Prince of Persia® Reviews

This game is very fun! Good parkour, awesome combat, flashy combos, but there's one issue. I got my PC reset, so naturally I wanted to re-download it. I was gonna pause it to do something else, but just then the second part showed up and the "cancel" button w as right over steam's "pause" button and it didn't give me all the files. Re-installed about 5 times now, still won't give me the files! Anybody know what to do? Could use some help.

Prince of Persia (2008) by Ubisoft Montreal Release Year: 2008 Genre: Action-Adventure First playthrough length: 12hrs Prince of Persia is the 2008 remake of the classic Action-Adventure series, this time with a new setting, open world to explore and a revamped and cinematic combat system Positives: Visuals - The game looks amazing even in 2025, and the animations are straight up gorgeous Platforming - Traversing the world is very fun due to the game's varied arsenal of movement techniques World Design - the looping and intricate nature of the world makes for enaging platforming Negatives: Story - The game's story is bland and forgettable, until the last ten minutes where it becomes simply bad Combat - While not bad per se, combat is clunky and not as polished as the platforming Characters - This Prince is an unlikeable cad who I was bored with by halfway through Final Thoughts: Struggling under the weight of it's influential predecessors, PoP (2008) is a game feeling the burden of expectations. Gameplay-wise it works, but the characters leave much to be desired, and the turn to an unearned downer ending leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Final Score: 6/10

A brilliant game to play and also I enjoyed it so much

Unfortunately I want to like this game so much: the graphics, the story ( not the ending) and the settings are all good, I love the interaction between the "prince" and Elika, the beautiful landscape that the game offers, but, unfortunately the rest is not that good. Let's start with gameplay, it's not good, the platforming is basic and it reminds mea lot of assassin's creed which is bad, PoP was not the most intricate at platforming but not that easy like an assassin's creed with one button doing all the stuff you need, is similar to it, which is basicly a dumb down version of the system in the sand of time trilogy and that's not good, the controls are bad too, sometimes I feel unsure about action or QTE because I swear I was hitting the button correctly but the game was not having it, and finally, the combat, to be honest I love the choreography of it, when you do a long combo is really cool and i like the design of the enemies, but seriously? Fighting the same enemy four time before actually defeating it? That terrible and repetitive as heck ah yes and you cannot die you are stuck in there until the enemy is dead or flees away, you can see way it pretty boring after a while. The story I won't say a lot but the ending I really don't like it...at least give me a choice.... So yeah it's not terrible but unfortunately has a lot of flaws.

What can i say about the 2008 reboot of Prince of Persia? The flow you have while doing the platforming, which is 90% of the game, is absolutely great. The visuals hold up, or at least, i had zero complaints about it. But that's where it ends. The only gripes i had with the game were 1: Combat. Clunky AF. Sometimes it would just work and you would be on your way. Other times, it was like a real drag on the flow you had leading up to it. 2: The story was basic as it gets, there is no proper cutscenes once you start on your journey so a lot of the dialogue between the prince and Elika, can be listened to by pressing the talk button. But instead of pressing it and then listening to them have a normal conversation, it will just have them say one line each and then it makes you have to press the talk button again to get more dialogue, and its just one line each. Idk what the thought was around this but fuck, just put in some cutscenes so i can try to like the characters. A VERY weird choice there. So all in all... 7/10. Pick it up, play it, put it away and maybe one day you will revisit it.

Good game, but after watching the Epilogue DLC, the writers cannot fucking write a good ending to save their lives.

Any slightly above average game that isn't heaped with praise or extraordinarily successful will always end up being hailed as a hidden game cult classic genre defining watershed deeply emotional and beautiful. This game is fine for 2 or 3 hours but it is not worth the double digit hours you'll put into it, forgetting how much you pay. The gameplay is nearly braindead, and if you have played any uncharted or assassins creed game, the charm of fluid parkour wears off extremely quickly. The same goes with the unbelievably shallow dialogue that seems forced to be comedic and constantly undercutting anything interesting or serious. The story itself is generic, the characters have zero arcs and never get to know each other properly which leads to an embarrassingly unearned and elongated ending. The open world format destroys any last possibility of a good story since it is complete random chance what bosses you choose to face first, making the characters seem bi-polar. The music and visuals are decent, but dont waste your time and instead play other games in the series, I heard the newest one was pretty good. Edit: Holy shit I forgot, theres a terrible and janky combat system as well that slow everything to a crawl. The fights are so easy to beat, every enemy/boss has the same timing for a parry and enemies can be autokilled, that when I wrote this (right after beating the game) it immediately left my mind. Seriously, don't bother, its not awful, but its not worth your time.

É um bom jogo, mas não chega nem perto do nível da trilogia anterior. As batalhas são bem simples e limitadas, e o jogo é bem repetitivo.

This game is a blend of Legends of Zelda, Final Fantasy, Prince of Persia, Borderlands... If you like any of these games then you'll love this one. I highly recommend it, specially if you liked Breath Of The Wild. It's vey fun and puts your brain to work. ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☐ Beautiful ☑ Good ☐ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS ---{ Gameplay }--- ☑ Very good ☐ Good ☐ It's just gameplay ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't ---{ Audio }--- ☐ Eargasm ☑ Very good ☐ Good ☐ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf ---{ Audience }--- ☐ Kids ☑ Teens ☑ Adults ☐ Grandma ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☑ Check if you can run paint ☐ Potato ☐ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer ---{ Game Size }--- ☐ Floppy Disk ☑ Old Fashioned ☐ Workable ☐ Big ☐ Will eat 10% of your 1TB hard drive ☐ You will want an entire hard drive to hold it ☐ You will need to invest in a black hole to hold all the data ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☐ Easy ☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☑ Significant brain usage ☐ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls ---{ Grind }--- ☐ Nothing to grind ☐ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks ☐ Isn't necessary to progress ☑ Average grind level ☐ Too much grind ☐ You'll need a second life for grinding ---{ Story }--- ☐ No Story ☐ Some lore ☐ Average ☑ Good ☐ Lovely ☐ It'll replace your life ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☐ Short ☑ Average ☐ Long ☐ To infinity and beyond ---{ Price }--- ☐ It's free! ☑ Worth the price ☐ If it's on sale ☐ If u have some spare money left ☐ Not recommended ☐ You could also just burn your money ---{ Bugs }--- ☑ Never heard of ☐ Minor bugs ☐ Can get annoying ☐ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs ---{ ? / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☐ 7 ☐ 8 ☑ 9 ☐ 10

There's probably around an hour or two of good game in here and the rest is padding, it feels like they designed the basic elements they needed for maybe three levels and then made somewhere around 24 mini-levels out of them. They're not even particularly good elements outside of a couple unique set pieces, both combat and platforming devolve into a game of Simon Says. Simon Says it's time to hit the Claw button? Well ok better tap it then. Most standard fights can be ended instantly with the combo Claw->Jump->Magic->Blade/Claw. Sometimes the bosses can be ended instantly too but rarely are they that generous. In later fights I was almost never getting hurt, but had to spend roughly eight minutes just wailing on the boss' inflated hp bar and waiting for the combat cutscenes to play out so I could hit whatever button Simon Says during it. It's not all bad, the art style is pretty decent and a few of the levels even look and play well! Plus the two main characters are decently writen. The ending is a bit sour since not only did it set up other games they never made (the game understandably sold poorly) but they also didn't port the epilogue DLC to the steam version. You won't miss anything by skipping this game.
