bak thorugh the level... it really defeats the, hurry up now. A few palces like this was in ff7, but typically hurry ment hurry, or had to be done before beign free again.
Pace: 5. Feelsslow and awkward at times, even though the game is a bit short.
Is it my kind of game...it's okay... but in reality...
All the jazz around women are so important and the weird implicaitons of interpretations that one culd take do to tis time frame, I find it cliché that women narratives always speak uon women and their virtues without earning them, unlike you know battle alita, or other hero movies, they are jsut people doing something and have limitations.
However this indicates also a story much like Narnia, in which the princess of light is dead, and in the state of dead,adn in her memory Lemuria is kept alive in battle those inner demons her soul has rest. MEh, Who knows.
Overall 6.1/10 it failed to meet a mark.
The overall fun is also something I measure a game. Slapstick games or certain kidns like Mario, has replay value to it. It wasn't the most enjoyable or fun game to play.
Nobody asked you tho.
dude, the frame rate is terrible right at the beginning of the game, are you kidding? it's such a big issue. I can't take this review seriously, you're lying to your viewers....
Turned based?!! Boooooo!! Was gonna buy it until I found that out. Looks beautiful, but turned based is boring.
@Ryder Barton yeah I'll go play Warframe, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Bayonetta, and GOW. You can have your boooooring wannabe Pokemon game lol.
