Hands-on with Child of Light’s First Two Hours [Capsule Computers]

Zac Elawar of Capsule Computers writes:

"Some might look at Child of Light as a bit of an enigma amongst the large catalogue of Ubisoft Montreal-developed games… a side-scrolling, 2.5D role-playing game inspired by the fairy tales of our childhoods and some of the gaming community’s Japanese favourites, namely the early Final Fantasy entries. Sounds surprising, but I don’t know exactly why that is; the team has shown an outstanding talent base and ability to create extremely varied experiences, from Just Dance 3 to Far Cry 3, Prince of Persia and even Shaun White Skateboarding. Child of Light is a particularly creative endeavour, though, which has captured my attention and imagination after playing through its first two hours as a solo experience."
