Richard Bailey Jr. of The Koalition writes: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown was one of several games that I spent hands-on time with during last year’s Summer Games Fest Ubisoft Forward event. Having never played any of the previous entries in the series, I was blown away by the beautiful 2.5D art style and side-scrolling platforming aesthetics so much so that I already had this title firmly slotted at the very top of my most anticipated video games of 2024 list.

WTMG's Leo Faria: "Oh, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. What a lovely little surprise you were, right at the beginning of the year. Without a doubt, one of the best metroidvanias in recent memory, and one of Ubisoft’s best titles of the past couple of decades. It, alongside games like Hi-Fi Rush, Assassin’s Creed Nexus and Helldivers II, showcased what I hope it will eventually turn into a trend of big name publishers focusing less on overbudgeted AAA experiences, and more on mid-tier gems meant to cater to a specific audience with no unnecessary monetization schemes on the side.
I played The Lost Crown to death when it first came out, but I kept thinking about it long after beating it. I wanted to know more about its development cycle. I wanted to discover how and why its developers decided to revive a long-dormant franchise, whilst turning it into a 2D metroidvania. Luckily, I was able to do just that. I was able to have a quick chat with two members from Ubisoft Montpellier, who were kind enough to answer some of my questions: Mounir Radi, the game’s director, and Abdelhak Elguess, its producer."
An outstanding metrovania-inspired action-adventure platformer and definitely worth playing if you're a fan of the genre.
