In Sky: Children of the Light you can let yourself get taken by the hand, and the other player guides/plays for you and you barely need to do anything anymore. Felt a bit absurd and funny, but interesting nonetheless. Certainly unique. It was also very good to eat some snacks and watch yourself progress while doing so.
Sky is an interesting and visually beautiful/well-crafted game. It has many things going for it. But also things I found frustrating and annoying.
I was also confused quite a bit, about quite a few things about what is happening and interacting in what way.
If only there weren’t so many cutscenes blocking me from actually playing the game and feeling embedded in the world and atmosphere. I hate those disrupting cutscenes. Forced camera focus was also annoying at times.
Overall, I find Sky quite interesting, and can certainly recommend taking a look at and even into it.
Sky: Children of the Light is available on Steam for free, in Early Access. It has also been available on iOS since 2019, Android since 2020, Switch since 2021, PS4 since 2022.
Walking back and forth between sofa + controller + TV and my PC + keyboard to chat with people was a hassle though 🤡 (I was streaming PC to TV so it was the same thing. Chatting is entirely optional.)
(Sorry for the shitty screenshot photo of hand-holding.)
Have you played Sky? What did you think of the implementation of social systems and interactions with other players?
I love Sky and most people there genuinely are so nice. And now on Steam I can finally play it with a decent framerate (the Switch was a big step up from my phone already but that still struggled sometimes)
Just downloaded this on my Deck, perfect time to try it out while sick in a hotel :/
Good thing you have your Deck with you I guess. :) I hope you’ll get better soon.
I haven’t played this in a while I think I’ll load it up
