What Sky: Children of the Light is
Sky: Children of the Light is an adventure game developed by ThatGameCompany and released in 2019. It was published by NetEase Games. It is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Android, iOS and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on PhyreEngine.
The premise, in the publisher's words
In Sky, players explore a once prosperous kingdom using a cape that gives them the ability to fly. The in-game world consists of seven unique realms, each with a different theme being represented as a stage of life and a variety of areas to explore. There is also Home, a small island which serves as the world hub and the starting place when the game is opened. Throughout the world, players encounter "spirits" that allow them to unlock items in return for in-game currency, and "children of light" that give players "winged light". When a player has collected enough winged light, their cape level goes up, increasing the cape's maximum energy and allowing the player to fly farther.
How it plays
It is played from a third person perspective. Its themes are fantasy. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. Available modes: Co-operative, Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO), Multiplayer and Single player.

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel i5-6400 or AMD FX 8310, 8 GB RAM and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1030 or AMD Radeon RX 560. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 3GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
