Prince of Persia®: The Sands of Time

Feels like a chore, unengaging story, unchallenging yet lenghhy combat, the controls are a bit clunky and the puzzles are generally unimaginative. And the voice acting, ugh. As far as I'm concerned there's nothing good about this game. For a goddamn action game, to have the combat be so boring is a major flaw. It's nowhere near challenging yet you're constantly stuck in it because the game decides to throw more and more of the same dumb enemies at you. And in the rare event you misplay you can just rewind it, nothing is at stakes. And when there are no stakes why bother? Well, the story is not going out of its way to give you a reason to keep playing, that's for sure. Prince of persia 1&2 were bloody hard and downright sadistic, missing a step due to bad jump timing would have you restart the level all over, and while the combat AI was easy to beat it could also murder you brutally if you messed up. And the whole 60 minutes time limit added another layer to it. Sure, trial and error and retries are a chore in their own way, no doubt. And Sands of time got rid of those chores: by taking a 180° approach and getting rid of any fun in the process. What you're left with is an unchallenging game that feels like downtime But worst of all: Unskippable Cinematics/Cutscenes. So yeah, don't waste your time or money.

other than that its complete bullshit, you cant control the camera it goes to the most inconvienant angles whenever it can enemies are impossible youre never given a marker and the first boss is complete and utter bullshit 3 guards that surround you and kill you in seconds fuck this game
