Game news 35 years after his birth, Prince of Persia is back, and he’s more modern than ever!
While the Sands of Time remake, announced in 2020, no longer provides any news, Ubisoft is finally releasing a new episode of its favorite series with Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. If you want to know more about Ubisoft’s game, we suggest you watch our test video (available in autoplay).
Mount Calf is home to many mysteries, some of which may have lost the mind of Sargon, the protagonist of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Although he is part of a group of elite fighters known as the Immortals, the hero will face death more than once! Although the narrative is present in The Lost Crown, the scenario of this episode is an excuse to visit different and varied places, keeping our interest thanks to a few twists and turns and regularly integrated new features.
With the potential to push to 120fps in 4K on PS5 and Xbox Series X, even running at 60fps on Switch, The Lost Crown is a feast for the eye. The style of the game is inspired by Japanese anime and comics, which you will see by watching our videos. The oldest among you may regret the artistic direction that strays from the original game, but Ubisoft has chosen to modernize the look of its heroes. Very successful for the Switch, it must still be admitted that the game is not very impressive on the PS5 and Xbox seriesThe downside is the textures aren’t always very detailed, special effects are missing, and above all the animations aren’t always top notch with respect to opponents and NPCs.
As we said, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown 2.5D “action adventure platformer” abandons the purely 3D action-adventure to focus on Metroidvania.. Like other games in the genre, the title is divided into different interconnected zones within the same world. Maps of these areas are acquired from NPCs for a small fee. While it can be easy to get lost in the game’s plethora of corridors, Ubisoft has thought of everything to make exploration pleasant thanks to multiple visual cues and impressive accessibility options.
Especially action-oriented, The Lost Crown is not an easy game. Opponents have a wide range of moves, and understanding the timing of attacks is important to activate a well-felt parry. Whether he uses his blade, his bow, his magic, or chakra, Sargon has what it takes to bite into the dust those who seek to stop his epic. “Try hard” fans who enjoy roughing it will get their money’s worth, as there are many platform stages that require dexterity. Even if a few guesses spoil the party, the gameplay succeeds.
In its content, Prince of Persia is generous. The areas are large and allow you to visit the country. Essential to Metroidvania, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown offers exploration within sprawling labyrinths, massive bosses, and hard-to-solve puzzles. In addition to a generous single-player quest, The Lost Crown is full of side quests and collectibles to collect. Once the main adventure is completed, it is possible to aim for 100% by restarting your savings.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown raises the bar. At the risk of not relinquishing its personal touch by relying on the genre’s best references, Software ticks all the boxes of a very good Metroidvania. It releases on January 18, 2024 on Switch, PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.
