Ubisoft's Child of Light is Free to Play on PC
In an effort to help gamers stay inside, Ubisoft’s Child of Light is free to download and keep on PC from March 24 to March 28.
Many gamers are used to staying in and self-isolating. But the option to go outside and have fun and do whatever you want has usually been there. With Covid-19, however, most people are doing their best to stay inside and practice social distancing to help prevent the spread of Covid-19. And we need entertainment.
Thanks to Ubisoft, we get to experience the colorful, exciting, vivid, watercolored world of Lemuria, playing as Princess Aurora. The sidescrolling RPG by Ubisoft Montreal is charming, but not very long. Though the game originally released in 2014, it has not aged at all. Ubisoft is offering the core game for free, but not any DLCs.
Still, Child of Light is masterfully designed and it’s such a joy to explore the eerie and whimsical little world. Sure, you can chalk this up to another free game download that is on your list to play someday. But you’d be doing yourself a disservice by not adventuring through Lemuria right now.

Ubisoft is also offering free play of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint from March 26-29th. Steam has plenty of free games to download to pass the time (Drawful 2 is free right now and it’s mad fun) as does GoG.com, with 27 free games.
