Child of Light

can't launch the game, fxxk u ubisoft connect

Child of Light is a delightful little game: engaging, enjoyable and charming throughout, with the only negative being a potential rushed ending section which makes the game appear as though the developers ran out of time or money at the very end. Many players may disagree, being glad that the story doesn't needlessly drag on, but it felt like it had more to give; ending a little abruptly rather than appropriately. But as was the case in 2014, it is still difficult to recommend in its current state - courtesy of the mandated Ubisoft Connect. In order to play, this game requires a one-time sign into Ubisoft's own 3rd party launcher. From here, the game can be played in offline mode, without any internet connection. This makes it more tedious to play this game on a new device, each one requiring an installation of Ubisoft Connect, leaving the customer with a looming dread that their access to the game may be revoked. For example, users could purchase and run this game on the defunct Windows Vista/7 in 2014. But the current version of Ubisoft Connect no longer functions on these systems without the user intervening and downloading old installation files; ones that could simply one day vanish. This is a criticism that can often be directed at Steam itself, and what is here is just a simplification. We could go back and forth on this matter of supporting old systems and offering offline downloads, but let's not. Regardless, it's still the case that this process of installing (unnecessary) clients has to be done twice - for no good reason. In other words, it is an attempt to siphon users from Steam to Ubisoft, gaining some account and system data and the like in the process, which could serve such purposes as flaunting to potential clients their vast, and partially inflated, user-base. The saving grace is that this single player game doesn't require a permanent online connection. That would displease me immensely. As is stands, it's a mild grievance and annoyance.

Currently, acquiring games published by Ubisoft may not be the best decision, despite the quality they may offer. This is due to the company's policies regarding access to the games and the licenses we purchase. A recent example is the case of The Crew, whose servers were shut down, depriving players not only of the multiplayer mode but also of the single-player story mode, and is now also is inaccessible on Ubisoft Connect. This situation is not new; in the past, we saw similar attempts with games like Assassin's Creed III and Far Cry 3, where server closures affected access to DLCs. A more serious case was that of Might & Magic Duel of Champions, a free-to-play game with microtransactions, whose closure not only removed the game from stores but also erased achievements and statistics from accounts, rendering important player information inaccessible. With this panorama, we cannot guarantee that Ubisoft games, especially those linked to their Ubisoft Connect application, will remain in our accounts or that we can play them when we want. Until there is a change in these policies, it is not recommended to acquire these titles. Personally, games linked to this company will no longer be part of my wishlist, even if I am interested in playing them. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- En la actualidad, adquirir juegos publicados por Ubisoft puede no ser la mejor decisión, a pesar de la calidad que puedan ofrecer. Esto se debe a las políticas de la empresa en cuanto al acceso a los juegos y las licencias que compramos. Un ejemplo reciente es el caso de The Crew, cuyos servidores fueron cerrados, privando no solo del modo multijugador, sino también del modo historia para un jugador, y que además ahora es inaccesible en Ubisoft Connect.

Un caso más grave fue el de Might & Magic Duel of Champions, un juego free-to-play con microtransacciones, cuyo cierre no solo eliminó el juego de las tiendas, sino que también borró logros y estadísticas de las cuentas, volviendo inaccesible información importante para los jugadores. Con este panorama, no podemos garantizar que los juegos de Ubisoft, especialmente los ligados a su aplicación Ubisoft Connect, permanezcan en nuestras cuentas o que podamos jugarlos cuando deseemos. Hasta que no haya un cambio en estas políticas, no se recomienda adquirir estos títulos. Personalmente, los juegos ligados a esta empresa dejarán de formar parte de mi lista de deseos, aunque tenga interés en jugarlos. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I recently bought this game on Steam however have been playing it for many years on Xbox, this is probably my favourite RPG, i think its just perfect and would recommend people to give this game a go. OST is also goated (Coeur de pirate my beloved) and factoring in the artwork and story this game is just a beautiful masterpiece.

怀念以前那个不只有罐头的育碧

The game has never launched successfully for me. Massive failure by the required Ubisoft game launcher application. I'll have to remember never to buy an Ubisoft game again.

Infelizmente devido a uma atualização do launcher da Ubisoft, o jogo não funciona mais.
