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.

Blue Prince, thanks to its authorial flair, reminds us of a way of making video games that we thought had long since been forgotten by developers.

Whether you love the genre or not, if you speak English and are looking for a different experience, you should definitely try Blue Prince; you might never want to leave Mount Molly.

Blue Prince, the title from Dogubomb, is much more spectacular than we expected, and thanks to its original mechanics, it has positioned itself as the new benchmark for puzzle video games. Each completed puzzle feeds into others that are even bigger than the one surrounding the mystery of Room 46. The learning curve adapts to our pace and insight, and that's what makes the game so appealing.

Even now, I want to go start another run of Blue Prince. I have ideas floating around in my head and if I just draft the right room I’ll be on my way to unlocking more of the mysteries of this mansion. I’ve had more than a few late nights since starting this title, telling myself that I was on my last run but then instantly starting another once it ended. That’s what a great roguelike does to players and Blue Prince is certainly that, as well as a great puzzle game. Blue Prince constantly forced me to learn new things and work towards a wide variety of goals in a way which forced me to change my entire way of thinking about similar titles, even changing how I think about progression. It’s a masterpiece that players should run to play.
Blue Prince captivates you from the first moment, giving you ingenious puzzles and addictive roguelike exploration in a mysterious mansion.

To say that Blue Prince opened my mind would be disingenuous, but it certainly did challenge me in ways I hadn’t expected. This isn’t a game for everyone. Blue Prince demands that you meet it on its own terms, and while that can be a tall ask for a majority of players, I can promise you that it’ll be worth it.
Blue Prince is a never-ending rabbit hole, where solving one mystery reveals eight more to take care of. Its complexity might be weighed down by requiring a good grasp of English vocabulary or frustrating RNG. Or you might just lose your sanity as you attempt later puzzles.
