Prince of Persia

I played this game long time ago and had a blast with it. I like more games to open world like this one where it keeps it enough to experience the game as a whole within the story and gameplay. I hope to see other games developers try the same thing in this game to tell a story. It's simple gameplay where anyone can have a challenge and fun parkour game to jump and fight to next level.

The game looks great...plays fine (though it took me quite some time to get used to the controls...) but the gameplay & story were very poorly made, in comparison to my previous Prince of Persia games. To summarise the game - it is a platformer. You unlock lads in the world, and then collect the globes, which will help you unlock more places. And again, and again, and so on. So, if you're really into easy platformers, and it is your jam - then look no further, and get this game. The fighting is very simplistic - you hit, you parry, and repeat. Any enemy that you bring to the edge can be overthrown (in most battles). It became too boring, too quickly. And soundtrack and the story - really did not hit me. It just feels like this game was purely made for children or otherwise, the fans of platformers. It is a nice game but too simple and blunt.

I completed this game back in the day on my Xbox 360 and I must say that all the criticism was dumb. Yes, there's a checkpoint at most platforms, but in the end it's like saving after every jump, which can be done in basically 90% of the games. The story is great, the combat is very nice and the platforming is also good, don't miss this opportunity!

The graphics are great and the story is interesting, but the combat I can't abide by. I get it's supposed to be like the original PoP on DOS with the timing based puzzle like combat, but as someone who prefers mindless hack and slashers it really hit me the wrong way. Also not very good keyboard+mouse layout.

The problem with this game is not the lack of death. For me it was not a problem. The two main problems of this game are: -It doesn't have an interesting story (it probably has the worst story of any Prince of Persia game since Prince of Persia 3D). The characters are underdeveloped and the dialogues sometimes seem written by a little child. -The game is in fact a succession of quick time events, specially the fighting, which makes the game a quite repetitive one. If you love the saga you may buy it, but you won't find here anything close to the good old Sands of Time saga.
