About the story
In Sky, players explore a once prosperous kingdom using a cape that gives them the ability to fly. The in-game world consists of seven unique realms, each with a different theme being represented as a stage of life and a variety of areas to explore. There is also Home, a small island which serves as the world hub and the starting place when the game is opened. Throughout the world, players encounter "spirits" that allow them to unlock items in return for in-game currency, and "children of light" that give players "winged light". When a player has collected enough winged light, their cape level goes up, increasing the cape's maximum energy and allowing the player to fly farther.

Critic Reviews
By Luke Gittens
Sky: Children of the Light is a great game that does something different in the multiplayer gaming genre and casts a primary focus on socializing, whether it be having fun with friends, making new peers, and anything in-between. It’s an experience that you definitely would not want to miss out on, with its beautiful visuals, unique style, interesting lore, and fascinating characters in the form of both spirits and players alike. There is no end to what you can accomplish in the game, and with new content being added every season, it’s safe to say that the game will continue to have a successful run for a long time to come.

Sky: Children of Light on PlayStation feels right at home, bringing back that warm and fuzzy feeling Journey provided to so many people.

Sky: Children of the Light is a welcome addition to the PlayStation ecosystem, especially in a post-COVID world where happiness and cooperation are fleeting. As an MMO, Sky's approach to player retention, exploration, and connection are uplifting, positive, and indeed show the brighter side of humanity. I wish that a PS5-upgrade could better integrate my DualSense into the gameplay, but in the grand scheme of cooperation and connection, Sky hits the sweet spot of an incredibly chill gameplay experience.

Sky: Children of the Light may not be as triumphantly impactful as Journey, but it still stands out as a very distinct online experience that gave me many of the same feelings thatgamecompany's 2012 classic did. At the starting price of free, it's hard not to recommend this game to anyone seeking an antidote to the combat-led arena of multiplayer gaming.

I will remember this world for quite a while due to its closeness to Journey, but the experience as such will soon begin to fade.
