I like it too. But I’m going to be honest. The freedom we had in the magnificent 3d original was truly amazing and I miss that freedom here. I still find that 15+ year old game superior. I don’t like being restricted going left to right for this type of adventure. Fun. Good combat graphics, sound etc….But I wanted to open up that beautiful world I saw behind our beloved character.
@@GisherJohn24have you tried sands of time recently? Because I have and it did not hold up the least for me. If you didn't maybe nostalgia... And of you did and still like it... Even better.
I personally really enjoyed it...loved the puzzles and platforming they laid out. The combact for me is a step up vs games like hollow knight and ori. It provides more combos and juggles along with great response. I definitely did get invested in the story as well. I dont everyone to like it like me but i will say if you like the prince of persia or a big fan of metriodvanias i would recommend this.
Looks great and a nice challenge for metroidvania lovers. I’ll take this over that “remaster” any day. People hating just to hate because side scrolling equals mobile game apparently lmao
Soon as I heard of this game, knowing nothing but what it looks like and it's gameplay, I knew I would like it. Also, couldn't resist it, since they game me the option. First playthrough... Immortal.
Good review! The demo has been a fun time. Can't wait to play the actual game. Hopefully we can get a new MetroidVania genre/title from this universe every few years or so moving forward and the support from us POP fans helps make the direction of the Remake and new 3D titles stellar. Ubisoft REALLY did terrific work on Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown! 🤙🏽
Very nice review. Thank you! I was pretty disappointed when I first heard what type of game this would be, since I really don't like Metroidvania type of games, especially all the backtracking and stuff. But well, I was curious so I finished the demo on both PC and PS5 and both times I didn't want to stop to play. Final result: I pre-ordered the game on PS5 and I really hope I'll like the full game as much as I liked the demo.
Tomiris or Tahamreish was the ruler of the Massagites and he was the one who is said to have defeated Cyrus the Great in the war and killed him, that is, he was the enemy of Iran, how is it that the enemy of Iran has become the queen of Iran in this game?
Are you not aware of the remake they're making? There was even a trailer that came out a few years ago. I mean, I don't blame you for not knowing, the trailer looked terrible. And why would the remove the PoP feom the name? This game takes place in the universe, and has a prince of Persia in it.
What happened to his time rewind power? Looks like a decent game but when I think of Prince of Persia I always think of his time manipulating abilities. Did they just not show them on this review?
Great review👍 and a great game from Ubisoft! I'll definitely play this, although it doesn't feature the titular prince. Plus, I like that they let you have the Warrior Within outfit in this game!
@@infamousicee6009 Before or after the arabian invasion? And it's not just the skin. The hair style too. The game is a fiction ofcourse, but some accuracy is important for me. For example i love "300", but the look of the persian king...
Holy crap. Coming from someone who decidedly disliked the Rings of Power for ruining lore, PoP is appropriate and right on. Persians are dark skinned, like the lad in this game.
@@ananomaloussmell5043 You are missing the point. The question is not if the people living in modern Iran are dark skinned. The question is were the people living in the Persian empire dark skinned and I believe they weren't.
You can hit once then hold attack for a nice mix up. You can power attack. There is an amulet that lets you add more attacks to the string. There are combo air attacks and ground attacks. There are special moves.
My only complaint is it looks like a mobile game,iknow they're going for the classic side scroll but they could've atleast made the graphics better. I mean it is a next gen game right?makes me just want to rent it rather that owning it..
It was made to run great on all consoles including the switch. In what world is every game “next gen?” If you like Metroidvanias with exploration and great gameplay, this looks like it. If you just want to stare and complain about graphics then there you go.
You mean the remake? It's going through deveploment hell, just last year the developers changed for the game, and apparently they're rebooting the whole project, so don't expect any news on it for the next 2-3 years.
@@theobell2002 First of all gamers are not homogeneous group. Some people like certain things, some dont. And secondly, stories about remake are old, fans expected it, and all of the sudden they resign, but release this game instead. And it looks very different from Sands trilogy, and has very strange graphical style, hence disappointment.
They should have called it "Prince of wakanda :the lost vibranium" 😂 its like playing a game called the "Prince of Africa" and the Main character is white Scandinavian ...
The Persian Empire at one time spanned as far as Northeast Africa to Greece and even India. Just admit you hate black people and don't hide behind anything else
@@onehitsword6800 good about time someone gave Sony something to think about...they've taken their domination for granted, and for me the PS5 catalogue isn't even as good as the PS2..
Glad they made the lead character black and not Persian. Love after the last few years being lectured about appropriation just to watch the ones waving the fingers doing the very same thing and shamelessly at that. The game side of things it looks like a ripoff of CastleVania and Metroid.
You’re being just as annoying as the appropriation crowd. The game never panders so why are you? Also it’s literally a metroidvania wtf are you on about?
Played the demo not really digging the combat. It seems like an average hack and slash game, not bad but not great either. Although i can say if you love your metroidvania type games then this one is for you.
The PoP Lost Crown will be the 1st Ubisoft game i've bought in over a decade
Same
They still do better than activison and ea lol

I just finished playing this game and had so much fun!
Love these comments acting like prince of Persia wasn’t originally 2-d. sands of time was already the 2nd reboot for the series get over it
Great game. I consider it to be among my top 3 favorite metroidvanias of all time, amongst Ori Will o the Wisps and Hollow Knight.
This game wasn't really on my radar until now. It'll be a definite purchase when it goes on sale in the future.
It’s a definite purchase without the sale my friend.
I got it without a sale
You do you. Im not trying to diss you at all. But its worth the regular price. This game is soooo much fun
Looks really good and plays quite nice. Can’t wait for the full release next week

Ubisoft actually made a game I want to play.
They frequently make games I like to play. I don't like the narrative that Ubisoft doesn't make anything good or unique when that clearly isn't true.
I played rainbow 6 on n64 and it was pretty fun. I also liked rayman for ps1.
@@PlanetShlorpian Far Cry 4 is a masterpiece. Rayman and Beyond Good & Evil are classics too.
@@LeadMe2TheBliss Immortals Fenyx Rising was also a nice unique change of pace from the typical Ubisoft open world formula.
Hope the great reception of this game expedites the much anticipated remake of sands of time.
honestly this plays better
Prince of persia the lost crown is definitely a gem that dropped for the month of January especially after my birthday 1/13.🥂😎
You forgot to mention that this is the first Prince of Persia that you can actually play in Persian

Can't wait for this game, and "Tales of Kenzera : ZAU".
Finally someone talked about it. I literally preordered it after the world premiere on the game awards, it looks really nice.
Yes your right about the moment it does feel heavy was excepting it to be more fluent

Now, all they need to before I purchase it is releasing it on Steam. (Probably next year)
2:28 why does the screen go purple here? what is it indicating?
That u got hit ANd your hp went down
nope, it indicates theres fast travel nearby you can unlock.
Just finished the demo. Holy cow! This game is phenomenal!!!
Where did you download the demo from?

Really considering this now it's on sale ❤
I wasn't too sure about this being a side scroller but I loved the demo and all the reviews are excellent. Ordered
Good to see a proper review instead of the ones that are just a summary of the game's events and spoil everything.
Reminds me of those Disney games for snes, but I played pc versions.
They gave a 9
We really need a remake of the trilogy, not this.
P.S. Respect the franchise and players, remove "Prince of Persia" from the name.
Are you not aware of the remake they're making? There was even a trailer that came out a few years ago. I mean, I don't blame you for not knowing, the trailer looked terrible.
And why would the remove the PoP feom the name? This game takes place in the universe, and has a prince of Persia in it.
coming next year on steam , cant wait to play it
Hyped A.F!!!!!
next week you mean?
An highlander game like this should be done. But the cartoon series highlander story.
What happened to his time rewind power? Looks like a decent game but when I think of Prince of Persia I always think of his time manipulating abilities. Did they just not show them on this review?
Your playing as Sargon not the Prince. However I guess twords the midpoint of the game you start really getting some of the wacky time based stuff
Not to spoil anything but there’s a kind of power that if you liked the Sands of Time mechanic you’re gonna LOVE this
A Persian with Afro hair nice one Ubisoft inclusivity at its best.
Lol, that's not an afro fool. Those are twists in his hair.
3:28 aim your arrow up there lol. then just jump up to ceiling and you'll collect the shards thru the wall
Great review👍 and a great game from Ubisoft! I'll definitely play this, although it doesn't feature the titular prince. Plus, I like that they let you have the Warrior Within outfit in this game!
I want a Moon Knight game like this game
Wasn’t considering this game at all. Looks better than expected though. May pick it up eventually.
I might pick it up later on sale but I'll check out the demo tonight.
ALADIN frome Sega, for PS5. BTW game looks awesome, can`t wait to play.
They're change pop genre's but this looks amazing
My problem with this game is that the Prince of Persia looks more like Prince of Africa.
So you’re admitting that you’re a racist…interesting🤔
You do realize there is dark skinned Persian people, right?

Hope combo grows more than the 3 hit shown over and over
in the demo there is an amulet for a fifth hit after the 4.
You can hit once then hold attack for a nice mix up. You can power attack. There is an amulet that lets you add more attacks to the string. There are combo air attacks and ground attacks. There are special moves.
Did the version you played have DRM?
Nostalgia hits hard
Ubisoft is salivating about the idea of another annual release
Man these comments are sure something.
My only complaint is it looks like a mobile game,iknow they're going for the classic side scroll but they could've atleast made the graphics better. I mean it is a next gen game right?makes me just want to rent it rather that owning it..
It is a Switch game that they decided to release Multiplatform
I was thinking the same thing
It was made to run great on all consoles including the switch. In what world is every game “next gen?” If you like Metroidvanias with exploration and great gameplay, this looks like it. If you just want to stare and complain about graphics then there you go.
Persians are now black with dreads😂
Would it be a problem if they were YTwashed like the old POP trilogy🤔
@@troydixon5304 Turns out, U WUZ NOT KANGZ

What a load of rubbish what happened to the prince of Persia remaster anybody?

Good news: it’s good
Bad news: Ubisoft will reuse this formula for their next 30 games
I just got it for the PlayStation five for 1497
Ubisoft has bought a lot of reviews
Why doesn't it use HDR
It's SDR only
Even on ps5 theirs no HDR only SDR
0:53 DEVELOPER!!😂
Worth it.. don't stop at this now ubisoft
apple ii FTW
This looks boring as hell.
Disappointment. Give us Sands of time trilogy continuation, or remake.
There is a remake coming, but it's going through deveploment issues, so you'll have to wait a while.

Maybe it’s just me but the combat kind of feels like I’m playing smash bros
Epic store exclusives piss me off.
No way id pay 50 bux , 20 maybe , waiting for the sands of time remake , way better combat.
combat looks bad. No timer? IDK.
So good to see ubisoft get a W
this looks awful

The main character isn't the prince, he's an immortal tasked with saving the prince of Persia.
Least racist gamer.
I only care to know how this game is clearly nonsensical and irrelevant to the Pop Ubisoft trilogy, even though it uses its name.
Doesn't matter it looks awesome
And Sands of Time had nothing to do with the original games. Get over yourself
Don't care I played the demo and it's fantastic I'm definitely picking it up
How is it irrelevant? It takes place in the same universe, and includes a prince of Persia?
The PoP Ubi trilogy had nothing to do with the two original PoP games either.
Sony should consider buying Ubisoft, the many IP they have would benefit Both PlayStation and Sony Movies
Not a good idea, there are few independent developers as it is .. Ubisoft are one of the few veterans left
@@yuvraj01 the way the gaming market is, If Sony doesn't buy at least one. Microsoft will over take them with acquisitions.
