Today I'm reviewing the a metroidvania that I've been eagerly awaiting. I was given a chance to play it when it was revealed back in the Spring, and it exceeded all my expectations. It's Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.

Game footage is my own, recorded on an XBox One X. Music is from the game's soundtrack. I was provided a key for this game by Ubisoft. They also took me out to their studio in Montpellier to try the game last year.

The Memory Shard system feels like a game changer for how you traverse in a metroidvania type game.

Didn't Bloodstained ritual of the night have the same fast travel system?

It's really useful. Regular map markers are nice, but rarely actually help me remember exactly what I need to.

@newstandardaccount 4 месяца назад

@@Cannotbetamed1 While I love the mechanic, the game seems to unnecessarily limit the number of memory slots you can use. It's also tedious to have to go through all your old slots to see which can be freed up. I think they do need to limit the number you get, or people would just spam it, but I'd like to see a big increase in the number of available slots. I know you can unlock more, but the number still feels restrictive.

I was fighting a boss about two hours into the game. It's this big guy who swings a giant pillar around. He has this big two hit attack that hits in front of him then behind him. He was charging at me and dodge rolled through the front hit of the attack and linked a parry to my roll which partied the back hit of the attack. I fell in love with the game at that moment. The gameplay is just so well designed and smooth. The exploration and abilities are peak metroidvania and the character driven story is surprisingly great. I'm only 6 hours into it at the moment but so far its up there with Grime, Iconoclasts, Bloodstained and Ender Lillies as my favorite Metroidvanias.

I hope they make a 3D PoP as high quality as this but I am just glad Ubisoft is making linear games again for the first time since forever. I am going to buy this game just to support them making more games like this. Hopefully Splinter Cell and Rayman might get cool revivals too.

@MoltoRubato88 5 месяцев назад

The Lost Crown is the perfect way commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Prince of Persia series. It serves to expand the game's universe, feels great to play, and (for those who want to) it can be played with the dialog in the Persian language. You can find that in the "Settings."

This game looks great and love that they are also innovating this genre of game as well, with the memory shards and the option to retry or respawn.

@PurplePixieEater 2 месяца назад

Nice to see the series return to the simpler side-scrolling form of the original... kinda, sorta. I first played PoP on my SNES but they added many annoying extra levels (if I never see another skeleton with a sword on a moving platform in a game again, I'll die just a lil bit happier). Then I played it on PC and thought, "Now this is REASONABLE" and I actually finished the game.

good review, you played the game before me, but everything is spot on. Although you said it was your favorite Metroidvania since Hollow Knight, I would mostly agree, but Ori and the Will of the Wisps is up there for me too. Prince of Persia The Lost Crown is an awesome Metroidvania and I am not usually the biggest fan of UBisoft, but they nailed this game.

I really appreciate the care you put in to keep it spoiler free when describing everything. Bang up job. I do have a couple of questions if you get the time to respond.

Thanks again and I hope you have a great year.
