Child of Light is an indie game
Developed and published by Ubisoft (for shame!).
It came out a while back but I’ve only just finished
The wondrous and confusing colourful skirmish.
To follow the rules the game has set for us,
It doesn’t matter if it rhymes, that couldn’t last.
The story is the strong point, the pillar upholding
The rest of the game which I would say is folding.
Oh and don’t worry about thinking too hard,
You can always just go and play the comedy… Angle.
(Surely, you mean “card”. Yeah, that joke got real boring real fast.)
The witch is evil, boo-hoo, Margaret Thatcher,Queen of dark, haha get it? Now go and thrash her.
You’re a child dressed in white like it says on the tin
And you use violence and friendship to fend off all the sin.
You fight for justice just like the police
And you’re unintentionally ambiguous – oh pur-lease!
The battles are samey, full of samey opponents,
But you usually level up and gain some components
Of which there are plenty – eight all in full –
In different tiers of ‘-shit’, from holy to bull.
The betrayal is obvious, betrayed by the trope,
But when you lose the helpful partner, another brings hope
With no repercussions and little agency.
The game doesn’t rush you even when it faints urgency.
Aurora magically ages and no one bats an eyelid
Within the game itself, but God knows that I did.
The music is pretty, both of the songs,
I suppose they don’t tire because the game’s not so long.
Finally, the absolute best feature,
Our protagonist is a creature
Of fairy tales, what with being a fairy,
And one who flies! How fun is it? Very.
The medieval jetpack of magic and wings
Carries you everywhere and with you joy brings.
Is the game good? Only as much as its protagonist,
It gets shit done and looks good while at it,
So give it a shot and get… Prepared.
Child of Light is: a cursed poet with a bloodied pen trying to end his life/10
