I paid money for the game but I can't get it to run. I've installed mods from the community and followed instructions but have been unsuccessful. I know other people have got it to work so give it a shot if you want. I'm grown and have a job, a family, and driveway to plow. I don't have time to waste another couple hrs trouble shooting just to play a game when I have 100 others. Guess I'm just too old. Need …

⭐ **10/10 — A Masterpiece From My Childhood** *Prince of Persia: Warrior Within* is more than just a game to me. It is a piece of my childhood, a game that left a permanent mark on me and one of the titles I will never forget. I remember playing this game when I was younger and being completely fascinated by its atmosphere, combat, music, environments, story, and especially the feeling of constantly being hunted by …

First of all, make sure to grab the 'Fix Compilation' on ModDB. It, well, fixes everything, gives you widescreen, 4k res, controller support and so on. Without this you might as well give up playing this PC version, as it crashes all the time. With the fix I had zero crashes from start to finish. What a seriously awesome and cool game, and it has aged incredibly well too. Not to mention, playing it these days you …

The camera can be considered an enemy in this game. You will spend a lot of time figting against the camera. Otherwise, top tier game.

Warrior Within is a darker and more aggressive Prince of Persia game that really shines in combat. The fighting is hugely improved over the first game, with a full combo system that makes encounters far more engaging. The dual-timeline mechanic is clever, and the story, focused on the Prince dealing with the consequences of his past actions, is very interesting. The soundtrack also fits the heavier tone well, though …

60 of 415 · 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.
neutral · 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.

positive · AI labelView post →Ubisoft begin removing Ubisoft Connect from Steam with the new Ubisoft Connect Services. 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…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Prince of Persia was a groundbreaking game for its accurate character movement back in the late 80's. To do this, the creator videotaped his own brother running and jumping on the sidewalk and then did pixel mapping frame by frame as shown here at the Strong Museum of Play

Once the insurmountable first run is achieved, they all blend seamlessly into a platforming paradise. Lastly, the music is sublime.
