Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown review

Exceptional

by bkzland

I think this was a good take on the series, mixing the classic game with some Sands of Time elements. Overall it plays fine but the Soulslike stuff really ruined some of it for me. The combat never felt great and while the platforming worked well most of the time, I found sometimes it was misreading inputs and eating my jumps on some sections. I think you should've gotten most of the traversal stuff a bit sooner to help the flow a bit. 

Not bad. 7.5 / 10. The reason behind this is because alot of the stages felt similar in the sense of the jumping and avoiding those things that auto kill you. After a while it got super annoying because the difficulties was increased but it was the same old stuff with like minimal reward for it (eg. Xerxes coin). The battles felt pretty good but the game did feel like it was lengthened for filler type sake. Overall, the game was ok. One time through was enough.
