Mostly Stands the Test of Time.
I grew up playing these games. I actually remember buying Sands of Time at launch with my own money as a kid and here I am buying it again as an adult, though it's much cheaper now. So how do I think it holds up? Let me start buying saying the game runs fine on my modern computer. No tinkering required out of the box unless you want to get higher resolutions or use a third party controller emulator. Out of the box I had no troubles using keyboard and mouse or setting up my wired Xbox 360 gamepad. Annoyingly, to save and interact with menus you have to use your mouse regardless of whether or not you have a gamepad set up. It's not too bad but worth mentioning. Let's be real. If you buy this game, it's for the time mechanics/platforming puzzls. And that I can say holds up. It's as satisfying as ever to survey the area and move around the environment. The camera is a bit iffy. It loves to fight with you. It frequently does this awful slow mo "look how cool you are running on a wall" perspective and that kind of take me out of it a bit, but otherwise for a game this old it holds up. What you are probably not buying this game for is combat and there is a lot of it. It's a lot of flash and no substance sadly. Using your time mechanics in combat often feels like an uneccessary after thought and I find that simply jumping over enemy heads and slashing them to be the best way win fights. It feels like Arkham Asylum combat before Arkham Asylum did it, so it's boring at best, tedious at worst. I find it hard to reccomend to anyone who doesn't have nostalgia goggles like me. If you haven't played it and want fun cinematic adventure with some fun platforming, give it a shot. It's a relic from a by gone era. When Ubisoft made games that were meant to fun rather than microtransaction machines, and for that alone it's worth going back in time.
