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."
Not a shame at all. UBI should get used to people not buying their games. They told us to get used to not owning them after all.
People in want THE Prince of Persia, not some rando in a 2d sidesscroller
This doesn’t surprise me (based on Ubisofts recent claims about NOT owning). But it IS frustrating because I bought it and it is FANTASTIC, I am having trouble putting it down. It’s one of the best Metroidvania’s I have played in years.
Unfortunately, with low sales it means the corporate execs are less likely to invest in games like this and will push GaaS more because they don’t understand their audience at all.
Hopefully it spreads by word of mouth and eventually becomes somewhat of a sleeper hit because I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone interested in the genre(which has become a bit over saturated the last few years). It stands up there with Hollow Knight and the GOATs, yes really.
But I'm trying to get comfortable with not owning Ubisoft games, so I'm not buying them.
The style of this just doesn't seem like Prince of Persia. Would've preferred Sands remake first
