Sky: Children of the Light

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3775759838 [i]You must not believe that your work is without value. Do not lose courage. Better days are ahead. You are not alone. I am always thinking of you. One day, people will understand what you are really trying to do.[/i] [hr] I remember when this game was iOS only, and along the way it released for Android, consoles, and then PC. I've had Sky in my library since it first dropped on Steam, but I never got to touch it. Now I finally got to experience it because of the Dear Van Gogh trailer, the collab celebrating Vincent Van Gogh's legacy. And honestly? It was great. I cried a bit. The gameplay is an interactive journey through Van Gogh's life, art, and inner world. You get to explore these playable environments built from his most iconic paintings. Everyone knows his art legacy, but not his full story, and that's what this collab really leans into. You witness his struggles, his creative breakthroughs, and the unbreakable bond he had with his family: his brother Theo's constant support, and Theo's wife Johanna's mission to make sure the world actually saw how brilliant his work was. You could really tell the Sky team put their whole effort into this collaboration. The credits featured actual real-life places and images tied to Van Gogh and the people involved in his life. One thing everyone knows is the iconic ear. Sky handled it a little differently than what I've seen elsewhere. Not saying I disagree with it, since there are a bunch of theories about what really happened. It's just interesting seeing it framed as the crows' screams hurting Vincent's ear. That got me thinking, out of every artist in history, why is Vincent the one who keeps popping up across so many different types of media? I've seen him in the Loving Vincent documentary movie, now in this Sky collab, and I even remember one Chalkzone episode on Nickelodeon where Vincent lost his ear because he messed up coloring a client's dog's eye. After finishing the quest, I made my way back to Story Space and noticed Moomin, The Little Prince, and AURORA are still there from past collaborations, which I'm going to see next.

媽的 難用到死

I don't usually write lengthy or critical reviews, yet I feel compelled to do so. I have played this game well before its Steam release (circa 2021) and have invested countless hours so I suppose I'm able to give a honest review about it. THE GOOD ASPECTS The game presents a stunning visual and auditory experience. It offers minimal exposition or textual guidance, and on an initial playthrough, the narrative flows seamlessly, exhibiting excellent pacing. If you appreciated Journey, you ought to sample this title at least once. The developers have crafted visual cues and overall intuitiveness. Even during your inaugural run, significant landmarks gleam from afar, pathways are inferable from the map's organization, and most maps are compact enough to permit exploration without guides. Social interactions and multiplayer elements are reasonably decent, I have many memories from the people I met in this game. THE BAD ASPECTS Given its origins as a free mobile title, the game exhibits considerable grind after completion. Items are exorbitantly priced, and there is an element of FOMO. If these mechanisms bother you, a single playthrough solely for the main narrative suffices. I strongly disapprove of TGC's predatory practices, their inadequate communication with players, their reluctance to address reported concerns or persistent bugs, and their overpriced in-app purchases. These factors underpin the complaints voiced by myself and others. We criticize out of affection for the game and a desire for its improvement. It possesses immense potential, yet its prime has long passed... Moreover, the game is predominantly focused on cosmetics, some seasons can be concluded in under thirty minutes, yet the content is intended to sustain engagement over sixty days. Furthermore, regarding socialization, they barely make content that you can actually enjoy with others that isn't paywalled like furniture, items, swings and such which is lamentable. I believe my point is clear... I admire Sky but disapprove of TGC's management, and I hope for future improvements.

peaceful

В целом игра приятная, но когда все духи собраны и все события на данный момент пройдены, то все, что остается - копить свечки, местную валюту. Все превращается в монотонный бесцветный гринд, очень быстро надоедающий. Игре не хватает какого-то глобального геймплея, каких-то побочных занятий или иного смысла исследовать мир, не считая ежедневные задания. События случаются не настолько часто, чтобы компенсировать этот минус

我记得以前这个在国区打不开的，今天跟着游戏推荐竟然发现可以测评。那就给将近三年的光遇来个总结吧。 第一次玩sky是在ns上，玩的国际服，认识到了很好的朋友，虽然现在没有联系，但是曾经的美好时光还是让人很怀念。 从每天疯狂游玩到每天只上去做每日任务，时间好像变得非常紧张，最后......... 从ns到ipad到steam。sky真是跟着我兜兜转转，一直陪着我，一直抚慰我。
