Here's my thing with Prince of Persia: The original was actually one of the first games, and particularly PC-games, I had ever played. That was as far back as DOS, when you had to type in the command-prompt, you know. - I even saw the game in black and white on someone else's PC, but mine was in color and it was quite impressive. It was even a bit scary to me as a kid, with the traps and the dudes coming after you with blades. - But I thought it was cool. I even played 'Prince of Persia 3D' for a while, which went off what games like "Tomb Raider" were doing, but it didn't reach the same kind of level and wasn't received well. - It wasn't until of course "Sands of Time" that it became what that game wanted to be and became much bigger. Though, while I thought it was pretty awesome, with how fluid it was and all its visuals and features, I also felt it was a bit cartoonish or something. I felt the original 2D one was a little grittier. But I suppose "Two Thrones" and "Warrior Within" became a little darker. And at the point when we had a bunch of "Assassin's Creed" games, I was actually thinking that they should probably do a new "Prince of Persia" with that engine, which they actually ended up doing with "Forgotten Sands", but sadly it was a bit of a similar case to the 3D-game and not well-received. Before that, however, we of course had that cell-shaded style sort of reboot, which... I didn't like the style of at first. I didn't understand why they went with that and I also didn't care much for the style of gameplay, which I think a lot of people felt as well. - However, in hindsight I think it's actually a good thing that they did that, because they just let a bunch of creatives do their take on the IP and at least it was taking a risk to make something new and refreshing. - I wasn't against it completely, but again, I wanted more grit and had something more like "Forgotten Sands" in mind, which they should have nailed cause I do think it's the right direction for the mainline games. That said, I feel similar about "The Lost Crown". In that, the first impression was kind of like "tf is this??" in terms of the overall style and gameplay (and the reveal-trailer's music just made it feel like they were trying to be trendy or something), although it did look like it could probably just be a good game. - So I'm actually glad that they did this, because they once again let some creative people put their spin on the IP and create a unique game, and I have to give credit to the executives for just greenlighting a videogameass videogame (like the Rayman-games, and the "Gods & Monsters" game, and so on), which Ubisoft as a whole just should be making. - Now people also can't complain that "Ubisoft always makes the same", cause that's just not true. And while I'm still not big on the style (while it does look good), if the gameplay is good, I'm up for it. And also, it's a spin-off, so that's a good way to basically work around it if they decide to make a more "traditional" third-person adventure type game again. - The remaster of "Sands of Time" first, I suppose...

as the one for who 2003 2004 2005 Sands of Time trilogy is culturally one of the most important and cherishly beloved games of all experienced(it's months before i had my first pc in primary school and watching Warrior Within gameplay in friends home and acrobatics and animations, Prince look, world look, made me fall in love with it and i planned on having this game once i ll get my pc). The vibe of it, the flow, the music, the animations, chracters, dialogues, lines, voices, stories -they imbued in me and part of my sensations - and it's imossible to have games that feel like that in modern times, especially similar Prince of Persia. And because of all that - that 2d version of Prince of Persia - is a crime, i hate and not even gonna watch video if it's good. it's not TRUE Prince of Persia of 00s. "time is running low, you ready?" "i know what you've seen what you think you've seen in the timeline" "objects once familiar and comforting, now fill me with uncertainty and dread. What has happened here?"

After experiencing the heart-pounding stealth and escape portions of Metroid Dread, a well as the excellent combat and platforming of The Lost Crown, I think that a metroidvania entry in the Assassin's Creed franchise would be an excellent next step. It was clear to see the influence that Dread had on The Lost Crown. I would love to see those innovations and inspirations evolved even further. I'm currently midway through TLC, and it continues to simultaneously challenge, frustrate, and reward. (I've only found one platforming puzzle so far that is truly out of reach - but plan to try it on an easier setting soon, lol.) 4.5/5 ☆'s

From the first trailer, I thought this looked to capture aspects of all the things I loved about it. It's awesome they put out a demo too. Played for a bit last night but had to put the kids to bed before I got too into it lol looking forward to trying it some more and playing the full game soon!

This game has that nostalgic look to it for some reason. As someone who's played the playstation 2 era POP games, I wasn't sure about this one, but the 2D format is selling it for me. Also as a history nerd, another piece of media referencing the Kushan empire and other central asian ones is awesome, the last time I saw someone pulling from that region and culture was while reading Berserk

Downloaded Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown Demo last night while at work via remotely (still think that’s so cool to be able to do)turned it on as soon as I got home from work and it’s AMAZING! Highly, highly recommend. It’s everything that blasphemous 2 just better graphics, way better performance. Speaking of Performance, Series X is rock solid. Runs at native 4k/120hz. DF did a performance video yesterday on it. I don’t think the Demo runs at 4k/120hz tho. Judging by my LGC1 video link secret menu settings it’s looks to be running at 3840x2169 at 66.6666 hz with no in game option to switch video modes. The only thing I have negative to say is the lack of HDR implementation. Luckily the C1 is amazing at displaying SDR content but still. All in all, I love it and if you like side scrolling metroidvania type games you will love this.

It drives me absolutely nuts that i spend $1200-$1400 on a top notch gaming pc, extra storage space, extra RAM, a nice chair, a nice sounding sound bar, a great monitor and video game companies want to produce a game that looks like it from the 90s, but wait it's called "art". I call it safe and lazy. No chance of any bugs if they aren't trying to do anything ambitious 🙄 Did they only spend, what, 4 weeks from start to finish on this piece of trash?

Lore stuff and character design aside this game feels like a celebration of the series in all its forms. You got the challenging platforming of the original, the more hack 'n slash nature of Warrior Within, the time manipulation of Sands of Time, even the concept of not being the Prince but someone who has to protect/rescue the Prince was the original concept for Assassin's Creed! Loved the demo, I'll probably buy the game once I finish some I have in my backlog

Just played about an hour of the demo and I had to force myself to put it down. Loving it. Controls are intuitive and super responsive. Platforming and combat feel really natural but the challenge is definitely there. I'm POP1 years old. Of all the games from my childhood, that's the one that stuck with me most. Lost Crown brings me right back to when I spent hours upon hours jumping booby traps. Was really hoping this would suck because I was determined to buy no games in January. But here we are. Edit: finished the way too short demo and I just want more.

I had no idea about this franchise or game, but I decided to pre-order it just like I do many others. This one I actually like it’s kind of like a beat em up with some puzzles, nothing that I need to actually do research on in order to pass. I’ve only been playing the game 45 minutes and I really like it so far. I have a huge backlog but I at least try to play some of the games when I get them to see if it’s something I’m even interested in, this one I like a lot. Graphics are good. The fighting is not super hard or super easy. It’s a little in the middle the boss on a horse that’s what I’m calling him anyway took me six or seven times to finally figure out how to beat him, but I did. I like these type of games they are easy to get into and learn. So glad I tried it and didn’t put it on my backlog ,first person shooters ,I enjoy. I just have a tendency of getting motion, sickness and a giant headache from most of them. I was pleasantly surprised with this game.
