Evolution of Prince of Persia Games w/ Facts 1989-2022

[@Chiave97]

Warrior within was the darkest one. The metal ost, the blood, dismemberment, color palette, the feeling of complete loneliness (no companions or voices inside your head), the anxiety of being followed by the dahaka... My favorite game from the trilogy.

[@dandelionsdontfly6422]

[@RAMBO14001]

Regardless of the public image of Prince of Persia 2008, this game was like walking through an animated piece of Art for me; its an unfathomable experience that can only be realized by actually playing the game. The world designing made it feel like an rectangular geometry where you always get back to the center of it. The feeling of an isolated utopia or distopia (based on the story progressing) where your only companion is a beautiful lady, a genuinely fitting character, alot of chemistry, with the air romantic, and interactions based on teasing and immersing dialogues... Fantastic follow-up story, art design, sound design (loved the isolated echoing effect over everything!) and music.

[@main_stream_media_is_a_joke]

For me only the artstyle was amazing. Personally I absolutely hate hub world level design simply because I want a progression and comming back to the central hub after completing one area seems like a regression rather than a progression... especially in a story driven game like this. Not to mention the prince was a twat and sounded and mostly acted like a jersey shore douchebag. Elika was powerfull enough to literally save the prince from falling to certain death, but needed to jump on his back when climbing....wtf was that? Except for the gfx and art which were utterly beautiful, the rest of the game felt totally disjointed. They had good ideas but were not able to create a cohesive package.

[@AA-db9cb]

​@@main_stream_media_is_a_joke pretty sure they ripped off Shadow of the Colossus for PoP 2008. That said PoP 2008 was still a good game.

The love and soul they put into the prince of persia triology was unmatchable by any game .. just look at the scenes .. the soundtracks and finally the story oh my god seriously even after 100 years from now on no one can make something like that again

[@mohammadyousef1887]

Yes your totally those games where on another level

[@тюмбатюмбатюмбатёоу]

согласен,но разработчики этой трилогии уже давно скатились

[@shootnslash4804]

"Unmatchable by any game" is a huge exaggeration. A lot of developers put their heart and soul in the game they are working on. God of War series by Santa monica is also a good example, Valve too, i mean when Valve was developing Half-Life nobody belived in them and it was basically a newly formed studio with no big record to speak of making a triple A level title. And they ended up blowing everyone out of the water, Half-Life was a huge commercial and critical success, it is even considered to be one of the best games of all time by many.

The Warrior Within is my favorite of the series and is up there in my top game list. The Forgotten Sands was a hidden gem. I loved the Sands of Time Trilogy so Forgotten Sands was the closest I was getting to that on 360. I think the movie hurt the game sales because people thought it was a tie-in.

​@@DragonOfTheMortalKombat Damn, to be that wrong.

[@Dr.Fluffball]

The warrior within was definitely a different approach to the series but in my opinion it was also a brave one as me and many others like the game and even tho it’s not like sands of time it definitely gave us a new feel to the prince and made us appreciate him more as a Character

[@gaming_____pc]

And two thrones also superb

[@jaysonmunoz8342]

I used to be a huge fan of the Sands of Time trilogy back in high school, but over the years only the original one has remained as exciting as the first time I played it. Something about its level and artistic design is just of an unmatchable beauty and balance. It's the only one I can call a timeless masterpiece.

The worrier within introduced me with the first two handed combat mechanics that i fell in love with, and the story is way above everything i had ever played before !!

I am an Iranian user. With this game, I have many memories of the type of architecture of buildings and music, the arrangement of equipment that was closer to ancient Iran attracted me and made me feel like I was in the past and it was enjoyable for me. But when Assassin's Creed came and the game makers abandoned the Iranian prince and went to Assassin's Creed, I didn't even play the first parts of the Assassin's Creed game, let alone the stories they made so far. I am very upset with the Ubisoft company and I tell them that they still have a first for prince of Persia

[@ruyijingubang582]

2008 is a fantastic game, I so wish that series coud've continued, but people got mad it wasn't a slasher like the original trilogy. But the combat they had was great and intricate, like a fighting game, with combos to explore and a complex opponent to face. And don't forget the "Claw", it did wonders to the usual parkour, by adding some variety to the good old set.

I enjoyed Warrior Within and Two Thrones as well because they kept adding new amazing mechanics to the games, and 2008 was such a fun game as well. The art style was different but I enjoyed it a lot. I really loved that the platforming, puzzles and story was the main focus for it instead of combat. I just wished they kept the series going as 3d platformers instead of going 1000% in on Assassin’s Creed. But then again, I’m glad they didn’t because annual Prince of Persia games would ruin it like it did for Assassin’s Creed
