Free-to-play now on Steam Early Access
It’s been lovely to see Thatgamecompany bring the likes ofJourneyandFlowerto PC, following their debuts on other platforms long before, and oh look here comes their latest too.Sky: Children Of The Lightis now available free-to-play in early access on Steam, inviting everyone to explore a pretty world full of pretty sights and sounds in this “peaceful” MMO. Having installed it and started playing it myself, the important part is: yes, you can slide down hills in this one too.
There you are, a being fallen from the sky to restore a darkened kingdom on a series of adventures to jump, fly, swim, solve puzzles, and generally be pleasant. Like Journey, it’s more into vibes than challenge. And it’s an MMO, so you can join up with folks and get into social activities.
Sky: Children Of The Light is available nowon Steam Early Accessfor Windows. It’s free-to-play, funded by selling cosmetics (£25 for a Journey costume?!) and a season pass which offers extra cosmetics.
The next season will start on Monday the 15th, introducing the ability tocreate your own little Nest/home.
I’ve heard that playing Sky in the long-term turns into grinding busywork to earn currencies to buy cosmetics, which I have no interest in, but ah sure I’ve installed it so I can have a single playthrough of the campaign. I’m okay with just stopping when I’m done. Thoughts on the game, veteran Lightchildren?
