the two thrones is underrated - that one part where you have to climb your way across a gigantic cathedral is so memorable

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is quickly becoming my all-time 2D MetroidVania games. I'm about 75% done with it, and this game is awesome. Another great 2D MetroidVania game that came out fairly recently was the Ori games. Part one was amazing, and part 2 was even better

[@MartinKincl1993]

None of the games come close to Warrior Within in terms of combat. In WW you can turn combat into art. You can grab enemies' weapons, throw their weapons, throw them, behead them, slice them into two horizontally, slice them into two vertically, hurl them into traps or into one another, finish them off with their own weapons or just break every bone in their body. You can parry in multiple ways. When dual wielding you can chain crazy combos, kicking enemies like a break dancer doing a helicopter. Add time powers to the mix and when you finally master all that and you unleash the warrior within with a perfect and varied flurry of carnage against a large group of enemies without getting hit once, it starts to give the game a whole new dimension. To me, it starts to feel almost like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and the regular enemies are there for you show off your freestyle abilities. I can see The Lost Crown sort of mimicking that feel, but on a 2D plane it's still gonna be a far cry from WW no matter what.

[@FutureLifeSounds]

Warrior Within was hard af. You needed a guide to beat the game. And it had a gamebreaking bug that was never fixed.

[@MartinKincl1993]

​@@FutureLifeSounds What do you mean? I've never needed a guide to beat the game. In fact I never needed a guide to get all life upgrades and finish with the good ending. As for game breaking bugs, I only recall you being able to get to the big room where you fight Shahdee in the present and not being able to get back.

[@einfachtot6017]

I do also like Rival swords on psp, so hyped to play the lost crown in just 3 days

[@Mintcar923]

I was stoked about having the series on PSP.. The one issue is the camera unfortunately.. I died so many unnecessary deaths on Rival Swords I switched to ps2 version.. Forgotten Sands(PSP) is just weird.. Strange difficulty pattern from what I remember.. I didn’t have an issue with the ps3 version though.. I def liked it more than Jonathan! Still not as good as Sands of Time.. It was very good but not quite great..

I haven't played a PoP game since the original on MS-DOS, so when they announced a new 2D Metroidvania and everyone was like "No! We want a PoP like the old ones!" I was like "lolwut? Oh honey," lol. Anyways... I bought it. I'll need to go back and play The Sands of Time trilogy at some point but dang if this isn't a direct challenger to Metroid Dread as the best Metroidvania of this generation (and possibly ever).

[@zeroattentiongaming820]

I'm a fan who was introduced through the Sands trilogy so take it with a grain of salt but I'd say Sands of Time at least was a must play from that generation for sure. It even included some version of the first game as an unlockable, something I think more modern (or relatively modern in this case) revivals of old franchises should do. If I'm not mistaken, Sands was the last time Jordan Mechner got involved with the series personally and it had his enthusiastic blessing as a succesor to what he started

[@Mintcar923]

So another thing Ubi should consider is remaking the original PoP trilogy akin to what they did with AC Chronicles.. Well I guess technically they only have to worry about 2 & 3 being they already did it with the first one.. I was never a fan of tank controls not even with Tomb Raider & RE.. 2d PoP kinda gets away with it however because the animation was unprecedented at the time.. I didn’t hate Fallen King on DS when I had it.. Admittedly it could have been much better tho.. Sadly I don’t have my have my original DS collection anymore.. I should have been smart & kept it..

[@TaylorWilmes]

As an 8 year old at the time going from warrior within was shocking at how much the prince changed. I was down right offended that he said “bitch”, but had a lot of fun playing the game. I never got to experience the two thrones because it had nudity on the back and my mother never bought it for me for that reason at the time. Going to have to find my old OG Xbox or purchase a new one and a physical copy so I can complete it.

[@f0327]

warrior within and the two thrones was the peak of prince of persia

[@ActionJaxonH]

I agree Lost Crown is EASILY the best Prince of Persia game. Anyone who says otherwise is either wearing nostalgia goggles or has a bias against 2D

[@YEY0806]

Or is racist

[@user-jn3ck5qy4j]

Worrier within is the absolute best POP game Best story Best voice acting Best music Best game play loved the Dahaka chase Loved the twist near the end where you are actually the weird creature that has been attacking ,but from future

[@athletico3548]

its not just best music, its the best metal theme i have ever heard of all time. Metallica is softcore garbage compared to this OST.

[@arashmollaeipour]

i played most of POP games and i really enjoyed lost crown its become my number 1 POP now after that i put warrior within in second position

[@HarshitSharma-xg1me]

The Lost Crown is the best game. But Warrior Within is emotion ⚔️❤️

[@johnraymondkurowski2138]

Cement. Always love your videos.

[@DarkH-gv3hc]

I just finished the game a couple days ago and I absolutelly loved it. Its probably in my top 10 favorite games of all times, the combat and the platforming are a lot of fun, the story is good, and the bosses are excellent and I bet this game will be considered to have the best boss lineup in the series. I just wonder, when you said that in one cutsene, Sargon was T-posing, which one were you talking about ? And did you run into a bug where the screen just zooms out toward Sargon and it makes everything anoyingly hard to see ?

[@dimebag505]

Flashback, Abes Odyssey & Exodus were also massively influenced by the original Prince of Persia, a lot of the 3d ones are on steam

[@ReDEyE_PS]

Cement! I also loved the lost crown but a side quest got bugged for me and i can't complete it so im hoping for ubisoft to fix it soon since its the only thing stopping me from having 100% on it

[@Kristofpherburger]

Easy fix for the side quest bug is to unplug your controller or reset your console. Unless you played on switch I think it’s just broken bad on there

[@ReDEyE_PS]

Thats for the moon gatherer quest but i got the parrot quest bug where the parrot doesn't even show up​@@Kristofpherburger

[@Mike-hj7gg]

lost crown is easily the best

[@The.Crawling.Chaos.]

Forgotten Sands may have meh story and clearly made because of a movie but it has some of the best platforming in the series. Such as shame that everyone craps on it. I bet a lot of people never played it. Pick it up on sale for some really cool platform gameplay. I never understood why sands of time is the favorite of most in that trilogy. It sure is fun but man does it get repetitive doing the fights. Warrior within beat it by a mile in the fighting part. Shame that WW ditched the cool soundtrack and went NU-Metal instead.

[@gaganplaysgames564]

Still, the warrior within, the best pop . It has the atmosphere where you really something that cant be explained. The combat and dhaka chase make it unique.

[@marcopaglia8084]

Sands of TIme for the GBA was also a fun metroidvania for its time

[@bodacious117]

I love the lost crown.. never played the others but it got me to buy the hd trilogy and try it out when it gets here

[@infinitedeath1384]

I should start playing the older prince of persia games. Ive only played one of the old games, and the new one, which was awesome, especially considering ubisoft of all game studios made it. A revitalising breath of fresh air from the generic assassins creed open world games.

[@joejohnson8966]

32:20 yes 42:35 more games need this.

Another banger. Seems like that new PoP is cemented as a classic!

just how many games have you completed in total?

Over 9000

[@aidanevans5239]

yes

[@hemangchauhan2864]

POP 2008 was one of the first games from Xbox360/PS3 era, and I quite liked it. Loved the movement and puzzles, and the art and music were so so good. Never cared for combat.

[@solidkwon]

I love Two Thrones. But I always chalked thst up to nostalgia cause it the Prince of Persia game I grew up with and didnt ever get to play Sands of Time. and then all other PoP games I’ve played since Two Thrones - 2008 reboot, Forgotten Sands, original remake - was not great experience for me.

[@suhailshaikh8529]

True I played sot after every other game and felt it so basic but realised that it should have been played first

[@joelsytairo6338]

Anyone who was suprised by the lost crown being good hasn’t played a metroidvania in the last ten years or so. Hollow Knight , will if the wisps dread, deadcells… it’s been hit after hit in that genre and it’s not surprising at all

[@FatalJapan]

It's nice to see an actual Ubisoft game that doesn't have micro transactions. Although I'm not happy with the Ubisoft execs' comment about us not owning our games.

[@Codewa-xb9lt]

It looks like hollow knight and DMC had a baby.

[@DanBickeru]

Not sure why you're talking about the DS and PSP Forgotten Sands as though they're the same game. They're both 2D sidescrollers, but both have their own story and entirely different gameplay.

[@Amber_xo_133]

SOT and WW ❤️

[@jasonsmith530]

Lost crown is excellent Don’t discriminate against metroidvanias

[@MoltoRubato88]

Prince of Persia 3D is the bottom tier for me, while The Sands of Time could be interpreted as one of the greatest second chances for a video game series.

For me it would be more like 1.The lost Crown 2.Warrior Within 3.Two thrones 4.Sands of time 5.Prince of persia 2008 6.Forgotten sands The other ones not on the list i havent played. I like em all except pop 2008 and forgotten sands. Pop 2008 is just boring and repetitive, it has an beautiful artstyle but that doesn't save it And forgotten sands is plain just bad, that was one game i literally struggled to finished it and it wasn't even hard, i just didn't want to play it

@@issi529 bro had like 9 different warnings saying that this is not a nostalgia list since he just recently played the games for the first time. How tf are you guys this deaf? and just because the original games are old and a bit dated does not mean they are bad in anyway. 2008 is just alright, and its major detraction is the easy af gameplay that require nothing more than the bare minimum from the player because you practically never die or fail. Original Prince of Persia is a rewarding endurance test similar to the likes of PacMan and Tetris. You guys are just pampered with your modern standards and i am saying this as a Gen Z dude. So dont give me that nostalgia bullshit.

@@kimetsunoacademia3528 It actually is but ok. By the way they are not a bit dated but very dated. You are just biased if you think otherwise. Maybe not nostalgic but they go along with the brandwagon nostalgia opinions from other people. An original game doesn't mean that its always the best game.

[@mysteriousgamer8941]

Idk man, the prince of persia series has always been mediocre at best, their cool games but largely forgettable that don't make u want to revisit them. It's successor assassins creed is much better, atleast it has some great games and games like origins, odyssey, valhalla, black flag & mirage destroy even the best prince of persia. Prince of persia is ok ppl but it's son (ac) has far surpassed it, hence why it's a bigger, lasting series. AC >>> POP anyday ✌.

@@issi529 what it has to be with suffering from nostalgia? You need to take into account the current available technology and more details which were involved in the development. Pop 3d has tons of bugs and other issues, but on the surface if you are an open minded individual you can appreciate the level of passion which went into the project. If you are intellectual degenerate i feel sorry for you, you'll get there maybe someday.

@@1gga17 Dude your comment has zero to do with my point. You are overthinking way too much. This game aged as hell thats a fact. Just like many other games from that time. Btw 3d games are overall much better so need to talk about bugs or something. Some games don't age well and some others do.

I can't stand that such large studio can't even give us a full and big new entry and instead they release bugged and weak 2d metroidvania that somehow gets praised. Have you played hollow knight?
