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!

I’m not really a 2.5D fan but this was a HUGE exception. Well done Ubi.
Nick930 I can't wait for your History of Prince Of Persia video!! I love those documentaries you make :)
18:14 in this scene Simurgh is talking to sargon in his mind and vice versa, that's why no lip movement
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.
"...proving Ubisoft is looking to change it's reputation this generation." But they're not. This wasn't a project handed down from Ubisoft to their devs; it was the devs that desired to make this game first and foremost. I'm not giving Ubisoft points just because they didn't 'pull a Ubisoft' this one time.

Im playing the lost crown and I absolutely love it, but if ubisoft does as good of a job with the sands of time remake as retro studios did with metroid prime remastered; sands of time will jump right back up to the top for me because there was just something about the atmosphere, music, story, characters, and overall feel of sands of time that had it's own sort of lasting magic that I and others like myself truly miss. . . Fingers crossed. . .
Amazing video! I never expected this game to be this good
This game was so so good! Doesn’t even matter how you compare it to older games. Please pick this up if you haven’t yet.
The review u make is very amazing and gives very detailed analysis of games. But i want to remind you that you have missed 2 games reviews. 1st is A Plague Tale and 2nd is Alan Wake 2.
Just finished it today, unlocked all the achievements too. It’s an excellent MetroidVania, I was pleasantly surprised! I’m hoping it sells well and gets the recognition it deserves!
I’ll try it the demo at least, to go ahead and say “Better than Sands of Time” is a pretty bold statement no matter how we look at it, but you did make me interested when I had no interest in this game before.

If you go back and play SoT right now, there are key components (combat and camera) that have not aged well. It was a great game for its time, but it feels sluggish and awkward now. Lost Crown is fantastic from top to bottom.
Prince of Persia is my favourite series i wish it keep getting new games
For those who are craving for a new pop 3d game best of luck. This shit is good. Instead of criticizing give this a shot. Shit is better than most garbage produced by Ubisoft in recent years.
That's great to hear. I really want another 3D platformer though. That market is pretty stale at the moment. And I don't think it even needs to be AAA anymore.
Looks really good I won't lie. Too bad it's not coming to Steam, looks like a perfect Steam Deck game. Will buy it if/when it comes to steam. Epic Games and Ubisoft launcher but no Steam, come on man. What could have been their thought process behind that?

Epic probably offered them a discount to host their game on their service in exchange for a year long exclusivity contract. Just typical business stuff. I agree, this makes for a great steamdeck game, tho you can always install the epic launcher on steamdeck and install epic games that way

Beautiful review and information, thanks 👍
Ubisoft did this game dirty as hell the trailers music (i like 2wei so it didn't bother me) and the price point of 49.99 (should have been 30 dollars and 35 for deluxe edition) and finally no one announced the demo on either system store so no one got to play it before the game came out and was stuck in their hate.
From a person who is a very big fan of PoP games.. I give this game a 10/10.. bcz its just interesting. I never expected a new prince of persia game and also the story is quite interesting. 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
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.
I actually enjoyed the demo for this one, i may pick it up on Switch at some point but for now Like A Dragon infinite Wealth takes priority, the Like A Dragon series is my favourite game series of all time so i'll grab The Lost Crown later on

We can’t compare 3D to a platformer. Nick, wtf :D
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.

My introduction to the series was through warrior within. However i still feel the old trilogy was different enough for me to do multiple playthroughs, and i still have fond memories of the games. Sure, they definitely don't stack up to today's standards. This game just seems like another side scrolling action platformer to me. Might change my mind once i know more about it, i guess.
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.
@Nick930

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

The click-bait title aside, no Metroidvania will ever surpass Sands of Time. IMO.

The Ubisoft PoP trilogy are some of my favorte games. Sands of time was an important cornerstone for 3D platformers and it is still a good game, but is has some a few dogshit elements to it.
Was excited to hear it’s a PoP game, but immediately disappointed by the fact that it’s a 2D game. As good as people say it is, I still can’t get into those types of games.

@@Nick930yes, I am aware they are. And, like this new entry, I would not enjoy them. I am glad you liked this newest title, and I can see why you did - your review pointed out all of those reasons and was well put together. Personally, regardless of all the merits you pointed out, 2D games are fundamentally unenjoyable.

another game from ubisoft that i will not check out, there are better metroidvania on the market if that's what you need at least i have a real Prince of Persia on steam, is just a pain to make it work on modern systems, a modern port would make a lot of fans happy

@@Nick930 bad? I wouldn't blindly call the game bad, it's like calling Far Cry a bad shooter, technically not... a colleague of mine who is much more into the metroidvania market (Hollow Knight tattoo and all) told me that compared to steam indie market this game is very generic and doesn't bring anything new to the table.... My problem with the game is that a fan like me who liked the ps2/x360 games won't have much interest in the game...
