Review: Candlelight (Sony PlayStation 4) | Digitally Downloaded

Review by Harvard L.

Candlelight feels like a marriage between the modern platformer and a walking simulator. Its production values are wonderful and there is a sheer joy in every aspect of the game's design which is infectious. This is backed by simple yet solid platformer mechanics which do a good job of drawing the player through the lavish environments, making the player forget that they're even bound to a 2D plane. Developed as a passion project by one man studio, Pixel Maverick Games, Candlelight is vibrant, contemplative and a great game for all ages.
