Elegance. It's a word I've rarely found applicable where video games are concerned, but there's no better way to describe what Ubisoft has achieved with Child of Light . With its earthy, hand-painted art style and charming character designs, it deftly sidesteps the tropey land mines that have...

Beautiful art; Excellent combat; Hand crafted feel; Well balanced

Forced rhyming

If you've followed our website at all you know that I usually steer clear of the RPG genre. It's a genre that I admire, but from a safe and protected distance. However something caught my eye in recent weeks that I couldn't let slip through the cracks.

I come away from 'Child of Light' more disappointed than unsatisfied. There is immense potential in Ubisoft's Framework development engine and the team behind it, and I hope they take this game as a lesson on the path to greater, more focused design. First, the gameplay is everything.

There are a growing number of indie games that will grant players wondrous, creative experiences that a big publisher too focused on the bottom line wouldn't dare try.

It's Final Fantasy meets Dr. Seuss as Ubisoft delivers one of the best titles of 2014 with the dream-like Child of Light.

Gorgeous aesthetics throughout; Deep and evolved gameplay systems; Great characters; Brilliantly told story; Good value for your money

More progression in terms of mechanics would have been nice; Story is rich on clichés

Over the past few years, Ubisoft's Ubi Art studio produced gorgeous 2-D games, namely 2011's Rayman Origins and its grand 2013 follow-up, Rayman Legends . For its latest project, Child of Light , the developers took an entirely new direction, creating a fantasy world and surrounding it with...

Tremendous presentation; with hand-drawn visuals and a worthwhile soundtrack; Gameplay doesn't follow the role-playing norm; The multiplayer isn't as strong as other games; but works well enough

Rhyming dialogue can be its own worst enemy; May take a while to get into the battle system; Can be too easy unless you crank up the difficulty
