Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Review - The Prince of Persia franchise finally returns and this time in a whole new genre.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "It's easier and often more profitable to focus on the negative in the video game industry, but there's enough gloominess in the world. Let's focus instead on all the happy surprises that 2024 gave us. First, there's Balatro, the little indie-that-could that made a bigger splash than most AAA games. Second, there's Bakeru, an unassuming action-platformer with style and creativity approximating the giants of the genre. Third, there's The Plucky Squire, an outside-the-box (and off-the-page) action-adventure that constantly breaks the rules. Fourth, there's Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, which against the odds delivers both an outstanding Metroidvania and a game worthy of the legendary franchise. Finally, there's Silent Hill 2, which, despite months of hand-wringing, turned out to be one of the best remakes of the year."
VGChartz's Taneli Palola: "Another year is behind us, and as always it's time to take a look back at some of the best and worst things that happened in the video game industry in 2024. Naturally, as seems to be the case every year, filling in the losers list is easy, as there's never a shortage of options for that category, while the winners list takes a lot longer to come together. Still, even if it may at times seem that we only ever hear bad news when it comes to video games, there are still quite a lot of positives to take from this year as well. So, let's get to them first."

Replies(1)Not that there is anything wrong with it, but Sony literally copied and pasted the best of what Nintendo did with Mario, with a different coat of paint. The good thing about that is Nintendo will have to up it's game!
Switch 2 is supposedly going to have about the same power as PS4 Pro. If that's true, I think Nintendo is going to have some truly amazing looking and playing games! Astrobot will hopefully push Nintendo to utilize that power to wow us!
Cheers to Sony and Nintendo! Fistbump to Microsoft.
