Review: Prince of Persia- The Lost Crown
In terms of combat and setting design, the most recent entry in the popular series is an enormous Metroidvania that has everything needed to compete with games like Hollow Knight and Metroid Dread, which are among the greatest in the category. It really is that excellent. Remembering that the game is being developed by Ubisoft’s Montpellier branch, which produced one of the greatest platformers ever made, Rayman Legends, helps to explain why it’s so amazing. The Lost Crown is a wonderful journey that the creators have created using all of the platforming expertise they have amassed from that renowned game.
Sargon is one of ‘The Immortals’ that you take control over. The royal family’s security is within the purview of this group. A celebration is held following an experience when they believe they have vanquished evil. However, Prince Ghassan’s kidnapping brutally halts this action. To save the prince, the Immortals immediately pursue the kidnappers. The Lost Crown’s tale is a case of thirteen out of twelve. There are some surprises along the way, but the plot of the game won’t force you to play it through. In terms of playability, it’s an entirely other tale.
Prince of Persia has been a 3D action game with a focus on platforming puzzles since Sands of Time in 2003. By reinventing the Prince of Persia formula and presenting it in a sidescrolling format once more, Montpellier has gotten around this. It gets closer to its beginnings as a result. This is incredibly effective in defining what may be a new chapter in Prince of Persia’s history as something distinct in the present.
There comes a point when, if and when it happens, you will realise that maintaining the same quality in the remaining components of the gear would be more challenging than refining the visuals, which we reiterate are the weak point of the current version. Even just matching it would be a success. That’s when you realise Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is much more than just a surprise. It is among the genre’s pinnacles and a game that will always be referred to.
It’s immediately apparent that combat in this game is far superior than in previous titles in the category. In Metroidvanias, combat is frequently not all that spectacular. It frequently features hack-and-slash-style scenarios where your arsenal of assaults is quite restricted. Conversely, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has an extremely intricate fighting system that allows you to create a wide variety of combos with just your basic techniques. This even extends to the point where you may include defensive methods into a combo. You will eventually get access to new abilities that will give you even more combo options throughout battles. You will also be able to use finishing moves. Additionally, you may perform a special attack when your meter is full, which you can fill by striking foes. It is advised that you move cautiously since you restart at zero if you are struck.
Deep into the game, you may get by very well just by repeatedly pressing the attack button, but there are times when the game will ask you to play more carefully. By taking part in the valuable training, you quickly discover how much there is to think about and study, including launchers and air juggles, defensive manoeuvres, and combinations that make use of all of your unique abilities.
When you start to link these combinations together in a smart way, you can become a master. When you first see you can charge an attack, make a double of yourself, release the attack, then move back to your double, and release it once again, you begin to see the depth of this that is only constrained by your creativity in terms of how you can combine your weaponry.
The combat gels most well during the game’s numerous, taxing boss confrontations. These can be really difficult, and they’ll frequently serve as a sobering reality check on your level of system expertise. When you face a boss, it’s normal to realise you have to quit and get stronger by improving your life and gear.

A fantastic Metroidvania, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown revitalises the series in novel ways and becomes better the more you play it. The thrilling action and well-designed platforming combine to create a game that is really hard to put down. In addition to the sheer joy of the game, its compelling narrative and superbly spoken cast of characters enhance the whole experience.
