similar games to child of light

hortensia · 30 Nov 2015 at 16:47

hey guys, do you know any games that are a bit similar to child of light? I am a huge fan, just really really loved the graphics and its artwork, soundtrack etc. It was such a breath of fresh air. So I am looking for something that has a similar spirit - ideally a fantasy game with beautiful graphics. I haven't found anything yet despite trying to ask around. And in case this makes things easier, I am a girl (don't know if that means different things appeal to me... but let's face it it probably does). Thanks in advance!

Brothers: A tale of two sons - Can't recommend this game enough, very short but great.
Dust: an elysian tail

Not sure about a direct match but in the same ballpark, for some aspects;

Limbo is a superb puzzle platforms with a great art style and atmosphere.
Brothers: a tale of two sons, is an emotional adventure 3d platformer. Very highly regarded.

Thank all of you guys so much, I will check all of these out! And they're all PC games I'm assuming right? (Well I'll know soon enough but we are in the right section so I'm assuming yes).
I have heard of a tale of two sons, but never really checked what it was all about I guess!
Quick update, just had a look at the trailer of ori and the blind forest - it looks amazing. And I totally agree it does have some flair of child of light!! It reminds me of Miyazaki's style (who I adore), so really looking forward to trying it!!!

Ori is a masterpiece of a game.

It's so nice that for once people seem to agree

I once asked about another game and people's opinions differed so much it was impossible to chose what to play in the end, or who actually had the right of it.
