Marking this as complete after beating the final level and seeing the end credits roll, even though this is the kind of game they want you to play continuously for elongated periods of term. I don’t really see the reason for this. Sky is basically a retreading of everything we’ve seen in Journey and Abzû, although it does reward exploration a little more, where it reminded me of Grow Home/Grow Up. The biggest issue I have is that I don’t have any idea what kind of game this is. Best I can tell, it’s a quasi-social MMO that let’s you befriend other players and explore the world together, but… why? I understand there are different seasons, and more challenges or areas are added, but there is not much else to do once you’ve seen the end, except raise your Candle points (equivalent to experience points) so you can use these points to unlock cosmetics so that you character looks slightly goofier than all the other players. On top of that, you get such a miserable little amount of the points, you will HAVE to buy some through the games in-game shop. The blight that is Freemium games and its predatory mechanics. Honestly, that alone was the reason I was willing to give this game one fucking star, baby. However, I did enjoy my time with the game and emoting around with other people, but again, nothing extraordinarily good.
