A Superb metroidvania amazingly balanced. It can conquer newcomers and leave a sweet taste in the mouth of those who really love these kind of labyrinths with platforms, action, habilities and puzzles.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown makes it difficult to put down the controller. The fluid action, the beautiful animations and designs, the creative levels and ways you can use the map... I could go on and on. Platforming and action are masterfully balanced and braving the game world and its secrets is as challenging as it is rewarding. There are some bugs here and there during boss fights, and the occasional lack of button responsiveness, but that really doesn't make the game any less fun. This is the Prince of Persia game we deserve in 2024.

Prince of persia is my game of the year. Very fun combat, platforming, and exploration . Combat is satisfying. You always have new stuff going on. Not repetitive. Abilities are amazing and badass. it looks and plays excellent, very smooth in everything. Some parts of platforming is challenging in a good way. Best metroidvania game.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a successful reinvention of the dormant franchise that carves out a marvelous new identity, one that clearly has a bright future. While it doesn’t revolutionize the Metroidvania genre, it certainly elevates it to new heights by refining it and blending in the best aspects of previous Prince of Persia entries. Combined with a terrific soundtrack, a stylish aesthetic, and an intriguing narrative that avoids the pitfall of becoming too overbearing, The Lost Crown marks an excellent start to 2024.
The Lost Crown doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it does an excellent job of implementing the gameplay loop of exploration, character improvement and progression.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a good Metroidvania and a welcome return for this long dormant series. We just wish it had dynamic difficulty as some bosses are just that bit too tough. There’s only so many times we can face failure.
Fluid, well-paced, easy to handle and with multiple settings to adapt to all ways of playing, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown sets the bar high. Relying on the best references of the genre at the risk of not letting its personal touch twirl, the app ticks all the boxes of a very good action adventure platformer. Ubisoft has created a Metroidvania that meets the specifications, clean, without major burrs, but also without a little something that makes it as unique as a legendary gem. If you like the genre, go for it.
In its combat and tricky platforming sections, The Lost Crown is mostly a blast. The problem is that it’s surrounded by dull exploration, frequently underwhelming bosses, and enough small frustrations to keep it from greatness. I’m baffled at how little it dives into its unique frozen-time premise, because the moments where it does are the best parts of the game. The Lost Crown’s high points are enough to recommend it to anyone looking for a good action platformer, but if you want a game that scratches the itch for satisfying exploration, you may walk away disappointed.
My favorite metroid-vania to date (displacing Metroid: Dread).
The melee combat is very well realized and the enemy variety is wide enough to keep it interesting throughout the run time.
The platforming is incredibly satisfying and not too difficult. The game feel here is absolutely top notch. The amount of air control, jump height and the way you can (and should) lift enemies and kick their asses in the air all feels amazing. When you complete a longer section of demanding platforming, using multiple powers, it's great.
The story is surprisingly good as well! If the story was throw-away, I still would have rated this game highly because it's the least important factor in a game like this, but I'm a **** for time travel and this game handles it well.
This game has all three kinds of heat and will surely be a classic in the genre for years to come. I will definitely put this on my replay list for a few years down the road.

1. The overall difficulty is high, requiring a solid grasp of game mechanics even on the lowest setting.
2. High repetition: Every teleportation requires going to the position, leading to significant time wasted on meaningless travelling.
3. The plot is average, with many untold stories and hastily concluded characters, and the campaign is relatively short, taking around 10 hours to complete.

Average most of the time, decent at best, action is boring and repetitive, navigation is tedious, puzzles are not very fun, and the story is a cliche.

I didn't like the graphics, but overall mechanics looks ok. Does this game deserve a chance? IDK??
