Warrior Within combat system was so amazing it had it's own trailer. It's a shame Ubisoft never explored more the idea, imagine an AC with this system. It looks cool, makes you feel like a badass, lets you interact with the environment and the enemies like no other combat system at that time, and let you choose how to proceed during those fights. The simple action of just grabing an enemy gives you like six different outcomes depending on you having or not a secondary weapon and how you want to proceed in the fight.

[@A.A.L.V.L]

The fact that only ww has that combat system makes it so unique and marked within Ubisoft. At this point I can't imagine an AC having a combat system that barely manages to keep up with Warrior Within 😂

[@ag47447]

From crowmaster to Dahaka, the journey was marvellous

[@lostgen36]

Ahh my favorite Prince Of Persia game, I wish they would remake this epic game someday.

[@DesignDelve]

One day brother. Hopefully after the SoT remake 🤞

[@dellebelphine-moralez3510]

Hopefully, they have Yuri stay for the whole thing this time (why he didn’t voice this edgier Prince, I won’t know but I’m sure he’s played brooding characters before so him voicing the Prince in his darker moments still would’ve worked and also I kinda would’ve imagined him sounding more like Sasuke eventually)

[@brokemono]

​@@dellebelphine-moralez3510He can try and I think he even was auditioning for it but they wanted prince to sound deeper and older. I think if they remake princeWW and make him 27 years old or something then it's probably best for Robin to do it, otherwise if they make him younger then go for Yuri. T2T because of people stupidly asking back for it made the prince sound weird now.😂 For changes like that, it's best to just swallow the pain and look forward to other stuff.

[@dellebelphine-moralez3510]

@@brokemono he did sound weird in The Two Thrones and actually you’re right, The Prince having a lower voice plus Robin voicing him onwards would’ve worked as well. Or hell, because the Prince was talking to his more darker persona, would’ve been perfect to have that disembodied voice sound like Warrior Within Prince (Robin)

Subbed. WW is my favorite Prince of Persia. It was the first one I played, and I was blown away by every part of it. Such a memorable game. I played sands of time after this, and was even a bit disappointed by how cartoonish and last-gen it looked and felt. The combat specifically, after playing WW is a letdown. Especially for the fact that people praise sands of time so much. It is still a master piece in my opinion, but Warrior Within have a special place in my heart.

[@DesignDelve]

I have the same opinions on WW boss. What are you thoughts of TTT?

[@13thxenos]

​@@DesignDelve Wow you answered fast. While I quite enjoy receiving comment in youtube from the person who made the video, I hope your channel grow so much that you don't have time to do such a thing. This channel deserves a lot more subs. I enjoyed TTT, but it is my least favorite of the trilogy. I expected the combat to be better, after all, they had a ready-made template in WW to improve upon. But it was a disappointment IMO. I wasn't that fond of the enemies either. Farah was a lot better, and I agree with you that the character development was a lot better in TTT ( I just watched your third video) but the mysterious architecture of the island of time was missing, and the rush of getting a more powerful sword was not there. The only part I truly find amazing is the Dark Prince, especially the chain and its new mechanics. Cutting enemies in half with the chain was glorious when I first played this. Granted, I was a kid who shouldn't have played M-rated games. Another thing that disappointed me was the opening of this game. I remember trying hard to get the water sword as to not kill the empress but in 5 minutes of the third game they kill her off anyway. Shame. WW is something else. I still remember how hard I tried running away when Dhahaka showed up, like it would kill me instead of the Prince if it reached me.

[@DesignDelve]

I’m with you bud, our opinions line up a lot in regards to the series 👌 also thanks for the comment on how you want my channel to grow :) means a lot boss thank you!

[@Mr440c]

​@@13thxenosKaileena's quick death in TTT is a big turd on the players heads also because we both just changed our fates in WW and Prince was coming back to Babylon like a boss with the fucking Empress of time by his side no less. The way she went down was also ridiculous. TTT was developed for people who never played WW it feels like and would only be old enough to play it AFTER they've experienced TTT as a prequel which would make a lot of sense to me.

[@Alex-ng6hc]

There was so much cut content from this game that would have made it even more interesting than it already was. Even so, I will defend Warrior Within as the best Prince of Persia game to date

I've actually been playing this game in anticipation of this video. One of the best games ever made. I wish assassins creed had a combo system like this. Protip: rename the video files with "load" or "pow" in the title, it reduces the loading times to virtually nothing.

[@DesignDelve]

i completely agree the combo system was so fluid.. i loved it! Can't wait to make my Two Thrones episode!

[@bassdrummer9849]

Great analysis mate!👍 Would like to add the following, for those who have a problem with the soundtrack/ambient music in this game; its melancholic, moody and heavy because it's meant to reflect the Prince State of mind and live in the storyline. At that moment he's being chased by the Dahaka for FREAKING SEVEN YEARS. Be honest. If that won't make you paranoid, moody and frightened; I don't know what will. The quest to stop the initial creation of the Sands of Time is his last hope to change his fate. A mission to avoid death by the hands of a terrifying creature. I think it's brilliant the way the music compliments the game. Nice mix of Arabian ambient and eastern influenced metal.

[@ole8919]

Damn I didn't know the devs had time constraints. Explains why it felt a bit repetitive at times. But nonetheless it is my favorite PoP game of em all. I hope that if they decide to remake the game again, they give it a bit more care and attention. Anyway, great video m8, very entertaining

Best game of the series with its story and gameplay. I think so too, I was really ahead of its time.

[@dellebelphine-moralez3510]

I always thought Warrior Within did more justice for The Prince and made him even cooler. Because I know in Sands Of Time he’s supposed to similar to Aladdin, highly acrobatic and mischievous and always jumping into adventure without fear. I feel like the edgier, more afraid, and even darker persona of The Prince in Warrior Within was a breath of fresh air.

Unbelievable quality in your content mate, keep it up

[@DesignDelve]

Cheers boss this means a lot :) hope you enjoy it!

[@mitchellhayward6492]

I feel like there was 1 wasted opportunity when it came to using cranks and levers to activate or move something in order to progress, and how it could have worked with the past/present timeline mechanics. 1 example is when the Prince goes to the library for the first time, and on a balcony above there are 2 bookcases that the Prince needs to pull out from their slots inside the wall, in order to climb them and progress. Later in the game, you return as the sand-wraith, and the bookcases are where you left them, even though this visit chronologically happens *before* the first visit. It would have been really interesting if certain puzzle sections in the game were chronologically already completed the first time you passed through that area. You're taking this path, not thinking twice about it, and progress. But you return later, at a point in time when a puzzle in the area had not yet been completed, and the path is no longer there, and the same way you want to go is no longer accessible. You recognise that your surroundings are different to how you remember, which hints at what you need to do to progress, if you can remember how certain parts of the "scenery" were before. You know that you can and have to re-create the path you took last time to progress this time, because now you are realising that this path you have taken before is a path that you have to create now.

[@A.A.L.V.L]

That would have really hindered and cut off the flow of the story moving forward, and if you know a little bit about cinematography, things like that are inexcusable. Although I also understand that it would have enriched the mechanics, but little by little, it's not worth it.

this ia honestly mt favourite game of the original trilogy. I mean there's so much depth to the story and as soon and the prince becomes sand wraith, that's when the things really start to get going I think. becoming the things the Dahaka killed. everything just felt way too easy killing Kaileena in the past. I'm glad this game has 2 different endings too. the ending when you Dahaka... like wow! I cab't believe they did that ending!

It’s cool that the most difficult ending is the canon one!

@@DesignDelve for sure and the fact you have to get all life upgrades and the water sword too. I like how areas are often revisited multiple times instead of all just being straightforward like in sands of time and the two thrones. Gives them more exploration.

You're wrong about the cranks. the puzzle isn't the crank itself, the puzzle is how to get to (parkour) to that crank location. Those movement puzzles of figuring out how to jump to those locations were really really good. In SoT they used more wall-buttons than cranks, and perosnally a crank sounds way more realistic whereas a button feels more digital

Best game in the series in my opinion. Sure it didn't have the puzzles from the first game but it just felt like a complete game to me. The world building felt real and you really felt that everything was connected. Music and combat were on point and the difficulty was just right for a casual playthrough. No deaths or traps felt really cheap or frustrating. One of the best games I've played from that generation. Sure it's not a masterpiece but that's the issue I have with games today, they all try too hard to be AAA when all we really want from a game is solid gameplay.

The environment, music, story and everything else were decent. Dark prince and Chariot missions are really nice unique additions. However, when I played Warrior within for the first time back then in 2019, it completely obliterated SoT and T2T in all aspects according to me. The story, semilinear gameplay, unexpected twists, edgy environment, engaging gore combat, metal music, etc. Everything was perfectly aligning with my taste. Hence warrior within is my favorite but T2T is also a pretty decent game though.

I can see where you’re coming from bro WW just hits differently 👌 are you excited for the remake of SoT?

[@SreeramReddyB]

The lack of Arabian nights theme in Warrior Within can be justified- because Prince goes on a mission to a different place(island) only to save his life - a different island which is more mysterious, where he faces Kaileena & Dahaka - so the culture, music can all be shown differently. It justifies.

@@DesignDelve Sorry for the extremely late reply. I'm actually excited for the remake but just hoping that they won't change it very drastically. Of course, the graphics should be better but I don't want them to fiddle with the environment and art aspect of SoT too much. That's that game's primary strength. Also, a warrior within remake would be better as long as they preserve the original theme.

i think it's incredible how goddamn short the review is, for how well written it also is.

[@DesignDelve]

This means a lot to me thank you :) hope you enjoyed it, I literally just finish the script for my Two Thrones video so I hope you can stick around to see that episode too :) thanks again boss

[@LyrisTheCat]

@@DesignDelve I actually didn't knew the game was created in just a year, back in that time it was still possible to create great looking games in short times, but Ubisoft wanting to quickly milk the franchise surely took its damage in the dev side. I just hope the remake of 1 does well for the new dev team grab some of the older dev team to finally create their full vision for the second.

[@DesignDelve]

Completely agree :) there are more interesting development constraints in the two thrones that I can’t wait to cover! Recording the voice over today actually 👀

I wish the mask didnt stop draining health when you where low, I saw that it did, and my feel of urgency dissapeared, If I get hit I just rewind with my almost infinite sand. I think the bit of frustration for dying because of the mask is a good trade. Just like with dark prince in Two Thrones.

[@ignaciodavidvillarrealprie8387]

Love your videos I’m subscribing, hoping the analysis of prince of Persia the two thrones

[@DesignDelve]

Thanks for the sub boss :) currently working on the two thrones episode as we speak!

[@Andresdha]

After watching this video I had to plug in my original Xbox and start a new game ffs this game is good

[@DesignDelve]

It is incredible 👌

[@dnaseb9214]

The BEST Prince of Persia game.

[@2pakalypse]

I recommend everyone who likes this game to play the PSP version!! It’s a lot longer and has a fuck ton more puzzles It the same game as the PS2 version but between 2 areas like the main hall and gardens they have added a whole new section with puzzles upon puzzles and it makes the game super difficult and fun !! Downside is that it’s on the psp so u might have to do emulation or try to get a psp

[@DesignDelve]

Good recommendation boss! Do you honk it would make a good episode for the channel?

[@2pakalypse]

@@DesignDelve most definitely, there isn't anyone major on youtube who has covered it in debt so the opportunity is there my man

[@anishansari3554]

So, I played this game after The Two Thrones, and I was scared to play this game, the starting was scary on the ship, as well as the combat was like over the top cinematic and powerful. I remember hyperventilating during the Dahaka's chase sequences. And the main focus of the game, Kaileena, oof, I was down bad for her boobs, goddamn. 10/10 would play again forever.

ahhh, good memories

Wonderful games

[@harsh111yt]

If you think warrior within doesn't have great puzzles than I recommend you Prince of Persia Revelations (PS2 version of WW) it has many unnecessary mindless & frustrating puzzles that'll make you uninstall the entire game, I remember one doorway puzzle was so stupid hard that I'd watch it's walkthrough on KZbin to solve it & I'm the one who never watches games walkthrough but I'd to regardless warrior within is one of the greatest game ever made it's so underrated & no doubt it holds a special place in my heart & is my favourite from Prince of Persia series

[@1theprince1]

Oh boi, kindred blad- i mean the two thrones is going to be a "step backwards in time"

[@DesignDelve]

I’m so excited to cover it.. heard a lot of different opinions on it

[@darkerm76]

Best PoP ever.

[@aishwarshukla5237]

Its weird that you didnt mention the life upgrades and how it leads to two alternate endings, the different weapons of different purposes and designs too.. This game has so much to look and admire. Anyways i hope the new remake does well in the market and people buy it so that we get a warrior within remake as well

[@DesignDelve]

It was in my script originally but I cut it out due to pacing :) whats you’re favourite game from the series?

[@aishwarshukla5237]

@@DesignDelve my favourite is definitely warrior within!

[@DesignDelve]

Why did you enjoy about warrior within boss? Compared to the others

[@aishwarshukla5237]

@@DesignDelve the awesomely complicated time travel story, better action than the others, more challenging levels than the other two.

[@DesignDelve]

Nice, what are you opinions on The Two Thrones? I know a lot of people have a negative opinion on it

[@tiagosobchenko8069]

If you find The New Order to be your cup of tea, I would recommend jumping straight to Chronicles of Riddick Assault On Dark Athena. Honestly it does everything better than The New Order except the music.

[@DesignDelve]

I’ll add them to my list broski!
