    Child Of Light

    Child of Light is very visually appealing, using the UbiArt engine just like Rayman Origins and Legends. It features a hand-drawn art-style with watercolours, and really nice animations like the flowing hair of the prota... Read Full Review

    Great artworks!

    Heard a lot of good praise for this game, and to my experience it was all true. The artwork for this game is just one of the best, and it is just 2D-platformer. The gameplays is also as good as the other JRPG out there ... Read Full Review
