Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

First good ubisoft game in years

This game really is so fun. To start, the combat. It can be so damn difficult, but in a way where you want to get better and not in an infuriating way. And for those who don't wish to have such a hard-core experience, the settings do wonders being able to adjust damage done and taken to however way you chose with difficulty sliders for a custom difficulty. Where this game shines for me however is the platforming. Once you reach the final parts of the game and unlocked most or all abilities, the traversal really opens up and shines and becomes truly incredible. Some of the platforming challenges and puzzles can be so intuitive that require you to string together many perfectly times moves and jumps, and it makes for such a satisfying experience after beating whatever challenge that was in your way. The collectibles and map are good for a metroidvania, but I do wish there was a minimal displayed on your screen while playing, but that is a very small inconvenience that doesn't ruin the experience. Edit: All bugs regarding side quests have been fixed. Go trophy hunt people

Two months after it's release, it's finally done, my 189 platinum was this one and what a fucking game my friends!
I love Prince of Persia since Playstation 2, I have all the games in my collection. For a long time now, I've been waiting for a sequel, a new title or whatever, something that was a Prince of Persia game. The story isn't hard to understan, the gameplay is super fluid, but also a bit challenging. I need more Prince of Persia, hope Ubisoft never foget about again. Fucking recomend to you if you havent play it yet!

An overall smartly crafted Metroidvania and good return to the franchise. With some fun abilities and engaging combat that is let down by a tepid story, forgetful characters, and some bugs. The end game collectathon after receiving all your powers is less engaging than the best in the genre, and a quest breaking bug stopped me from getting 100%, which made me not even attempt getting a 99%.
