Overview
Description

Child of Light is a hand-painted platforming role‑playing game presented like a storybook told in verse. Players guide Aurora, a young princess, through the dreamlike land of Lemuria to recover the stolen Sun, Moon, and Stars. Along the journey Aurora gathers allies, battles the Black Queen’s minions with turn‑based combat, and explores a poetic world filled with wonder and peril. The game supports both solo play and cooperative modes across multiple consoles and PC.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a story-driven open-world RPG in which you play Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter searching for his adopted daughter. It is celebrated for its mature writing, meaningful side quests, and a massive, hand-crafted world.
