Sky: Children of the Light
Sky: Children of the Light
Sky: Children of the Light est un jeu d'aventure sociale développé par ThatGameCompany et édité par NetEase Games et ThatGameCompany, sorti le 11 juillet 2019. Disponible sur PC, Android, iOS, PlayStation 4 et Nintendo Switch, le titre mêle aventure, jeu de rôle, réflexion et puzzle dans une production indépendante. Il utilise le moteur PhyreEngine et propose une durée de vie d'environ cinq heures pour l'histoire principale, ou de trente-deux heures et demie pour les joueurs souhaitant en faire le tour complet.
Le jeu emmène les joueurs dans un monde situé au-dessus des nuages, un royaume autrefois prospère qu'il faut aider à reconstruire. Muni d'une cape offrant la capacité de voler, le joueur explore sept royaumes thématiques, chacun représentant une étape de la vie, ainsi qu'un hub central nommé Home. Au fil de l'exploration, il rencontre des esprits qui débloquent des objets en échange de monnaie de jeu, et des enfants de lumière qui confèrent une lumière ailée ; en accumulant cette lumière, le niveau de la cape augmente et permet de voler plus loin. L'aventure consiste à découvrir des reliques, déchiffrer des fresques, libérer des esprits ancestraux et vaincre les Ténèbres, dans un monde où l'entraide et la bienveillance sont mises en avant.
L'accueil critique a été largement positif. Le jeu obtient un score de 84 sur OpenCritic et une note agrégée de 79,79. La presse a salué l'expérience : Gamezebo recommande ainsi le jeu à tous les possesseurs d'iOS, évoquant une expérience à couper le souffle, tandis que Pocket Tactics décrit un mélange de course sans fin, de MMO et de puzzles qui atteint des sommets. Les joueurs sur Metacritic sont également conquis, l'un parlant d'un jeu merveilleux aux graphismes et à la jouabilité incroyables, l'autre, qui joue depuis des années, expliquant avoir fait une longue pause avant de revenir.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Ultimately, it’s a game best experienced for yourself, and we recommend it to literally every single person who owns an iOS device. Sky is a breathtaking, heartwarming, and incredibly rewarding experience. »
« With a touch of endless runner, a dash of MMO, and just a sprinkling of puzzles, Sky: Children of the Light soars to lofty heights. »
« Sky: Children of the Light is the latest effort from Thatgamecompany, who succeeded in creating a game that feels both like a spiritual successor to Journey and like something completely new. »
« The successor to beloved Journey is larger and more courageous. Sky is innovative, magical, boasting a unique multiplayer system straining to make us courteous and… good. It is simply incomparable to any other mobile game. »
« Sky expands on the successful gameplay ideas of the developer’s previous games, but with a greater sense of progression, replayability, and a far more involved social component. Conceptually, this new project is a deeply felt meditation on empathy and the connections between people, couched in the same unpretentious and thoughtful presentation we’ve come to expect from the studio. Sky is a refreshingly moving and robust game on the iOS platform, and one best shared with others – especially folks who might not normally pick up a video game. »
« Sky: Children of the Light is a breathtaking follow-up to thatgamecompany’s previous hit, Journey, that surprised and delighted me from start to finish with its subtle story of exploration and healing. Visually, it’s breathtaking to behold on a mobile device and it delivers one of the most memorable and purely joyous multiplayer experiences I’ve had in recent memory. This is an adventure for anyone and everyone. »
« One of the most sofisticated and imaginative games for mobile platforms, Sky wants to fly high but it's stopped by unsuitable touch controls and an inconsistent framerate. »
« Thatgamecompany has created a great game with Sky, having a strong emphasis on discovery and friendship. The game regularly feels like an ode to Journey. The in-app purchases hardly affect this magic, but the bugs and sloppy controls sometimes do. »

« Jogo maravilhoso! História, Experiência, Gráficos e jogabilidades incríveis, nada a reclamar desse jogo, simplesmente incrível! »
« I love sky have been playing for years! But I did stop for a long time (like idk 4-5 years) sadly to focus on school and was very depressed. BUT I have played everyday this year and saldy I did miss alot of seasons ! I do wish i could experience them. Like aurora (missed it the first time and the other times ouch) but I am very excited for Van gogh season! I really hope Aurora comes back this year me and my sis are huge fans! PS! if you buy keychains ( or other with the STAR CODE) on the sky shop (I tested) it dose takes a while (depends where you live) but I got it and I adore it! (Ai kizuna) (sadly missed that collab to) it's heavy , the package is very cute love the box looks like a pink petal but when u fold it out it looks like her bow! Very cute and yes the star code only last for 1 min you can't scan it on ipad (at least the one I have) but it works on any phoen if they have the NFC connection! I do wish it last longer or it's permanent for that price 500kr (sw) Anyways back to sky! Yes I have read that many players stop playing for just and update ik its home for many players (not for me tho is the first home spot I was there when they released the valley ;P) but we do need some changes in life that shouldn't stop anyone for playing a game they love. Sure I also have ups and downs on games I love that's how life works. Instead of being gloomy over changes think of how the future memories could be for you and the new moths! Sure I do hope they put something where old cafe was and all ! It feels a bit empty in that corner rn BUT we gotta trust our dearest developers! »
« … I’m really sorry, but I’m removing sky and I don’t think I’ll ever play again. This was one of my favorite games I’ve ever played. I just went through a really painful time with my family battling health concerns and I finally had time to play again. I opened my game to find the realm portals, cafe, and 50 other things crammed into the center of my home village… I ran around for 15 minutes, googling any possible way to put my home back the way it belongs, but for literally no reason, the game developers took the peaceful, fresh, and open air village and made it a stuffy, cramped, overwhelming, messy environment… Maybe when my life is a little less painful and filled with stress, this chaotic, cramped space will be something I could try to muscle through and work to ignore, but, just when I needed my aviary village home to be a safe, peaceful space… it was destroyed… This is a beautiful game. Truly a work of art, but the game developers hunger for innovation and shock value at any cost has ruined for me a game which really had a special place in my heart… goodbye aviary village.🤍 »
« Depois da Maldita Lei Felca Fui Banido injustamente por interagir com Amigos, Não entendo o motivo, sendo que o jogo é obrigatório interagir pra fazer missões do Passe... Fiquei decepcionado eles precisam escolher Em colocar Crianças que tem tempo pra jogar, ou Adultos que pagam pra ficar.... »
