Sky: Children of the Light

Definitivamente si. Será simple o lo que quieras decirle, pero la conexión que haces con otros jugadores, solo se siente igual en Journey. Encima es muy cozy, relajante y disfrutas de los paisajes, que tiene un aspecto artístico muy lindo.

Do not play this game. Please read before going in even if it's long. You need to know how bad it is, and how it traps you in a system you can't (or don't want to) escape. The basics of the game outside of the first playthrough is farm candle wax until you 'grey', a mechanic that makes getting the currency to buy cosmetics outside of just using IRL money. 15 is the max before the buff fades. You can go to 20 but it's much more of a grind. It takes about 1 hour every day if you're efficient and know all the shortcuts and routes. On the surface that's fine but what they don't tell you is that in order to have any chance of affording each travelling spirit within the 2 week gap before another visits, you need to farm every since day a minimum of 15 to get anything good. For two weeks farming you get 225 candles- which sounds fine until they pad the tree out with 'spells', mandatory purchases between items that cost 5 candles each. On top of that there is a social currency you can only get from other players being kind enough to gift you, which is 3 candles each called 'hearts'. On top of that if you don't know about the code adding system, the entire friendship mechanics require candles to start & level up, reducing what candles you had. Multiplayer emotes to hold your friend on your back so you can melt candles easier costs 30ish candles in total. PER PERSON. Suddenly those 225 candles are more like 170, maybe less, if you want enough hearts to be able to afford the multiple tiers of emotes that cost exclusively hearts. Emotes are essential to communicating in sky and are a flex item essentially if you have enough to afford *all four versions of one emote*. Some of these spirits that visit from past seasons can cost over 200 candles, so you understand and particularly elusive ones can be gone for up to 3 - 4 YEARS. So you can understand the immense FOMO that they are using. This isn't including that the spirit prices are secretly going up bit by bit, the devs are constantly adding quiet nerfs to wax amounts in certain areas & if you weren't there when event items cost event currency, old event items now also cost candles. Up to 100 candles for past event items that were previously 30 event currency max. Some of the in game events are 5 years old and every year they add 3 items per event on average so it's a nightmare for any new players. It's just not feasible anymore for someone new to get what they're after, even if you're picking minimal options. Oh by the way, every 3 months 3 - 6 travelling spirits arrive for two weeks costing a total of 1200 on average to get everything, and chances are these spirits also won't return for another 3 years. Usually at the same time as a regular travelling spirit visiting. Now we move on to the fact that most items regardless of how much farming you do cost straight up cash. Not a little bit mind you- some items that are just cloaks cost 25 GBP. That's more than the cost of silk song for a fictional garment. And that's just one item, events on average drop about 4 different paid cosmetics on average per event that cycles around and there are multiple events per month usually outside of the season pass that has 'ultimate cosmetics' that never ever return. The season pass is the only reasonable item but guess what- you have to do dailies to get the seasonal candles to unlock the items you already paid for. Best not miss too many days because you'll have to buy candle packs to make up for the loss!!! How much are these candle packs you ask? 5 GBP. For 15 candles- total, seasonal or regular. But don't worry you can buy 150 regular candles (plus a cheeky bonus amount of candles) for 50 GBP! So worth it right??? They sometimes tack on candle packs to cash items to make them more expensive too, so there's that. Finally, I need to address the culture of the game itself. The playerbase of this game is not at ALL what the game conveys. Nobody actually wants to get to know you, not really. I call this game the loneliest game in the world because what fleeting friends you might make never actually remember you or avoid you the day after adding. Nobody comes to talk to you, and if you aren't a certain level of winged light / don't dress to the trending cultural fashion that has emerged in this game, chances are you'll get treated badly. There is an obsession in this game to look as close to asian fashion standards without saying it, and I mean this politely. The go to 'meta' outfit is all outfits inspired from china, japan, korea and the cultures within that area of the world, and if you don't dress that specific way you will get disgust emotes spammed at you. The main outfit every person i've met that acts this way is similar to a japanese yukata, a plain black cloak that costs 50 hearts, a staff on the back that costs 30 hearts, ancestor hair which is the most expensive kinds of hair in the game, and a few other choice cash items. The amount of bullying i've gotten from Taiwanese players or Japanese players has been immense for not conforming and wearing something different, and they will talk ♥♥♥♥ to your face if you happen to be sitting at a table once they've lit you (revealed your appearances to each other, another core mechanic of the game). This is stacked on top of many players only value 'veterans' of the game to be worth socialising with. Players with a certain amount of stars and old ultimate cosmetics from seasons that elapsed over 4 years ago. Notable ones are Rhythm ult hair, assembly ult hair, Prophecy Anubis ult mask. Season of shattering ult cloaks. There is an unhealthy amount of obsession with these items that the devs are now recreating Legally Distinct ult versions in the modern day to what I assume is quell the hype and toxicity around the fanbase without getting in legal trouble. The culture of the game itself is such a freak of nature that trying to explain it outside of such a niche bubble looks utterly insane. The entire system is a feedback loop of grinding cosmetics for social currency so you don't get bullied by the community or just utterly ignored if you try to make friends but because everything is so crazy expensive you don't want to waste candles by making friends. Don't be like me, I went too deep and am trapped in the loop of grinding. If I miss a day or take a break, all of my progress will be set back by years by design. This isn't a game you can 'put down' and resume later, because they make sure you pay for it in years if you do. Heed my warning, run and never look back.
