Get ready to embark on an exhilarating adventure with “Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.” Developed by Ubisoft and Ubisoft Montpellier, this game is available on various platforms including Windows PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 4 and 5. Set to be released on January 18, 2024, the game comes with a price tag of $49.99 USD.
In this reboot, the Prince takes a backseat as the spotlight shifts to Ghassan, who is now portrayed as a victim. The change in the protagonist’s role sets the stage for a fresh narrative, albeit a bit too verbose for a metroidvania game. While the story is engaging, some players may find it overly wordy, prompting the thought that perhaps a ‘less is more’ approach would have been more effective.
Make no mistake, “Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown” is not for the faint-hearted. It presents a formidable challenge and doesn’t shy away from penalizing sloppy play. But fear not, as Sargon, while not adorned with the royal title, possesses the agility and grace reminiscent of a Prince of Persia.
If you found “Metroid Dread” to be lacking in length, then rejoice, for “Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown” promises to deliver a more substantial gameplay experience. Moreover, gone are the days of glitchy character faces a la “Assassin’s Creed Unity.” This reboot boasts a level of polish and finesse that captivates players with its stunning visuals.
Having had the opportunity to review “Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown” on PlayStation 5, courtesy of Ubisoft, it’s clear that this game is a testament to the evolution and refinement of action-adventure gaming.
With its reimagined protagonist, captivating storyline, and challenging gameplay, “Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown” is poised to captivate both fans of the original series and newcomers alike. So, gear up and prepare to lose yourself in a world of mesmerizing visuals and exhilarating gameplay as you embark on this epic adventure.
