Screenshot and trailers from Sky: Children of Light

Positive points

• A minimalist, poetic atmosphere
• The beauty of animation
• A wide range of multi
• The ability to interact only in a positive way

Negative points

• A pointless single-player campaign
• The business model for a game service
• The lack of guidance makes the game difficult to access for new players

A game for: those who want a caring and calming multiplayer experience.

My final opinion of Sky: Children of Light

Sky: Children of Light is far from being devoid of interest and is sure to win over those looking for a chill, good-natured multiplayer game. To interact with other players, you'll need to offer them candles, the game's most important currency. And to get them, you have no choice but to farm them (or buy them via the game's hub, for real money...).

The more candles you give away, the more interactions you'll unlock, including chat and expressions (emotes). Once you've established a bond with other players, you can explore the world of Sky together, hand in hand (literally), or take part in activities. In fact, many quests and events are only possible when you're in a group. You'll have to hope you're an experienced player, though, as the game gives you little or no indication of what you need to do or what your objectives are, which can lead to a certain amount of frustration.

Proof that Sky is probably one of the most popular MMOs, the game holds the world record for the largest virtual concert, ahead of Roblox and Fortnite.

On the other hand, the lacklustre story and the various environments are sorely lacking in substance, despite the poetic atmosphere conveyed by the minimalist graphics and superb animations. The lightness of the cape's movements and the exhilarating sensations of flying or sliding will nevertheless give you a good time. But you won't forget the parts where you have to explore a succession of empty levels to find the spirits of light waiting to be freed.

With its uninteresting main quest, long, contemplative cinematics, laborious camera management and a business model similar to that of a service game (cosmetic purchases or season passes to unlock additional content), my opinion of Sky: Children of Light is mixed. Even so, I think it will appeal to those looking for a relaxing time to share.

Despite its qualities, Sky: Children of Light failed to dazzle me.
