Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Reviews
The Lost Crown isn't your typical Prince of Persia game. But it's the first big surprise of this year with its smooth gameplay, challenging enemies and glorious bosses. Ubisoft has not only returned the series to its roots, but also made one of the best metroidvania games ever made. Prince would have been worthy of such a return.

Prince of Persia is back, Baybee! The Lost Crown is not only a fantastic new entry to the series but one of the best Ubisoft titles in a long time (sorry FarCry and Assassin's Creed!). It's exciting to see the Prince return in such a polished title and it easily stands shoulder to shoulder with The Sands of Time. The adventure of Sargon is one to remember. A heartily recommended title to all who want a fun 2D action adventure!
The Lost Crown deserves a chance both from new players and old-time fans of the franchise. Yes, you do not play with the prince, but that does not affect the game experience. Ubisoft managed to put together a challenging and very enjoyable experience that mixes elements from different genres into a real good end result.
There's an absolute treat of a game in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, and the ways in which it reminds me of Hollow Knight, Metroid Dread, and of course the original Prince of Persia from 1989 are palpable. The almost-Spider-Man-like traipsing around ruined temples, a frozen sea, and majestic historical cityscapes only got better and better as Sargon's repertoire of moves grew, and even if some of the mid-to-late game bosses ramp up the difficulty a fair bit, there's more than enough fun in returning to exploration to bolster your stats and capabilities. The Lost Crown is a title that I hope people remember at the end of the year when recalling the standout video games of 2024 because there's no doubt this should be among them.
The Lost Crown is a good modern template for an old franchise, taking the essence of Prince of Persia into a familiar metroidvania format. With fun combat, good boss battles, and smooth platforming mechanics, only the convoluted levels and overlong platforming keep it from being timeless.
While The Last Crown is not without flaws, the final package is entertaining enough to make it worth your time and money. It's highly inspired by ancient Persia and offers deep and engaging gameplay and beautiful art design, proving that the Prince of Persia universe has massive potential and deserves more attention from Ubisoft.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is an excellent Metroidvania. It doesn't completely break the mold of the genre, but it is firing on all cylinders, and it's a delight from start to finish. The excellent gameplay is bolstered by the anime-inspired visuals to create a distinctive style. The somewhat lackluster plot lags behind, but even that is mostly fun, if unexceptional. If you're a fan of Metroidvania-style games, you're certain to have a ton of fun with Sargon's adventure in The Lost Crown.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is an awesome action platformer that pulls you in with its beautiful world and lore, evolving the metroidvania genre with a lot of great changes. You must play this game!
The game that destroyed my prejudices.

It has everything you could want from a game. It will entertain you, it will challenge you, and you will spend a lot of time with it without even a hint of stereotype. The variety of content is truly huge on all fronts, so you won't be bored until the credits roll some 20 hours later. It's a shame that there are a few minor flaws, but they don't detract from the overall experience to the point where you'll be bothered by them.

Like I said before, I was proven wrong that I would only come out frustrated and defeated after playing this game; I had a good time and I found myself playing the game whenever I can, even pushed myself to take on the challenges that I would otherwise drop just five or less tries in if it were any other platformer. So far, I’m confident to say that The Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a good early contender for the Best Action-Adventure game for this year.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown" is the best Metroidvania action platformer to be released in a long time, and it impresses in the test. Ubisoft has done a very good job here, which is something to be proud of. The adventure can be played through in around 25 hours. However, if you want to find all the collectibles, you will be occupied for even longer. "Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown" is convincing and is a must for fans and newcomers alike.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown opens the year of 2024 in grand fashion. The grand return of a classic franchise and a game that entertained me in the same way as the first title. The game is fun, challenging, polished, aesthetically pleasing and shows that when Ubisoft focuses its efforts on the player-game experience, without focusing only on services, and respecting our intelligence, it gets it right.
