WTMG’s Leo Faria: “I had high hopes for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, but it still managed to surpass them. More than just a risky, experimental revival of a dormant franchise, it basically showcases that Prince of Persia works magnificently well as a metroidvania, almost in a “why haven’t you done this before” kind of way. Between its unique art style, tough-as-nails bosses, excellent level design, delightful bosses, and challenging platforming, there is a lot to do and explore in this delightful platformer. The year 2024 is off to a good start, with one of Ubisoft’s better surprises in recent memory, as well as a mandatory metroidvania for genre enthusiasts. Good enough to make me forget about Silksong being more absent than rain on the Atacama.”
