Japanese video game publisher SEGA made a major comeback last year by reviving some of its most iconic franchises for modern consoles.
Shaz from Pixel Swish: "I had some thoughts (and a lot of questions) on the recently released puzzle roguelike, ‘Blue Prince,’ developed by Dogubomb and published by Raw Fury."
It's pretty damn good. I'm about 16 hours into it. Lots of secrets and mysteries. I'm on day 14 I think. Still haven't beaten it. Gotten very close a few times. Unlocked many secrets already. Instead of writing down things, I usually take pictures with my Playstation and write on them using the editor, its very fast. There is a small element of luck, but mostly it's about learning and planning and solving puzzles that are bigger than the one room you're in or the item you're looking at. There are so many secrets that some players will never know unless you put in the time and learn and pay attention. It's an eerie and mysterious puzzle game. I think it's addicting and a lot of fun. 9/10
I just got to day 4. First 2 days I started going into it blind, and just trying to remember by memory but got overwhelmed pretty quickly. Got a handy dandy notebook and my notes will definitely help in the long run.
Been enjoying it so far, but with Oblivion dropping and me stupidly picking it up, might take a hit to my playtime on Blue Prince.
I like that critical thinking and puzzle solving go hand in hand, and you're not having your hand held the whole time.
No game is for everyone. We all have different tastes, some have broader taste some have more specific taste and it’s ok either way. Play what you like!
***The problem is, the game tells you absolutely nothing about what you’re actually supposed to do.***
Getting to room 46 itself is a puzzle and the whole game tells you to solve puzzles.
***But how do you know if something in a room actually has meaning?***
It's a puzzle game. It's not just going to hand you the answer. I guess this is the point where we get to people who want an NPC to tell them how to solve the part of a puzzle and the people who truly want to figure out the puzzle for themselves.
This makes me feel like some gamers are becoming more like my nephews, they're not solving problems, they're just looking for youtube videos of people who have solved them and following what they did.
P.S. Please don't write another first paragraph like the one in this again. It really sets a tone that you don't know what you're doing.

Sega has plenty of dormant franchises they could revive. But most are so dormant barely anyone remembers, and would be completely unheard of for younger gamers.
I would love to see quite a number of old sega franchises remade…
