Good with some drawbacks

I like the game. It aged very well and the two protagonists have a great dynamic. I also like the fact that most dialogues are optional, you don't have to Elika. Not so good: The flying is a pain (in my opinion). Why is Elika flying such weird routes? Is she drunk? The fights: I appreciate that we cannot really die but fighting is so tedious: Block, counterblock, attack, block and so on. Lot's of quick time events in the fights as well. My poor mouse: In the last fight I had to trigger the attack button so fast that she is still in shock. The ending-ending was sort of a bummer. The prince should be smarter.

A Game That Will Stay With You

Great story, and love the ending! That said, it is understandable that there would be people who'd miss the gameplay of the older Prince of Persia games such as the combat, in which in the previous PoP games the prince would be fighting multiple enemies at once whereas in this reboot you'll never be facing more than one enemy at once. And throughout most of the journey you'll be spending your time parkouring from one area to another together with your partner, Elika, whose company I really enjoy as I really love the chemistry between the two! Only thing I hate about this game is the lag I experience in the main menu right after opening the game. Does anyone know how to fix this? This is the only time when I would be experiencing lag.

Fun but lacks a challenge

The game is fun. I started playing and just kept on for almost 8 hours. I only stop now because I should REALLY go to sleep. It is a bit too easy, though. Everything - the jumps, the fights, the puzzles. It is way too easy, even for me who prefers easy games. It also seems really small. Every area so far seems tiny. The game just makes you replay every area two or three times to collect some orbs which makes it look longer than it really is. Anyway, I like the game, and not just because of the memory of the old thrilogy.

Nice game

Another take on the classic Prince of Persia, this time with beautiful cell-shaded visuals, great looking environments and packing what is in my opinion one of the best game soundtracks ever created, made by Inon Zur & Stuart Chatwood. Running, jumping through and exploring the beautifully created environments is quite satisfying as well as purifying each map node, however, if you're completionist, there is a fair amount of backtracking involved since some of the paths are inaccessible until you get the required skill. As other reviews mention, combat is somewhat long-dwindled, even with standard enemies, but there's not too many of them. Unfortunately, Ubisoft being Ubisoft, this game has DLC that is supposed to contain, among other things, the epilogue for the story, but it was sadly never released on the PC because of "business reasons".
