Professional reviews from gaming critics
We've drudged through the darkest of dungeons and dragged our glowing daughter round like a sack of spuds in order to bring you our Fall of Light Darkest Edition PS4 review. Take a look at it here.

Finally, the story, what there is of one, is confusing and muddled in its presentation so that even the opening cutscene is worth skipping.
