Blue Prince is as peculiar of a game as its protagonist’s deceased relative. An odd puzzle/adventure game with progression and pacing that often get in the way of your success for the sole benefit of artificially keeping the journey going. If you do happen to resonate with it, you’ll find a good distraction to poke at for hours, one that’s best suited for multiple sittings and plenty of sleuthing both in and outside of it. It’s the type of thing you’ll have to sleep on and maybe might find the next solution, or just want to chuck your chosen gaming system out the closest window.

There has never been anything quite like “Blue Prince”. The game combines “Myst”, Escape Rooms, “The Crazy Labyrinth” and roguelike elements into a fascinating addictive package. Day by day, room by room, I delve deeper into the world of Mount Holly Mansion. Everything puzzle/roguelike-game that comes after it will have to measure up to this magnum opus. For me, it is already the game of the year.

But this is also part of Blue Prince and its return to a slower, more thoughtful way of playing video games, which pushes you to keep pen and paper handy, invites you to stop for several minutes to observe the setting, to think carefully about the positioning of each individual room and the actual functioning of the floor plan, and above all asks you to often abandon the path you are stuck on to explore new directions, accepting the idea of ​​losing and finding yourself facing yet another dead end. Too much for today's market?

Blue Prince offers strategic depth, but its overreliance on luck can turn joy into drudgery. Whether it’s worth your time depends entirely on your luck.

Blue Prince is an extraordinary achievement in puzzle games and its scale is incomprehensible and unlike anything I've seen in this genre before. This game is more than just a journey of an heir claiming his inheritance.

Despite frustrations with the random elements of gameplay, Blue Prince presents an experience that is unique, memorable, and as ever-shifting as the rooms of Mt. Holly. It throws you into a mystery full of mysteries and will ask you to take enough notes to create your own conspiracy board.

Dogubomb have created not just one of the best games of 2025, but also a title that feels like it will be discovered for years to come – and even when players reach that 46th room, there will be other aspects of obscure puzzles and notes scattered around that yearn to be solved. This is a game that will absolutely be a GOTY for many, many people in 2025 – very much a huge recommendation from us here at GF and absolutely deserving of our rare 10/10 rating.

Blue Prince made me feel like a genius. It also made me feel like an idiot. The two experiences are intrinsically linked; the stumbling bewilderment making the moments of breakthrough all the more brilliant. If you’ve even a passing interest in puzzles, play Blue Prince. And do so resisting the urge to look up any of its answers. Because provided you’re willing to take notes, your perseverance will, tile by tile, piece together the solutions to one of the finest puzzle games I’ve ever played.

Blue Prince is astonishing, refreshing, and its rabbit hole goes so deep I haven’t been able to find the bottom yet — despite rolling credits weeks ago.
