Child of Light is a stunning RPG video game created by famous developer Ubisoft. It’s actually one of the company’s most unusual game releases. Evocative, charming, and packed with breathtaking music and visuals, Child of Light conjures emotions you’ve never experienced in a game before. The featured in-game art is absolutely breathtaking. Some have called it a “world of watercolor, painted by hand”, and we have to admit that the visuals are like something pulled from a child’s storybook. Some…

Nether Preview
Nether is a post-apocalyptic open world multiplayer game with an emphasis on survival. The style can be compared to Day Z, but instead of a zombie apocalypse, the world was hit with solar flares that mutated a portion of the population into Nethers.

Instead he found that the average score across both new-gen systems was roughly the same, skewed slightly towards Sony despite them releasing so many more games.
