Prince of Persia® Reviews

I played this game in 2010 after playing through each SoT, WW and TTT several times and didn't like it because it was too casual and had nothing to do with the prince we knew before. I went through 75% before my saves got corrupted and didn't want to play again back then. Saw it on sale now and decided to give it another go. Well, I have to say this has dumbest tutorial I ever had a displeasure to witness. I walk towards the edge and it tells me something. I would assume probably something about running on walls, except that I have no idea since I've pressed spaced and fell and now it doesn't tell me the message again and I have no idea what it were saying. Space allows me to run on walls it seems but on the second obstacle I was only able to do it properly after 4th try. May be a skill issue but it seems I just lack some important info I have to read that the game skipped because I kept moving or something? I remember this game being casual so maybe it is not that big of a deal but I also remember fleeing from Dahaka where 0.1s delay wait the difference between a success and death and my reaction is not the same it used to be 20 years ago, so I don't feel it was necessary to introduce the "lack of knowledge" delay because the tutorial was present on the screen for 0.4 seconds and coundn't be brought back by walking around the place where it was first encountered or something.

[h1]Refreshing[/h1] The graphic of this game aged like a fine wine, even in 2025 the level of attention to detail make this game re-playable and relived the glory days of forgotten prince.

A great attempt at bringing a new vibe to the Prince of Persia format. I know some people weren't fans but I really liked the art direction. Would love to see a modern remaster of these older games.

Enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Plays really well, and seems designed to make your life easy. You can't die unlike in the other POP games, you only get reset to an earlier point, which makes failing so much less annoying. It feels like it was designed to be super accessible, though not easy per se. It may feel repetitive in some places, but that is just because the difficulty curve is so gradual. You have a lot of time to get gud. Characters are nice too.

Completato raccogliendo tutti i 1000 semi, peccato non abbia achievements. Gioco davvero rilassante e bellissimo nonostante gli anni.

I remember playing it way back in 08. This is still the gem it was back then. It's mind boggling how much better the movement and "parkour" are in this game compared to the more recent assassin's creed games. Runs great out of the box on the deck. The music is amazing, was chilling throughout the entire game.

An oldie but a goodie. Super satisfying gameplay and great soundtrack. You'll definitely like this game if you're into fantasy.

Buen juego si lo miras como un juego de plataformas. Es la segunda vez en mi vida que lo juego, y el gameplay me entretiene. El final le resta un monton de puntos, y como es un juego de vergisoft, el epilogo decidieron no lanzarlo en PC, aun asi me gusta menos el final del epilogo asi que.. 6/10

(I've beaten the game previously on other systems.) The game is good, overlooked. Inspired some feelings. The flashing lights REALLY need to be toned down though.

I never played the Prince of Persia games before this but had heard a lot of good things about them. The parkour does feel a bit dated and janky at first but after a few hours, it felt natural and satisfying to figure out where I was supposed to go and how I was supposed to get there. I was worried about the combat from some reviews I read prior to playing, but the combat was surprisingly on the easier side for me, particularly with the parry function. I feel like I could reasonably parry at least 7 (or 8) of every 10 times I tried to. The combat was okay for what it was but not the reason to play this game. I played this game for the parkour platforming and the banter between the Prince and Elika. I had a lot of fun with this game and look forward to checking out the rest of the series.
