I've been hyping this on system wars since it was announced. I absolutely can't wait for this one.

It's a short game for a RPG from what I read.10-12 hours, so I hope they price it $15.

"“There’s this perception that if it’s not on a disc or it doesn’t retail for 60 dollars, it’s not worth it,” Plourde concluded. “And that mentality is changing. For me Child of Light is as valuable is a 60 dollar game and it’s as long, it’s a long game – more than 10 hours, easily.”

The coop looks like it could be fun too.

You can preorder the PC version on Amazon for $15 and get a $5 credit. I am just assuming $15 is the price on all platforms.

You Bastard ! ! ! Why didn't you tell me this Game has Local Co-op ? You know I can't say anything bad about games with co-op :(.

I just realized why this game isn't getting hype despite it coming out so soon.

Its being made by Ubisoft and they aren't known for making "JRPGs"

on top of that... I've never seen a JRPG with co-op. Maybe people think it won't work out.

Anyway... The bottom line is.... Theres local Co-Op. Thats all that matters.

Artstyle looks amazing, but that doesn't surprise me as it's on the same engine as Rayman Origins & Legends.

Gameplay is not my cup of tea, but seeing as how I liked South Park, I guess I'll give it a try...

While i'm usually not a fan of turn based combat I like the approach they seem to be taking with Child of Light. I plan on picking it up on day one.

It looks pretty good for an Ubisoft game.

It's biggest hurdle is being an Ubisoft game.

I know its coming for PS3 dont know about the other platforms but anything that is interesting and also on the PS4 has be bought on the PS4.. trying my best to slowly move away from the PS3 but the amount of games coming out on the PS3 monthly make that pretty hard.

@finalstar2007: Fair enough. I'd probably do the same in your situation. Have you been getting your PS4 Plus games? I think you can purchase them through the browser or the mobile app even if you don't have a PS4, that way you can already have a nice library of indies.

The art style is goddamn gorgeous. No doubt about that. And the RPG gameplay looks solid. So I say it's worth a try.

I'm thinking about getting it on the Wii U as well, because I like the touch screen interface for turn-based games. I'm kind of waiting on Ubisoft to announce a whole host of missing features for that version to change my mind before release, though.

it has hype and it is garbage. I can't believe they had the nerve to call it a 60$ game. I could only spend 10$ tops for these 10 hours of gameplay.

It's not $60. Yes reviews say it is short, but Child of Light is only $14.99 as a DD title.

Of course, I don't pay full price for DD games so I'll pick it up on a sale months from now.

That perception needs to die and burn in a pit of flames already! I hyped so many digital download games last gen on here and I always got "no pyshical who cares" form 90% of system wars people... It drove me crazy so I stopped mentioning anything DD becuase people on here are closed minded as the come. Sad really. So many great DD games for $5-20 out there, either indie or studio made.

The first I realized DD was worth it is When I saw the Review for Lara Croft and The Guardian of Life.

I've never thought less of DD Games after that. Except how much I really wished I had this game on Disk

Such a beautiful game that just wants you to explore. Just got the ability to fly around, so I pretty excited to do so throughout. Combat is pretty nice too, I like you can slow down enemies time to act especially. Did I forget to mention it is beautiful? Ubisoft been rocking with 2D recently.

Not to mention the soundtrack is incredible.

Also, the lass that made the music is quite the looker.

Not to overstate it but I truly believe this game is in the top 5 most artistically beautiful games of all time. Like the first time you played Okami beautiful.

Soundtrack is also VERY well done.

I don't know, I would say it has to do with only being 8-10 hours, but for the price it sounds more than reasonable.
