20 Video Games Of This Generation You May Have Missed
14. Child Of Light (2014)

Stories with butt-kicking princesses are sorely lacking nowadays and not many of them come as charming as Child of Light.
The game is a side-scroller with a turn based battle system that harkens to JRPGs of old, and for this reason it may not appeal to everyone.
For those interested, expect a game that is thematically structured like a fairy tale with the presence of fantastical elements, familiar tropes of wicked mothers and sisters, whimsical music, poetic dialogue, and art that looks straight out of a children's fiction book.
If anything, this game is a break from the available shooters, post-apocalypse narratives, bombastic settings, and emo themes found in the triple AAA market.
