Like the developer's previous game, Journey, you constantly explore new places, landmarks, and things. This game's main objective is to find long-lost spirits, try to engage with their memories, and aid their way in getting back to their constellations as stars.

 

The best tip we can give to you about this game is not to worry about the repercussions and to poke around things as much as you can. Try to be as interactive as you want to be. Moreover, there is a high chance that you will not be dying anytime soon. There will be some weird mobs that you can run away or fight, but no actual PvE element as well.

 

The game has many intricate mechanics that you get to find out and explore as you get further and more intricate into the game and dive deep into the narrative.

 

Interacting with other Players:

 

 

Player Interaction is a bit different in Sky: Children of the Light as compared to other games. The developers have done a mesmerizing job in making the game extremely social but very safe at the same time.

 

There are two ways you can mainly interact with other players in the game. They are known as gestures or expressions. You can dance and wave with other players. You can also talk to them if you want to. However, there are a few steps you need to take before you can talk to them properly.

 

⦁    First, light a candle near the other players so you can see them. The players remain greyed out and un-interactable until you light the candle.

 

⦁    Secondly, you can ask to become their friend. They have a chance of accepting or declining at this point, and it is their decision.

 

⦁    Lastly, you need to immediately find a bench or a place to sit together where you can interact and then have a conversation.

 

Friend Benefits:

 

Sky: Children of Light emphasizes socialization. To further cement this, being with a friend gives you access to a few new mechanics/areas that cannot be done alone or when playing completely solo.

 

 

There are a few doors that can only be activated and accessed by two or more people. One of the primary currencies used in the game to purchase goods and items is hearts. Hearts let you unlock unique appearances, outfits, and skins.

 

You can ask your friends to gift hearts to you, or you can try finding them with candles, which takes a lot more time. Just like Journey, Sky: Children of Light can feel like a confusing game at times. It will never hurt to have a friend with you to explore with or get guidance from in these cases.

 

Understanding Currencies:

 

The developers of Sky: Children of Light do not do a very great job explaining the different currencies in the game. Since the game is primarily based on exploration, there were not many tutorial sections discussing the various currencies present in the game.

 

Candles:

 

The standard currency in the game, as per our preliminary findings, is candles. You can get candles by collecting light from red candles that are about to die out. Once you get enough light, you can get one candle. Candles are used to unlock new skills and level them up. Moreover, they are also used for accessing new areas and getting emotes as well. Candles can also be bought by real-world money and are the main way developers make money off the game.

 

Seasonal Candles:

 

Seasonal Candles are a more valuable and somewhat intricate part of Sky: Children of Light’s rapidly expanding economic system. You can get seasonal candles by completing seasonal quests, daily quests, or home spirits. You can buy special items with red spirits like capes and shoes. This currency can be bought from real-life money and is generally not so sought after as the items that can be bought with this currency are generally lackluster.

 

Hearts:

 

 

As mentioned earlier, you can easily get hearts from other players if you interact with them. You can also get hearts from the primary currency, Candles. However, that makes them quite expensive. They will take a lot of time to get in this manner if you do not want to spend any real money. If you do end up getting hearts, you can get perhaps the best wearables in the game.

 

Be very cautious with what you purchase with hearts in Sky: Children of Hearts as this currency is the hardest to get and offers the worst conversion rate. You can make a case for their justification, however, as the wearables are neat.

 

Conclusion:

 

Unlike most other RPGs, which tend to add a lot of action into their game, Sky: Children of Light takes it very slowly. This straightforward approach has led the developers to spend a lot more time polishing the game and improving every aspect of it rather than trying to cram in as many features as they can.

 

While the game does not offer as much replay value as longer MMORPGs, it perhaps offers the same amount of enjoyment in a much smaller package due to the amount of finesse, love, and polish present in the game. Due to this, Sky: Children of Light turns into a must-play, and hopefully, these tips can help you get a better gist and idea of the game.
