Prince of Persia were some of the least interesting games I've seen my whole life. But this platformer looks rly fun. I'd buy it, but it's a Ubisoft game and I'm not downloading "uPlay" spyware/bloatware, and I'm not gonna go out and buy some random console just to play this one title, or buy this game anywhere outside of Steam So it'll be another game I'll never play nor miss out on

[@TheCreepypro]

love me a good metroidvania I am so down with this!

[@coreymyers5321]

This game is at the top of my list of “Games to play after I finish my games I got from Christmas.”

[@illmattic024]

It’s an incredible game and has been an absolute blast to play. This is actually my very first metroidvania experience, and I’ve enjoyed the exploration, platforming, puzzles, and combat so much that I’m already looking forward to diving in to some of the other big names, like Ori, Hollow Knight, and Metroid Dread. Being new to this genre, I can honestly say it’s been one of the most challenging games I’ve ever played. Even on normal difficulty there were certain boss fights or platforming sections that took me upward of 20 tries to beat. But when you finally figure it out and get past a part you were struggling with, is incredibly satisfying. The time powers are so dope and once you start integrating them all into your fights and traversal, there is this awesome fluidity to it all that just feels really good. I’m playing on PC and fortunately have only had one noticeable bug with the start of the pirate’s side quest. I’ll be going for a full completion before moving on to my next game.

[@Paragleiber]

I had never played a Prince of Persia game before and my only previous metroidvania game had been Guacamelee. My experience with the game was kind of similar. I really enjoyed certain sections but after a while it became a bit tiring to backtrack around the huge map, even with the fast travel points. I also had to look up a guide to beat certain bosses, as I just wasn't clever enough to figure out on my own how to dodge some of their attacks, like the red orbs from the snake or the move of the ship guy that covers the whole ground for a long time. People have been quite critical in recent times of characters giving hints without being asked (like in God of War) and it should definitely be an optional thing but in these boss fights I wouldn't have minded Sargon saying "maybe I should use this ability" after being hit by a certain boss move again and again.

[@coreymyers5321]

I hope this game does well, despite one Ubisoft executive practically destroying customer’s trust.

[@calenbarnes9597]

This game looks terrific

[@RanCossack]

Prince of Persia definitely feels like the kind of game I want to dive into at some point. I've always been a fan of a good Metroidvania, and from what I've seen of this one, it certainly feels like it'd scratch that particular gaming itch, given the opportunity. The platforming alone looks exceptionally smooth, though a little bit slippery, but as a whole not too bad. The combat has always felt exciting to watch, and I can only imagine feels way better to actually play. The art style is very nice, even if the "semi-animated profile images" thing feels a smidge. . . Stiff looking, but I don't mind it too much. All in all, it's a very interesting looking game, that I'll most certainly have to snag down the line. Great video as always, Jirard. Keep up the great work my dude.

[@goopbloop8823]

Maybe this should be $40 instead of $50. Not to discount its quality but $40 seems to be the sweet spot for a game like this. Well, I know it won't flop like Beyond Good & Evil did.

Yeah, $10 is what makes people go bankrupt.

The gameplay does look very satisfying to perform. Might have to give the game a try!

[@dashalpha]

It is, especially each of the new moves you get which are more varied than most metroidvanias so it feels fresh. Has some crazy challenges and challenging platforming sections but once you get the hang of it, most aren't that bad after awhile of trying. There's a demo too in case you want to try before purchasing.

[@mrhollywoo77]

Currently playing prince of Persia after having just beat Metroid dread. It felt more rewording exploring Metroid. Lost crown feels so easy to get lots trying to figure out where to go next

[@paulooliveiracastro]

Yeah, Dread is a linear game with non-linear optional exploration parts. Not exactly my favorite type of Metroidvania.

[@desfile21]

[@metalloy]

Hey Jirard...I had the SAME bug, but at the Pirate Side Quest... I tried to accept the side quest multiple times. Even changing skins and amulets, and the game would not let me move Sargon. I'm so frustrated, I haven't played it back again since.

[@juggi301]

[@TheGodofweak]

Lost Crown is such a surprise, it really reminds me of Ori will of the wisps, since it also uses the Hollow Knight charm mechanic, but lost crown has a greater emphasis on combat and I gotta say the boss fights in this game are incredible. I'm loving the trend in recent metroidvanias of tougher bosses that are fun to chip away at until you "get it". Metroid Dread also had this kind of boss design philosophy and it feels great mastering these bosses. The only thing I'll say is that its not quite as smooth or movement isn't as tight or finessed as Dread or Will of the Wisps, but is closer to Hollow knight in terms of traversal -which isn't bad at all, I mostly say this so you reader, know what you'd be getting into. This games got some awesome and tough platforming puzzles, its a meaty MV with rewarding deep combat, and its a gem that came out of nowhere.

[@tl2532]

[@chirone00]

[@draakisback]

I beat this game, I had a good time and I do agree that the game is slightly off from being as good as the Ori titles or something like Metroid Dread. There are times where the story feels extremely disjointed because of the nature of the game. I remember when I encountered some of the NPCs they said things that didn't really make sense in the context because I had accidently sequence breaked the game a few times. I like the upgrades, I like the movement and the combat. The art and sound direction are top-notch and the presentation is really good too. The story I can take or leave, I don't really play metroidvanias for a narrative but if it has a good narrative then that's just icing on the cake. I do like metroidvanias that have really strong environmental storytelling and world building however. Hollow knight, Metroid dread, the Ori games, etc all of them have really solid world building. Finally, the progression in this game felt a little weird. I hated running into a chest only to find some useless item, I didn't use the mind things that much and I don't really like having skins as a in-game reward from a chest (It would have been nice if the skins were given as a reward for completing certain coins or puzzles). Also, finding a chest that just gives time crystals really deflates the feeling of reward. Anyway, it's a solid game but it's not one of the top tier metroidvanias unfortunately.

[@currenteventsenthusiast9477]

You didn’t think the opening of the game was bland? I found the game repetitive

[@gagejoseph91]

@@currenteventsenthusiast9477 It has a bit of a slow start, and the game does a poor job of guiding the player on where to go next. I lost my sense of direction countless times. But even being cynical about it, that only serves to strengthen the argument that there's just so....much. I also got turned around a lot in Hollow Knight, but it was never unfun. Once you find your footing, the sheer exploration becomes deeply engaging. Even if the story is...hard to follow, the actual gameplay experience is enjoyable. Combat is fluid and reasonably deep, weapons vastly change your play style, and there's just sooooooooooo many nooks and crannies to explore that finding all of them kept me more engaged than story progression did.
