The choice presented in this game is too jarring and not as good as the previous one. The sands of time was good for its platforming, fun puzzle and the banter with the princess. The warriors within, though a hard game, was enjoyable after understanding how the combat works along with the fun plot twist. This game, however, although the platforming and puzzle are quite decent, the quality is lopsided, unbalanced …

Well ........ to begin with, this was one of my childhood favourites. Back then I completed this game about 3-5 times or so. There's nothing to not like about the game. Every camera angle, every interactive button works for what is to come. I played this after about 10 years and on the hardest setting. The traps, puzzles, historical design and absolute cinema of a story just makes me wonder how long did it take for …

By far my favourite game of the Prince of Persia Trilogy as it offers some balance between fairy-tale climate of Sands of Time and darker, combat-focused atmosphere of Warrior Within. The first plus of the Two Thrones is that we are actually traversing through Persia, not some imaginary island. I like that the authors came back to Persian graphical and musical motives. It would be a shame not to use them. …

The game is good, it is definitely a hit of nostalgia. Be aware, the camera angles, clunky controls are still here and are as annoying as ever, but not as bad as the first two games. There is a game breaking glitch right near the end during the 'middle tower level', make sure you watch this video to get past it so you don't get stuck repeating the same thing over and over - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDWo4oyfXDo

An injection of nostalgia into my heart. I remembered the moment when I was in one place, with 1 hp, fighting with 3 archers, and was able to defeat them standing in a block and trying to make them shoot each other, and when I finished off the last archer, I was just over the moon with happiness

60 of 374 · most liked firstEvery now and again I reflect on our Charlotte's Web GBA game we produced at Backbone. It was an action platform game that had Wilbur leaping around on platforms. We referred to it internally as "Pig of Persia," in honor of Prince of Persia, the game we absurdly based it on.
positive · AI labelView post →I really appreciated how player-friendly Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown was, it respected your time and had a ton of options for customising difficulty. Also I’m glad Silksong doesn’t have any of that and is just a huge jerk of a game.

I'm glad it's highlighted on Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown in particular, because that was the first game I'd bought from Ubisoft in years, and the extra launcher deterred me from considering buying any of their other games for a long while still. EA still has launchers on older games like It Takes Two and A Way Out and Dragon Age II and Inquisition that create obstacles for LInux compatibility and…
