Sky: Children of the Light
- No ads and nothing pay-to-win
- Gorgeous art and music
- Cross-platform play with friends
- Little challenge and no combat
- Needs an internet connection
- Candles and season passes can add up
Sky is the rare online game built around kindness. You fly through seven hand-crafted realms, solve gentle puzzles and meet strangers who might take your hand and lead you somewhere new, often without a word. It's free, has no ads, and everything for sale is cosmetic. Seasons keep adding new stories, like 2026's walk-through Van Gogh paintings. If you want combat or loot, there's very little here.
Full Sky: Children of the Light review
Diablo Immortal
- Excellent touch controls and combat feel
- Lots of free story content
- Plays with friends on PC
- Endgame power is heavily tied to spending
- Rated 18+ on the App Store
- Privacy label lists broad tracking
Diablo Immortal nails the core Diablo feeling on a touchscreen: smash demons, watch loot pour out, repeat. Ten classes, including 2026's Warlock, plus a full campaign, dungeons, raids and PvP keep you busy, and you can play alongside friends on PC. The story is fine for free players, but endgame power leans on Legendary Gems that are expensive to upgrade. Enjoy the ride and stop before the shop.
