What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Personally i love with all my being the turn-based RPG games that keep the things simple and get more focused in the story or the art, Child of Light is one of them, with a fairy tales-theme and an amazing soundtrack (more intense in the bosses fight), the game feels very natural, there's no need to waste hours and hours grinding (problem in many others RPG ́S) for level or items because the difficulty of the game doesn't requires it.

The art style and graphics to this game was top notch and extremely beautiful!
+ Has a very casual gameplay
I played on Steam Deck; no special settings were required and the controls felt perfect.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
