Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

98/100

Sky: Children of the Light is more than just a game; it’s an emotional journey. Developed by the creators of Journey and Flower, it carries that same poetic, non-verbal storytelling that touches the soul. The visual design is breathtaking, with vast, cloud-filled vistas and a lighting engine that is truly remarkable for a mobile device.

What makes Sky special is its focus on positive social interaction. You don't 'fight' other players; you hold hands, share light, and play music together. The sound design and orchestral score are world-class, making every flight through the clouds feel majestic. It’s a peaceful, communal experience that restores your faith in humanity. It is, quite simply, one of the most beautiful things you can experience on a screen.
