Splendid, but with a few problems

I’ve been playing this game since Season of Dreams, which was about three years ago. This game is absolutely wonderful! You make lots of new friends, the fan base isn’t toxic, the scenery is beautiful, and it’s all free! Mostly. We’ll get to that. There are so many options built into the game to interact with other friendly people, like playing instruments together, flying around and doing shenanigans, or prodding the game for glitches and shooting up into the air at supersonic speeds. It’s very fun, but sooner or later you realize that companies unfortunately have to make money in order to continue to produce free content. They really don’t push in-app purchases at you too much, but I will admit that the game is a lot more fulfilling if you spend money on it. After you’ve kind of done everything, you get into the waiting phase where your friends go inactive and you end up grinding for candles all the time. If you want any of the cool items, you have to grind consistently for about 45ish minutes a day for a couple weeks straight without missing any days. I mean, I’m cool with it, but it’s definitely not for everyone. I stick around for the wacky people you meet and the spectacular art reference tool it can be, as you can pose your lil character and dress them with a very well designed wardrobe. All in all? I’d say get it! Experience the game for yourself, then decide if you really wanna stick around. If so, see you in the clouds!

Great game!!! I haven't felt so happy playing a game :D

As I'm writing this review it's my first day of playing it. First of all it's easy and simple to play, when I first seen this game I thought it was just going to be a game where you learn and watch. I was really wrong, this game is very calm, fun, and you can make friends! This is the first time I've rated a game 5 stars and I personally think that this is one of the best games I had. I met this one person on here and they were really nice and helped me throughout the game, (yes this is my first day playing) people in here seem really nice and I'm happy that you made this game for people to enjoy. The only downside to this game in MY opinion is, actually NOTHING this game is just so great! Each time I make a review I just write a bit, but for this I can write soooo much about it even tho I've only played for less than an hour. I suggest you to try it (who evers reading this) even if you don't think you'll like it. Just give it a chance and this might turn into one of your favorite games out there. One of my favorite things about this game is that it gives us notifications about when our friend is online instead of waiting, another one of my favorite things is that it's not one of those games where it just tells you what to do. You can explore on your own and the art is great! The sounds also give us a great experience for what we're doing in the game. I hope you also enjoy this game like I am!

I’ve fallen head over heels in love with this game!!

I spend a large majority of my time while online playing this game, and there are so many reasons because of this! It has beautiful graphics, runs smoother than butter (most of the time) and the players are the nicest you can found out there! I have almost no issues with this game, other than the prices. I’ve spent a lot, and I not kid you, a LOT of money on this game. I don’t mind spending on it because I adore it, but maybe drop the prices slightly? Because, I mean I know I get 115 candles with the beta cape, but 30 bucks is semi expensive! A odd suggestion I would like to make is for a new cape if you have anymore upcoming seasons planned. I know you’ve worked on Journey, and though I haven’t played it (yet) it looks fantastic! But a thing that caught my eye is the travelers robe. I love how it covers their hands, and I know that the basic stance in Sky covers your hands too, but when you walk/run/slide, it just ruins the effect. Maybe have one of the spirits for the next season have a cape that covers your entire body? I mean, you already went the extra mile this season giving us players what we have been wanting; an invisible cape (well, it’s a scarf, but when I wear it I forget that’s it’s actually a cape and that I’m not capeless!) I just think this would be a cool idea to take to consideration! Thanks for taking time to read my review, and keep up your amazing work!

Ethereal game

I used to play this game on occasion when I was 14 (around the launch of the game). I didn’t get the meaning and simply had fun playing with my friends while figuring out the puzzles, doing silly emotes, playing the hide and seek game, and ect. We laughed on continuous nights as we tried to get through the final stage of the game together and at least get all the stars before we eventually see “the light”. We unfortunately stopped playing together after a year or so. As we slowly fell out, I seemed to be the only one interested to play Sky in the seasonal events. Eventually, I stopped playing because I didn’t have enough spare time. I am now 18 and heard a familiar melody on social media. I experienced a eureka. I searched the soundtrack for this game immediately. I reminisced the moments we shared in the game while listening. 4 years ago I understood nothing of the game’s concept, however now I can correlate the translation from this game to the theory of life. It’s truly a replicate of how people feel, love, and see while disguising itself as something so simple. It teaches u that you will start a journey on your own, while encountering people and new scenarios. They then show you about their experiences, lessons, and dreams. So that you could have aspirations of your own. We all rise and fall, and when we reach the end, it can be daunting. Yet will be worth it for a memorable time. Truly, a 10/10 game for me.

It Can’t Even Be Explained

Sky was one of my first games I had ever gotten when I got a phone, watching the preview of it just blew my mind away, I thought that I absolutely had to get this game. When playing it I explored each region very thoroughly with much love for the animals and the quests taken along with it. I met friends and loved chatting with them, getting up early just to see the beautiful scenery in the game and talk with friends. I waited forever until finally trying to finish the game because I was scared of the depths, but when I finally persuaded myself into finishing it, I cried. I played the game for many years and made many friends along the way, never getting bored of playing or just exploring the areas, I even remembered staying up all night for the release of a new region to explore in. I can’t even explain how much fun I had playing this game and I was just so impressed by the development and progress of the game overtime…But then I lost all my progress when getting a new phone, and ever since I haven’t played. I was scared of the new updates and trying to grind my progress back up, and still today I haven’t played yet I know it just won’t be the same as beforehand. I just want to thank you greatly for making this game and making me overjoyed whilst playing it, this game really can’t be explained on how it can make a person feel. Thank you, and happy 5th anniversary.

YOᑌ ᗯOᑎT ᖇᗴᘜᖇᗴT İT :)

I’ve had this game for about 3 years. When my friend introduced it to me, I immediately fell in LOVE. It seemed boring at first because the first quest took a while, but after I got settled in I found myself stuck in my room playing this for hours. About 5 months later, it started to get repetitive and took up 𝕊𝕆 much storage so I finally deleted it. A year later I had almost forgotten about it when the same friend mentioned it and i suddenly remembered my consistent, dedicated love for this game. After a few days I did download it and was so sad that I had to start all over again with all the quests and the nooby skin. It was so worth it though. This game is SO RELAXING and has recently transferred to PC as well so there’s alot more multiplayers. The constant playing has me leveled up once again! There’s a lot of interactive events as well. Once a year, there is a virtual concert. Yes, you heard me right. You get an interactive chance to go to the Aurora concert and Aurora is a real singer. It is a multiplayer experience so you can also invite friends. I highly recommend watching a beginners guide video or asking a friend who already has it for help with the game because it can get confusing. I really hope u check this out. It’s so worth it, it’s my favorite app ever. Don’t make the same mistake and delete it like I did if you do have it. 𝕋𝕪𝕤𝕞 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕕𝕚𝕟𝕘

😢😩😰🙁😒😥

I got this game and it was the first game I ever had on my iPad and then I started getting more games but this is the first game I ever had. Sorry if this is an ongoing sentence and there’s barely any periods. Anyway so I was playing it and I was really having fun when I first got it and then I leveled up I had fun I got spirits and everything and then I got to the eye of Eden and so I went through and it said you will not be able to go home once you enter and I was like OK so I went through because I never went through the Eye of Eden before. So when I went through him I faced a lot of monsters and I went to the end and it said that like restore the people that were lost or something and I was doing that I got to the end and it said you’re being re born And I was like OK I’ll probably just lose the portals and stuff and I didn’t expect it to take everything from me I kept my hairs and I kept my keeps pants instruments and everything but my levels went all the way back to one I was so sad I literally had a meltdown it took me three freaking years three years people three years to get those levels and I was only at level SEVEN! THREEEEEE YESRS PEOPLE!years you can get this game if you want I’m not gonna judge you but I’m just giving you a warning when you go. When you go through the eye of Eden be warrant you will lose all your levels you will keep everything that you have every portal that you unlocked but your levels will drop!

Absolutely beautiful, unfortunately boring and stale after initial playthrough. tedious grinding

This game is stunning in both visuals and audio, and is genuinely moving on your first playthrough of the main content. Made me sob. There was clearly so much genuinely love and passion put into this. However, once you get past that, you begin to quickly realize that this game is a bit of a grind-fest. Collecting candles is not fun. It’s honestly the most time consuming and tedious “daily” mechanic that I have seen in any game, period. hell, people in the community literally pay other people to do it for them. It’s that annoying. And it’s required to get cosmetics unless you wanna shill out real money. And don’t even get me started on Eden candles, event candles, or hearts. So many event cosmetics require hours of grinding, and some are entirely locked behind real money. This would not be a problem if it weren’t for the fact that once you’ve finished all the main content, getting cool cosmetics to wear while interacting with other players or to put in your little home or whatever, etc, is basically the *only thing to do.* Yes, sometimes new events will have new quests and stuff, but once it’s done it’s done. I ended up uninstalling this game, even though I would in general say I like it. It can be fun to talk with people or play it on call with friends but other than that… yeah. Not the best. I still redownload and pick it back up from time to time, though.
