Light appears to stick with the bare minimum at first glance, but the slick presentation, stylized visuals and memorable music come together to create a fun and pure stealth action game.

Light is a cool idea, and has a wonderful style to it, but the gameplay choices the developers made have just made it too easy.

It’s tough to wholeheartedly recommend Light given its imperfect brevity, but if you couldn't care less about the $12.99 price tag, then by all means give it a try.

Light has great ideas but fails to use them in any meaningful way or make any lasting impression - it's like the setup to a great game that never comes. Shame.

There is certainly light in this tunnel, but it doesn't shine brightly enough to reach the end. [Oct 2014, p.81]

All in all, Light is an extremely short experience, easily beaten in just over an hour. If other levels were added, perhaps community-forged ones via the Steam Workshop, the value proposition might be better but as it is, there’s not much content here - a scant twelve levels.

Light is a good game, but it is too short and doesn't last more than an hour.

Light reaches for greatness, but ends up merely serviceable; nothing breaks or falls apart within its mechanically sound design, but nothing inspires the game to step out from the shadows of better games.

After a promising start, Light's simplistic take on stealth quickly plateaus and then abruptly stops, falling well short of its potential.
