Prince of Persia: Lost Crown is an amazing side scrolling platformer. This game was revolutionary for this genre or style of game. The story is fantastic, graphics(even on switch) was incredible, and 100% voice acted. What puts Prince of Persia: Lost Crown above other games of this genre is accessibility and gameplay. Anyone can play this game and there are features that can help you get through the hardest of platforming challenges. Ubisoft hit a home run with this game and if this is the direction this genre is going, i can not wait to see what the future will bring.

Persia for Lost Crown is a fast fun & frantic adventure, challenging platforming & rapid weighty combat, with some very precise but not excruciating counters, with parrys.
At first the combat is stray forward enough or as you progress and it's definitely worth taking advantage of the games tutorials in the training section with one of the NPC characters. It's soon can evolve into aerial juggling manoeuvers Dodgers and phase shifts, leaping and dancing around enemies breakneck speed. Granted it does take quite a bit of practice but it's certainly worth it as enemies continually become more cunning a little able to block parry or even dodge and teleport behind you.
The metroidvania genre isn't normally known for its mele combat but Prince of Persia at the Lost crown certainly makes an intriguing an intuitive change, it is possible to maash your way through enemies it's definitely worth exploring an experimenting all different avenues of the combats in order to succeed. As it's going to take more than being parry god to come out on top.
Despite the fact that the genre known as metroidvania, has probably become very saturated in recent years, POPTC is a standout experience being very polished experience throughout. Memory shards allow you to essentially screenshots portion of the area that you're in and add it to your map as a marker.
Those that have played Metroid Dread will no doubt feel a very similar game level design & rhythm, of course that is akin to metroidvania, sargon the character you play us, isn't too dissimilar from how samus played in Metroid Dread. Both having a counter parry system and also a slide mechanic which was a first in the Metroid series.
Probably my biggest criticism towards the Lost crown is the fact that there's no minimap in the in-game hud, so there is some back & forth & late game exploration doesn't feel rewarding enough.

Excellent game if you enjoy platformers, or side strollers. Has the feel of the classic P.o.P games. Loaded with content. The combat is fun and engaging while custom difficulty sliders allow for a challenge at your own level of skill.....or sweat desired.

It's been so long since I played a good Ubisoft game that I couldn't believe they were the ones behind this one. It's a very different game for them, and I'm genuinely glad they took this risk; it feels refreshing. It's a great game with plenty of action and an entertaining story.

One of the best modern metroidvanias I’ve been able to experience recently. The eye of the wanderer ability, which allows you to capture screenshots onto your map is a fantastic innovation that I hope future games adopt. Long gone are the days of “where was that one puzzle I couldn’t do?” It now can be captured on your map! Main story was fun and intriguing but the overall lore and world building didn’t do it for me. Great game! Would recommend to new and old fans of the genre.

Unbelievable puzzle game and Metroid-vania. They put a lot of thought and care into level design, making it just hard enough to have to repeat parts continuously but never getting frustrated.
Really nailed the combat as well.

Fantastic metroidvania that sets itself apart by introducing novel mechanic such as memory shards. Combat, traversal feels fluid and dynamic. Boss battles are thrilling, just as good as Metroid Dread.
