Perhaps the highest praise that can be bestowed upon Blue Prince, and a validation of the near-decade that Ros has spent working on it, is the way in which the game successfully inspires players to follow the advice of the protagonist’s great-uncle: “Abandon the path and go where you want it to lead.”
Blue Prince breathes new life into both the adventure and roguelike genres with its freeform gameplay structure, intricate puzzle design, and intriguing lore.
Blue Prince is absolutely top of it's field in gameplay, worldbuilding, and puzzle implementation. Constantly, players will find themselves pulling on red twine and the result is always satisfying. RNG is certainly not always your friend, though.
Blue Prince is the video game equivalent of a mosquito bite. It's an itch that's fun to scratch, but you can feel a bit sore when you start ...
A wonderful new take on the rougelike genre, adding puzzle elements is a genius idea. I lost hours and hours just building a layout, just too call it a day and go again. Progress however slow is just that shot of dopamine you need to keep you going for another day
You can lose yourself very easily inside of Blue Prince. If you aren’t immediately turned off by it, you’re pretty much guaranteed to obsess over it.
Blue Prince from developer Dogubomb and publisher Raw Fury is everything it is cracked up to be. It’s easy to pick up and play, thick with strategy and play-driven decisions, and simple to come back to repeatedly in the face of failure thanks to some amazing gameplay elements that were methodically built for its design.
Blue Prince is a puzzle game shrouded with mystery, featuring over 40+ craftable floorplans, many permanent upgrades to improve your runs onward, and reaching the mysterious 46th room to claim your inheritance to the manor.
I cannot overstate how much Blue Prince blew me away. With an addicting gameplay loop and an expansive mystery that appears bottomless, it's the kind of game that makes you want to nuke your memory of playing it so that you can experience it all over again. Every time you think you've surely seen it all, it will prove you wrong with a new challenge that'll test your powers of observation like never before. The sense of discovery you'll feel time and time again is nothing short of phenomenal, making this debut game from Dogubomb something truly special.
Blue Prince is not just a game - it's an invitation to engage in a layered, active process of interpretation. It defies conventions, rewards patience, and values the player's critical intelligence. It won't appeal to everyone, but those who accept its challenge will come out changed. A rare, bold, and necessary experiment.

Blue Prince is among the most creative and intriguing games released recently. Although its randomness can lead to moments of frustration, it is precisely this unpredictability that fuels the player's curiosity to continue exploring the mansion's secrets. The sense of discovery present in even the smallest details and the achievement of solving its mysteries contribute to an engaging and surprisingly addictive gameplay.

Blue Prince’s mysterious manor is just begging to be explored, providing a puzzling experience unlike anything else in the gaming space.
Blue Prince is a fascinating game. The premise is enticing for those who like card-based board games, and the bits of randomization help the game feel difficult without being outright unfair about it. The slow trickle of story information might seem frustrating at first, but it helps give one motivation to keep going, especially when you solve a puzzle and everything starts to fall into place. Those who love environmental puzzle titles will get some real joy out of Blue Prince.
Blue Prince surprises and captivates even those who dislike roguelites and puzzle games, proving that curiosity and great design can sometimes shatter any gaming prejudice.

On the blueprint, Blue Prince is a simple title: You have a large mansion in which each door hides a decision. Choose between the three room options and create a path to the goal before the day ends and you have to start all over again. Its roguelike elements hide behind this simple proposal an ambitious puzzle game that can become unhinged, although if you manage to connect with it, it will drive you crazy with love.

Blue Prince is a unique puzzle game that presents a perfect mix of luck and strategy that'll make you keep coming back for just one more run. 👣
Blue Prince was an amazing puzzle/strategy that has me continuing to solve the mystery inside it. I love the clever ideas and puzzles that are either in your face or hidden away. Having me screenshot everything I come across to only use it when I feel like I have hit a wall is fun to me. It has scratched an itch that Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright left. I highly recommend this game to puzzle lovers and people who think RNG needs a good spanking after the abuse it put us through. I give Blue Prince the Thumb Culture Platinum Award.
Even if you aren’t a fan of roguelikes, Blue Prince feels much more like an elaborate puzzle box. There’s a satisfying feeling in making it further than you did before, finding clues to a puzzle, then stumbling onto another piece of that puzzle a few runs later. Blue Prince is certainly one of the most interesting games of this year. It takes a fairly novel concept in a roguelike puzzle game, adding elements of deckbuilding and base crafting. It all comes together for a gameplay experience unlike anything else out there today.
