NZGamerMatthew CoddApr 20168.5/10With or without a guide in hand, Shardlight weaves a tale that is well worth hearing. It’s a familiar premise, and it hits all the familiar beats of a dystopian class conflict plot, but it does it with a degree of care and nuance that sets it above the rest. It’s haunting, and at times shocking, but the reason these aspects work so well is because of the sense of humanity, hope and optimism that permeates this world.
