What is Sky: Children of the Light like?

Fly hand in hand through worlds of light and solve puzzles that need several players.

You make friends in Sky by lighting your candle at another player, and if they accept, you're friends. You can also add someone with their code, as long as they've played once. Then you pick them from your friend list and the game takes you to their world, which can be finicky and sometimes means asking them to join yours instead. Giving candles to a friend unlocks emotes and, later, text chat. Each of you can decorate your own Nest and visit your friends'. Crossplay and cross-progression work across platforms.
