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.

Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor is an open‑world classic CRPG that lets you switch between real‑time and turn‑based combat, offering a rich fantasy setting on the continent of Antagarich. Build a party of four, choose from four races and nine base classes, then promote them through a complex hierarchy to reach one of 18 end‑game classes. The game features a compelling political storyline, memorable locations, a soundtrack, and the addictive Arcomage card mini‑game, delivering over a hundred hours of adventure for single‑player fans of deep role‑playing experiences.
