Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown | 20+ Hours Played - Review

Ойындар

Review code provided by Ubisoft.
This is my full review for Ubisoft's "Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown."
The Lost Crown marks the triumphant return of the legendary "Prince of Persia" series, with a brand new art style, new story, and some phenomenal metroidvania gameplay elements.
The world is created almost entirely off of ancient Iranian and Arabic folklore, creating a far more authentic mythological adventure than any previous uses of the property. And by returning to a 2D gameplay style, Ubisoft managed to craft an exceptionally polished, and enjoyable gameplay experience.
There are a few bugs, all of which I've forwarded to Ubisoft for a potential day-1 patch. But the hour-to-hour gameplay was flawless and highly enjoyable, making this an absolute MUST PLAY!

    Smh, this comments section is a mess. So many of the complaints boil down to he's not the prince, he's black, it's 2D and therefore that makes it bad, or it's not Sands of Time. Some of you would have a meltdown if you realized that in The Legend of Zelda, you don't play as Zelda and that there are 2D and 3D games of varying artstyles in the franchise that exist simultaneously.

The combat is ❤❤❤ I freaking love this type of combat where you have a lot of ways to do combos, reminds me of PoP 2008(remember this??). I love the unique combo style ideaof PoP games. Great review my friend❤.. ignore the haters

  • @vicentesalasii1480

    This game is awesome. Very addictive gameplay and refined mechanics. I had a blast with the demo, and it sold me on the full product. As an OG Day 1 fan of the very first 2D PoP games and original Sands of Time Saga, I find it laughable how all these so-called "fans" of the franchise can't look past their butthurt of the SoT Remake delay to enjoy the fact that we have some stellar PoP goodness to hold us in the meantime. They completely ignore the fact that the gameplay and premise in PoP: TLC is like the perfect marriage between SoT gameplay mechanics and the vintage gameplay of the 2D classics. All that wasted energy on crying rather than enjoying. Although this heavily social media influencer/streamer influenced era of gaming is incredibly entitled, looking back, I recall the PoP fanbase has always been a particularly anal and fickle lot, frequently judging every entry on the merit of it not being SoT. No matter how great each installment was by virtue of its own merit and innovations it introduced, it was usually accompanied with a plethora of whining and viewed with nostalgia goggles. None was judged more unfairly by the base than PoP 2008, which was essentially the "Forspoken" of its generation. Like Forspoken, introducing many fluid and fun innovations and gradually and surely destined for cult classic status, but mostly appreciated in the years that followed rather than when it mattered most.

    Why I won't be playing it, despite this positive review and being a Prince of Persia fan since the early 90s: Ubisoft. The PC version will only be on their own store and Epic Games to begin with, with no word of a Steam release. When it does eventually come to Steam, it'll be plastered with the usual warnings (Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: Denuvo Anti-tamper, Requires 3rd-Party Account: Ubisoft Connect account, Requires agreement to a 3rd-party EULA). You say that Ubisoft is trying to repair its reputation but they still engage in what I consider to be anti-consumer practices, and the only even remotely effective protest I have is to not give them my money.

    when it comes to action/adventure genre nothing beats metroidvania games for me. the mystery, traps, free open world, exploration, variety of areas, so many items to discover, so many secrets/unlockables... and I can see that this game truly focus on persian mythology/history for lore/items/buildings which is really nice. I just wish main hero was a persian prince. that's the whole point of the game that you play as an adventurous/acrobatic time manipulating prince. that's a huge negative point for me.

    No, that was never the point about PoP. The point was having Arabian-esque adventures, where ANYONE can be the hero...you don't have to be the Prince of Persia to be the hero...SoT never started this series, before that, you were just some guy who became the prince only after completing his first adventure in game, not before and 2008 had just a thief call himself prince, but isn't the one. Elika was the true Prince of Persia, that is, the Princess of Persia, since she is a woman and the actual royal character that follows us together to the end of the story, even if the ending was a failure, most of it before was great, but not the ending. Titles have often different meanings depending on context, for instance Legend of Zelda is NOT the one whom the story really revolves that much around, Link is the hero. Legend of Koizumi however is about Koizumi, he is the main character, yet both titles work, why? Cuz not everything has the same meaning, stories often have different meanings and ethics, they aren't all the same.

    This game looks great but I don't get why comparing it with SoT, the gameplay is completely different. It's like saying Super Mario Wonder is Better than Super Mario Galaxy. Don't get me wrong, I like a good Metroidvania game but it's on a different category. Now, compare this one to Ori and the Blind Forest and you pretty much have the exact same game with a different skin.

    Prince of Persia has very distinctive qualities across each title. They center around some form of classic middle eastern folklore, they feature challenging platforming, and they feature intense swordplay. I believe this game is better because it does more with its theme than sands of time did, it has far better platforming mechanics and challenges, and the combat is not only more fluid and expansive, but it even is mixed in WITH the platforming, something sands of time simply did not do. Therefore, yes, its better than sands of time You're focusing way too much on the 3D vs 2D thing. That's irrelevant
