What do you guys think of Child of Light?

I've heard good reviews of the game and fell in love with the soundtrack (was very very surprised Coeur de Pirate composed it!) so I thought I'd give it a go but... I'm a bit bored already. I'm not sure if it's because of the excessive rhyming (getting the same vibes as Tactics Ogre) but yeah...

So what do you guys think of the game?

Coeur de Pirate is wonderful, Child of Light is messy. There are way too many pointless party members, the battles are way too slow, and while the game is very pretty there's just not a lot going on.

It was an attempt at a Metroidvania without any of the secrets, planning or setting details that makes Metroidvanias fun... and instead of just being a pretty romp, battles had to be soooo sloooowwww.

4/10, "you tried"
Oh thank god I wasn't the only one who thought the battles were slow. I'm not sure if any people experienced it but whenever a battle starts the loading is kinda... slow?

BAH guess I'll just buy Persona 4 this saturday for the vita. Or maybe even add this "animal crossing" game for the DS (heard a loooot about this game already so, erm, guess I should probably get my arse and play it..!)
Want to play it some time since it looks nice and have heard good things about it.
Other than being pretty that's all there is to it (though I can't really say much since I haven't finished the game yet.)

but yeah as craze said, "you tried", and while I'm not gonna be strongly against it, I'm not gonna recommend this game either

My word may not mean much, since I've only played about three hours, but I'm loving it so far. An RPG with a strong atmosphere isn't something I come across often, so this was a real treat for me. So far, I've never had an issue with slow battles. They give me more time to think and to use my ability to slow down the enemies so I can act before them.

Again though, I've only played three hours, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
Eh, I rather liked it, even though there were points where I thought it could have been compressed a little in order to speed things up a bit. Granted, it's not the best battle system in the world (in fact, I'd say that's what really drags it down - the rest of the game is pretty nice, especially the huge amount of exploration and being able to fly and collect stuff. X3 )

See, I feel that the atmosphere is all fake and just fluff. OOOH FOG but like... there's nothing... there. Same with the exploration. You can find some coins or stat shards, I guess. There's nothing special or new on offer here, it's a very nicely painted shell that holds no delicious insides.

...weird metaphors i know
I understand what you mean, but I liked the whimsical fluff. It was lacking in meat, sure, but sometimes you just gotta have some fairyfloss. ^.^
