Whether it’s the Sands of Time or the Forgotten Sands, Prince of Persia is known for breathing new life into action-adventure games. Set in a mythical Persian world, the game sees players take on the role of Sargon, a young, gifted Persian warrior with powerful abilities. As chaos descends upon the kingdom with Prince Ghassan kidnapped, Sargon will have to travel to Mount Qaf, a beautiful place that has been reduced to ruins. Curses and hostility are all you’ll encounter as you explore the different regions.

For Prince of Persia fans, it’s a no-brainer that you should get this game as soon as possible. However, if you’re not a biased fan, this Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown review will help you with any doubts you may have about buying this game. After playing the game in Guided and Exploration mode, here are my two cents after exploring a large portion of Mount Qaf.

Set for release on January 15, 2024 via Early Access, Prince of Persia the Lost Crown will take you on an ecstatic journey of exploration, mind-bending puzzles, an easy-to-master combat system, and twists and turns. It’s the first major entry in the Prince of Persia series since The Forgotten Sands in 2010. Whether you’ve played platformers before or not, The Lost Crown lets you traverse multiple landscapes while bending a bit of time and space.

My first playthrough was quite immersive and what impressed me was how easy it was to pick up the story and get a feel for it. In addition to the gameplay scenes, there are moments in the game where your characters use special powers and the graphics are phenomenal. The attention to detail is exciting and probably one of the main reasons why the game shines even brighter.
