UbiSLOP wishes they could release this kinda game in the year 2025. It'd be more successful than any of their current flops. This game ages like fine wine. It still looks great and runs great. No bs launcher. Hot prince with piercing bright blue eyes. Nathan Drake voice actor. Funny and quirky dialogues. Beautiful timeless graphics. PS. You can set the resolution to 4K via RegEdit, just google it. 9/10

It’s more about mood and character than nonstop action, and that can be either its greatest strength or its biggest drawback. Its flowing, painterly world turns the experience into a journey.

I'm gonna start with what may be a downside for this game which is that it is easy. Ridiculously easy. It even has an acronym for why it's so easy: E.A.S.Y. (Elika Always Saves You). Now, that ease is mostly in the fact that it's basically impossible to fail any section, but that doesn't mean the developers neglected to put challenge into the combat or level design. And one strength of how easy this game is, is that this entry is a great place to start if you're completely new to the Prince of Persia franchise. Most, if not all, of the games rely on timing and precision which this game fairly introduces, and I think the QTEs, a common trope of games from this era, reinforce that practice rather than detract from it. With that out of the way, here are the things I particularly enjoyed about the game or found interesting: - 2nd-person perspective. This happens one time at the very end of the game, and it's understandable why such a feature is not common in games, but I just thought it was so cool to find a game that actually utilized it, even if very briefly so. - Elika. It wouldn't be a PoP game without a beautiful woman, usually a princess, helping you along and she is no exception to that rule. If you want to get the most dialogue out of here, keep spamming the talk button until the prince keeps repeating himself, since it's not always 100% clear when she's run out of new lines. - The navigation hints. The way this game implemented hints for pointing you towards the objective which you set is done pretty well I think. It's not intrusive, it isn't overly persistent (the light appears, lingers, then goes), and it doesn't break the game in terms of handholding you towards your destination (unless you want it to, which it somewhat can). - The combat. The way the combat is designed really evoked a sense of the back-and-forth fencing style of the original game. Now, this was mostly in appearance, which was certainly good (the Prince's blade and his stance just portrayed such a cool image of a Persian swordsman to me) but the dueling could be relived as well in interactions where you and the enemy launch a series of lunges and ripostes at each other until one of you finally breaks through. Other reviews can cover the aspects of the game I neglected here, e.g. the story, atmosphere, etc. (the budding romance between the two characters is tropey but still fun), but I just wanted to highlight some of the parts of the game which particularly resonated with me. If you like platformers, the Prince of Persia franchise, or even just early 2000s games then be sure to give this a try. P.S. There is an epilogue to the game which Ubislop never ported, so once you finish the game find a video of the epilogue online and watch through it if you want to know what happens after your final game decision.

This game is incredibly underrated. I think it is because it wasn't at all what people expected when it first came out and it is not associated with the first trilogy from the PS2 games, but it is still a great platformer and a metroidvania type before every game tried to be one. Being an adult now and ecognizing Nolan North as the "Prince" makes me love the game even more. Please play this game give it love and hopefully we can get a remaster or sequel.
