A 'playable poem'
In the visually stunning "Child of Light" (Ubisoft; Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii U and PC, $15), players take on the role of Aurora as she ventures into the realm of Lemuria to help restore its sun, moon and stars. Along the way, the Dark Queen, Umbra, will pit you against her evil minions and put obstacles in your way. With your trusty sidekick, Igniculus, you can slow down attacks, heal allies and pick up helpful items during your journey. Ubisoft calls this game a "playable poem"; we call it wonderful.
