People seem to forget Sands of Time isn't Prince of Persia. Lost Crown represents what PoP actually is at its heart. And the Sands of Time trilogy also represents a 3D take on ITS 2D ORIGIN. People must be too young to know Prince of Persia is a 2D sidescroller. And whoever saying MetroidVania isn't popular......huh? Every Resident Evil Game up to a point is a MetroidVania. Just switch a double jump power with......BOLTCUTTERS. Both serve the same purpose of backtracking to past areas with NEW TOOLS. Newest God of Wars also MetroidVania in part. Control is a MetroidVania. People don't realize MetroidVanias have long ago graduated beyond 2D sidescrollers and are the foundation for many 3D action games.

[@SkandiTV]

I don't care what anyone says, Warrior Within is not only my favorite Prince of Persia game but Ubisoft game overall. Yeah the story is dark and brooding, zero Arabian nights vibes, and it's peak early 2000's edge, but the gameplay still holds up perfectly and the soundtrack by Stuart Chatwood (who went on to compose music for Darkest Dungeon!) is glorious, all bangers. People often argue which Assassin's Creed game has Ubisoft's best combat or parkour, but to be honest, that franchise has never come close to how fun and fluid Warrior Within feels to play. Now if you'll excuse me, it's time for my yearly replay of this masterpiece.

[@janosd4nuke]

Whut? Stuart Chatwood in Darkest Dungeon? *madly reprioritizes backlog like if the MF-in' Dahaka is chasing after him* "Straight out of line, like I need further reason" Just to also also shout out Godsmack in the convo. And yeah, while Warrior Within has very different tone to the classic PoP vibes, it was the perfect darkest hour Empire Strikes Back for the Sands of Time trilogy and makes tonal sense that way. Tried AC, 2 and Brotherhood, always dropped them around the 1 hour mark then never looked at the series again. Assassin Creed is where you murder Prince of Persia, take out the fun bits and stuff the corps with the boring aspects of GTA LOL.

[@Sleeepy23]

I've been hearing people say that wall jumping and parkour in general in the Sands of Time trilogy (SoT, WW, TT) is janky and too hard. Idk what they mean because to me it feels fluid and easy.

I still replay Sands Of Time at least once every few years. The writing and tone are just fantastic, and while combat got deeper in the sequels, I actually prefer the first game's clever use of the Dagger of Time to "finish" opponents, as it added a tactical timing element that Warrior Within and Two Thrones unfortunately did away with. The game as a whole still holds up perfectly as a standalone story, too. Lost Crown looks a lot like the Strider reboot in 2014, which is woefully underrated among Metroidvanias and 2.5D games in general. I'm excited to see how it turns out, though I'll try the demo before I decide on buying the full game.

It's crazy to read the comments and realize that there's a generation that doesn't even realize that the Sands of Time trilogy is also a reboot of the series from the 80s. It also is weird to hear someone recommend the PS3 version, as someone who owns it myself, it's usually considered one of the lesser ports for all three games. Anyway, I got high hopes for The Lost Crown. The series has been in retirement for a while, but hearing that the Rayman team is working on it (if you haven't played Rayman Origins or Legends it shouldn't be slept on) and my newfound appreciation for the Metroidvania/search-action genre has me incredibly hyped to see them come back, even finally getting to old ideas (playing as the Prince's bodyguard rather than the Prince himself was an early concept that eventually led to Assassin's Creed)

Prince of Persia Sands of Time Trilogy is one of my favorite series of video games (my favorite game in the series is TT, even though I started with SoT), but what made me want to play this series when it came out, was the original Prince of Persia (1989), that I feel deserved a mention in this video. Despite the original being only a 2D Platformer with a dueling mechanic for combat, not a metroidvania, when I saw the reveal of The Lost Crown I took it imediatelly as a nod to the original, and loved the decision to make this game a metroidvania. I feel it was a great decision, and even not messing with the story that we already know was great too, because they would get shred to pieces and accused of destroying the Prince we know. But the backlash I see against Lost Crown, because it is a 2.5D game (some people calling it a mobile game, as if all games have to be 3D and boast ridiculous graphics) and not following the story of the Prince we know, saddens me. The only way people will turn to this game's side is if only it's a masterpiece, being only good will not suffice.

[@Zoogi.e]

I personally think it’ll be fine if it’s just good. You shouldn’t be too concerned by the crowd that calls it a mobile game. They’re not gonna buy it even if it’s a masterpiece (nor do they know what they’re talking about, as, like you said, not all games are 3D with stellar graphics).

Regarding the combat in Warrior Within, yes, it has a block ability. It doesn’t make it Assassin’s Creed. It’s up to you if you just want to stand there and block all day or if you want to be aggressive and proactive. The team gave you a lot of new moves that weren’t present in the first game, specifically to make the combat more interesting and engaging. If you just stand there and block, instead of actually using the game’s mechanics, just because the first boss required you to block from time to time, thats on you. Basically it’s a skill issue. Oh and you can’t really do combat like in Assassin’s Creed, because most enemies have a way around your block, either with unblockable attacks or by tripping you and punishing you when you’re down.

Nice review. You said you'd do a review of the one with Elika in it as well, but never did. Hope you do. But still, nice review.

[@gagewaddell3441]

Hey man, where's the rest of the Sly retrospectives? The community needs that stuff! All 17 of us. 😆

[@hristoskof1]

The gameplay footage you've shown for Worior Within is sub-par at best! You've skipped over the best combos ever!

[@hyperxborson3973]

Thanks for making this video

[@affanalam6123]

Two Thrones was the first game that I ever played and it instantly made me fell in love with video games. I hope they remake the original games especially warrior within.

[@KaryonTheirStory]

I must’ve played all 3 games at least 20 times to the point where I started to speedrun them before I knew that was an actual thing

[@softcrunchytaco]

What about the original Prince of Persia game from 1989? I played that on the Sega CD!

[@Mintcar923]

Perplexing the gamers amnesia pre Sands of Time🤔 I have the ps3 remake tho not to mention the OG is an Easter egg on ps2 Sands at least

[@abysswalker804]

My brother was addicted to these games. Especially Warrior Within. He also really liked the Reboot that stepped away from this main character. I havnt started the video so I don't know if Matty mentions it yet.

[@MrLoowiz]

Funny, most people who like Two Thrones also had it been their first Prince of Persia game. A funny trend, kinda explains a lot.

[@Howitchewstofeel5gum]

Super hard disagree on WW "keeping the essence" of Sands of Time. Literally everything else has been sacrificed for the combat and edginess to take center stage. The Arabian Nights atmosphere and soundtrack, the whimsical and at times even humorous tone, the Prince's character development, PUZZLES, long and spectacular climbing/freerunning sections like the tower climb... It's all gone. Instead, you have a moody edgelord going around and murdering everything in sight while, for some godforsaken reason, there is Godsmack playing in the background of a PoP game (???) and every female character is hypersexualized to the point of absolute ridiculousness.

[@heisenberg3206]

stay mad warrior within is better than your childeren's fairy tail which is sands of time

[@Howitchewstofeel5gum]

@@heisenberg3206 oooh so edgy 😂

[@arionisdaman]

Warrior within is my favorite the combat and the story are perfect I own the PS3 hd trilogy I always play at least one once a year . Also the sands of time is backwards compatible on the Xbox in 4k . Always loved the prince of persia trilogy.

[@Guilty02]

Kinda surprised getting chased by the dahaka (or whatever it’s called) wasn’t burned into others’ brains when younger.

[@angietrif]

Great video! I’m actually really looking forward to lost crown as I crave a Metroid dread experience to start off my year with stress 👍🏻😂 Hope to see you do a retrospective on final fantasy VII before rebirth comes out!

I am sucker for heroes being able to turn into darker versions of themselves as much as the next guy. As much as I felt betrayed by the tonal shift from Jak 1 to 2, I fell head over heels over the "cool factor" that was Dark Jak. So when I saw The Dark Prince on the cover of Two Thrones that of course got me excited as well. Only problem in that game, is that unlike Jak where you are free to use Dark Jak whenever as long as your dark eco meter is full enough, the Dark Prince's sections are 100% scripted. You don't just have a button that let's you transform at will. Because unlike Jak's open-world platforming spiel, Prince of Persia is a "hallway game", meaning the levels are 100% designed to account for the normal Prince's agility, strength, and speed, and so you would break the game in half if you could transform at will into his dark half with increased everything. Therefore the Dark Prince sections are picked out for you, in areas where you NEED his super human strength in order to even survive, like being swarmed by tough enemies that normal Prince wouldn't have a chance against. Don't get me wrong these sections CAN be fun, but not being in full control of the power of darkness yourself is a let down.

Great thumbnail as usual

[@fasttrack70]

Remember my friend calling me to go round his house to go get him past a few levels on those sands of time games 😂

[@TheAkamoe33]

i have beat them all in the sand of time trilogy and to me its a legendary franchise cant wait for the sands of time remake and the new as well.

[@LFCfanSHANE]

Great video! Could you review the splinter cell games please?

[@cthulhu888]

These are still one of my all time fav trilogies! Sands of time is goat but loved the vibe of warrior within, the soundtrack and gameplay and story were really awesome! Two thrones felt like it needed a bit more time to flesh the story and characters more but it tied the other games together well enough ^^

[@corycampbell4203]

It is still to this day, one of the best trilogies of any era

[@Bhutchin09]

I loved sands of time and then I remember when the trailer dropped for warrior within and it played I stand alone by Godsmack. So fucking bad ass. I never did finish two thrones. I remember I got stuck at a boss and never got around to beating it. Greet childhood memories tho.

[@DeiGmz]

ubisoft giving the warrior within armor in the lost crown feels like an insult.

[@diogobarao9992]

Thank you so much for talking about this trilogy Matty! I'm from 2000 so i grew up with these games, especially warrior within! I remember waking up very early just so that I could continue my progress, cuz i had no memory card :') good times
