The classic game “Prince of Persia” has been revived with a new entry in the series, “Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown”. Despite its long hiatus from the gaming world, the release of the latest installment has brought mixed feelings among fans. The game, designed for the PS5, has been met with both excitement and disappointment.
One of the major letdowns for fans is the fact that “Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown” does not directly relate to the beloved “Sands of Time” series, which has left some die-hard supporters feeling disappointed. The game shifts away from the 3D action gameplay that the series is most famous for, taking a “return to origin” approach with side-scrolling gameplay, reminiscent of the classic platform game that started it all.
Despite this departure from the modern gameplay style, the game still features mechanisms and gameplay that allow players to manipulate time and space, adding a refreshing element to the classic formula. The movements are smooth, and the combos are described as refreshing and feel great in the hand. The game also boasts an enhancement system, allowing players to increase their health points and weapon damage by collecting designated props within the game.
One of its most praised features is the freedom to adjust difficulty levels, with a “guide mode” to mark the location of the next mission target on the map, catering to players who may struggle with the game’s challenges. The guided mode can be turned on and off at any time, providing a user-friendly experience for both experienced and novice gamers.
Despite its impressive gameplay, the game’s visuals have been a point of contention. Adopting an American cartoon rendering style, the game’s graphics have been criticized for looking dated, with some performances feeling awkward. However, the game has received praise for its commendable dubbing and the inclusion of English and Persian voiceovers, adding depth to the game’s immersive experience.
Although “Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown” offers a solid gaming experience, its pricing has been a sticking point for potential players. Priced at 368 Hong Kong dollars, it faces stiff competition from other games of similar or even better quality on platforms like Steam. However, given Ubisoft’s history of offering discounts on their games, it may become a more enticing option at a reduced price.
Overall, “Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown” offers a refreshing take on the classic series, but its pricing and departure from the modern 3D action style may give players pause. As the game continues to find its place in the market, it remains to be seen how it will be received by fans of the franchise.
