If like this writer you have a big crush on Rayman Legends & Origins’ distinctive visual style, this Child of Light trailer is your nectar. The game’s build around the same UbiArt Framework engine that powered the limbless one’s last two magnificent adventures, but unlike Ray it’s a side-scrolling RPG with an eye on Studio Ghibli’s output.
This Child of Light Trailer is the most soothing thing you’ll see today
Developed by many of the same team who brought you the bombastic colonialist fantasy Far Cry 3, Child of Light shares only an upgrade system with the open world shooter. Its more immediate gameplay influences come from Final Fantasy’s battle system, Limbo and Vagrant Story. It’s available for PS3 and PS4 from April 30th, and it might just end up being one of 2014′s best PS4 RPGs.
So pour yourself a peppermint tea. Drink in the watercolour shades. Let that rainy day piano resonate with your soul. Hear what it’s saying? “Everything’s going to be alright”. Ahhhh. Look out for our review, coming soon.
