Blue Prince Reviews
Blue Prince is an exquisitely designed game that stays in your brain between play sessions. It is the video game equivalent of a Rubix Cube where every move you make can shape your path to success. Do not let this gem pass you by.
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
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.
Blue Prince is a puzzle game for all time, and it deserves a place among the greats of the genre. Its design is masterful, its vision clear, and every moment spent within Mt. Holly Estate feels purposeful, crafted with care and a quiet confidence. I can easily see it becoming a touchstone for puzzle design in the years ahead.
Blue Prince is a genius roguelike puzzle game full of exciting mysteries to solve and rewarding challenges to overcome.
Blue Prince's ever-shifting halls and rich web of enticing mysteries easily secure its place as an all-time puzzle great.
I wanted more strange possibilities from the spaces I lived around. With Blue Prince I get that. What an extraordinary game this is.
So grab a pen and paper. Lower the lights. Sit back, relax, and take your time. Draft your rooms, count your steps, and let the mysteries of the mansion slowly unfold to reveal one of the best puzzle games in years.
It will delight you, thrill you, and probably make you run crying to the internet for answers you can’t seem to tease out on your own. I’ve never played anything like it, but I won’t be surprised if we see more takes on the roguelike puzzler in the future because of it.
"I'm still finding more that intrigues me as I continue to place rooms and expand my blueprints."
Blue Prince is everything I want in an indie game: a unique, creative idea brought to life with expert execution. Its combination of roguelikes and puzzle games feels effortless, with each aspect boosting my enjoyment of the other.
Blue Prince is a masterfully intricate roguelike puzzle game that reveals increasingly elaborate details and interlocking systems as you peel back its layers.
A superbly mazy mystery, as atmospheric as Gone Home and as intricate as Outer Wilds.
Blue Prince is the kind of engrossing puzzle game that will change your brain chemistry.
Blue Prince is an excellent, intricate, and intriguing puzzle game that will have you thinking about solutions even when not playing it. While there's some minor foibles, coming across a puzzle and scrolling through your notes for an answer from previous runs is very satisfying. Blue Prince is one of the best puzzle game available.
Despite that and an ambient soundtrack that can feel dull, Blue Prince's formula and its abundance of secrets are undeniably engaging. Even if it takes over 100 days to get to the fortune in the 46th room, this is a game that will have players feeling rich regardless.
Thoughtful design details and puzzles will keep you returning to an atmospherically uninhabited family mansion to search for a hidden room and family secrets
Blue Prince is an exceptional puzzle game, and one that we didn’t necessarily ask for in its roguelike form. While the game provides you with a clear objective at the start, it quickly becomes apparent that there is a lot more than one final objective to keep you coming back to Blue Prince, even after finding the 46th room. Once in a while, a game comes along and changes the gaming landscape for the foreseeable future. With the arrival of Blue Prince, I expect to see more games coming in a similar mold over the next few years. While some will hit and some will miss, I doubt many will have the same lasting impact as Blue Prince.
Blue Prince is quite an interesting game that brings innovations to a stagnant genre, but at the same time suffers from a whole set of shortcomings.
