IGN : We’ve got a jam-packed episode this week! First order of business, Blue Prince just dropped and it’s currently the best-reviewed game of the year so far, so what’s the big deal? We invited IGN’s executive reviews editor and Blue Prince reviewer Tom Marks to discuss.
NoobFeed editor Faviyan writes - Blue Prince is a clever, combat-free roguelite packed with puzzles, secrets, and mystery. Its shifting mansion and layered mechanics make it a must-play for fans of exploration and discovery.
"Blue Prince is an adventure, puzzle, and strategy game developed by Dogubomb and published by Raw Fury. Puzzles alone weren’t the only things that interested me however, but the fact the game reminded me of the board game, Betrayal at House on the Hill. And if you like that board game, then play this game." Ruddy @ Thumb Culture
WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "Even if you aren’t a fan of roguelikes, Blue Prince feels much more like an elaborate puzzle box. There’s a satisfying feeling in making it further than you did before, finding clues to a puzzle, then stumbling onto another piece of that puzzle a few runs later. Blue Prince is certainly one of the most interesting games of this year. It takes a fairly novel concept in a roguelike puzzle game, adding elements of deckbuilding and base crafting. It all comes together for a gameplay experience unlike anything else out there today."
This is interesting. I saw it is hitting PS+, and I had never heard of it and probably wouldn't have had the initiative to try it on my own. However, i keep reading great things about it and seen some perfect scores. I'll at least give it a shot at the pricetag of free!
I got an alert last night that this game was out and it was apparently on my wishlist. And I'd never heard of it and not the type of game I'm interested in playing.
