I remember when I played the 1st Prince Of Persia game on the PC. Back in 1990 or something. It was my first time seeing a 2D side scroller with realistic, smooth animation. Nice to see a new addition to the series.
I love that Ubisoft still just does their thing and still lands some real gems ever so often. Gonna get this 100%. And i love straight up reviews like this by you, let's keep fighting the algorithm. xD
@@Ihatevideogames334Rayman Legends team made this game. Stop the hate. They are not the guys doing souless titles yearly which feel like recycled products. This was made with love and care and just polished as any nintendo 2D metroid title with Switch as the target platform.
Dang, wasn't expecting a glowing review from RGT but I'll take it. I'm glad you liked it man! I hope this goes well with other reviewers as well, I've been itching for a new PoP game and a revival for the series.
Just finished this on switch. It was SO SO good! I loved every second of it! Loved the music, the combat, the platforming! Best metroidvania I have ever played. Please pick this up if you haven’t
This def looks sick! I fell in love with the original Batman and ninja turtles on NES and I’m always looking for games that give me that same kind of platforming challenge. For some reason this just makes me think of those games in a modern version! Can’t wait to grab it
12:04 Immortals was the name of Persian elite troops back when they tried to invade Greece. …Not that ubisoft has a good track record with historical accuracy or anything. Assassins Creed Odyssey was a mess in that department!
I liked what I played of the old 2D POP games like on mac and SNES, also really enjoyed sands of time but never got around to the sequels. so seeing a new 2D entry and have them turn it into a metroidvania style game, with the assistance of Jordan Mechner himself, my interest has definitely been piqued! totally going to grab the demo and take it for a test drive, it seems like a lot of fun!
The jumping wasn’t wonky in the original PoP, at least not in the DOS version. Sadly, nearly every port has terrible controls. One thing about the running jump of PoP that modern players might find strange: You had to start pressing jump a tile or half-tile before the actual jump, so that the Prince had time to line up his steps. It made it look very realistic! And the game would then have him jump at the edge, so that you always made the three tile jump (or four tiles with ledge hanging). It was a good system.
Tomb Rader 1 also stole that jump system from Prince Of Persia. The OG PoP games use rotoscoping to get those realistic animation. It had a disney-like quality to it.(back in the days when Disney still did 2D animation)
The reason why immortals are constantly in Prince of Persia The Lost Crown is because the immortals were Persia's equivalent to the Roman legion. Also, other characters in The Lost Crown were named after historical Persian figures, such as Tomyris.
Played the demo today on Switch, I liked it so much I turned on my PS5 straight after finishing with it, and used my stars rewards I’ve been saving on the PS app to buy it. Platforming feels great, combat felt fantastic.. been waiting for a big budget 2D platformer like this since the original God of War games on the PS3. Seems like an absolutely perfect game for Switch, so on payday I’ll be buying a physical copy for my Switch 🙂 Excellent review, regularly watch your vids!
When I first saw the graphics for this game, it IMMEDIATELY reminded me of Immortals Fenyx Rising (which I honestly loved so much), and tbh, I was almost sold on the graphic style alone, but this video kind of clinched it for me (I am not a HUGE fan of metroidvanias, but I am willing to go outside my comfort zone for this). Thanks for reviewing!
Nice! I generally suck at platforming, but I've always loved the franchise and was planning on picking it up for my PS5. Glad to hear such a glowing review.
I'm so glad they did a good job with it i was kind of worried that they'd mess something up somehow cause not all games are all that nowadays and this series used to be one of the best one's back in the day and it really surprises me that RGT has no complaints that tells me it's a must buy Thanks man I'll be picking it up with my next paycheck
Not every game with huge content is necessarily good . Beware of this huge exaggeration and you must carefully examine the content first whether it is good or not .
I've played every game in the Prince of Persia series except for 3D. I've loved each one except for Battles. This game is great. It's a wonderful return to the feel of the puzzle platforming of the classic 2D games and the Sands trilogy but as a modern fast Metroid update and filled with creative ideas. I think my only problems with it are entirely self inflicted. I'll force myself through some intensely difficult sections only to get a new power later on that would have made that section easy.
I got my physical copy on Switch and played until 100% it, just couldn't put the controller down. What an awesome game!!!. I love metroidvanias and this is the best one I have played in a very long time.
I absolutely loved Immortals Fenyx Rising, I know the humor was a bit cheezy but it's the closest we have had to BOTW and TOTK so far (the shrines were awesome) I think it's a shame the sequel was scrapped probably because of the negative reviews, they were aiming to go in the Elden Ring direction, and I would have loved to see it.
I played the PS5 demo and the Switch demo and i felt the controls were better on the Switch. Of course the Playstation version had better graphics but im leaning to purchase this on Switch next week.
Hearing this review, I think I’m going for a physical release. It all depends on the file size, as there probably won’t be much of a difference in price between physical or digital.
You would be pretty wild not to start investing in physical cartridges especially with it being guaranteed that we are having backwards compatibility. I don't buy games under a 7.5 rating so all my switch games are physical. My nerd homie at Target told me that since it's going to be backwards compatible all the Nintendo games especially the first party will go up to $70 even before the switch too. So yes get physical.
I played the demo and it felt nice. The wall jumping brings back memories. I loved prince of persia sands of time. One of my favorite games. Too bad we didn’t get to fight a boss in the demo.
I don't think this was supposed to be tied into Fenyx Rising. The Immortals were actually elite soldiers in Persia around the time of Darius I, named so by Herodotus the historian. I'd be more interested in the connection between this game and the delay with the Sands of Time remake.
I want more of these oldschool style games with cool gameplay 🤷🏻♂️ bring on Ninja Gaiden, Contra, Double Dragon, Clash at Demonhead, Nemo Dreamworld etc… mix it up and have epic 3rd person Soulslike Bossfights 🤯 Best of both worlds as far as I’m concerned
I was having major controller issues with my XBOX One PC controller and ended up playing on my PS4 instead. I dont understand how or why they overlooked PC controller support when it is sooo much of an integral part of the game.
This is all Switch footage? :O It looks crazy good and smooth for Switch, compare this to Bloodstained, which looks great too, but you really felt the Switch chugging along with it.

me as well hard asf lol
I played original one on friends Apple IIe, had to get it for my C-64 lol
Played in 1988-1989 Senior year of high school myself. Good times.
SNES version was good. I think it inspired Flashback for sure. Imo
@@buckeyechad1 Yes! I never thought of that. It makes perfect sense. Such an awesome cyberpunk side scroller!

Ubisoft is butt
I hate that I’m hyped for this game and will get it day one.
I hate that Ubisoft will probably discount the price 2 weeks after release.

I'm getting this ASAP, thanks for the review RGT85
I was looking forward to see what this game was all about but watching it in action I am now looking forward to checking it out. Thank you Sean

I have a Victorian England Assassin on my Greek boat. She looks out of place. The Egyptian one blends in nicely.

Ubi Soft should release the Sands of Time trilogy on Switch
I kinda thought they already had. But yeah bit of a no brainer.
Also 2008 POP and maybe forgotten sands
The GBA version could be a bonus unlockable.
I yust completed the demo on my PS4. Im so geting this physical for my Switch Oled. Love it.

Yeah it was a grid system.
The reason why immortals are constantly in Prince of Persia The Lost Crown is because the immortals were Persia's equivalent to the Roman legion. Also, other characters in The Lost Crown were named after historical Persian figures, such as Tomyris.
I absolutely love metroidvanias and I'm so excited for this game. I have the Digital Deluxe pre ordered and I'll be playing it at midnight on Monday!
Nice way too kick off the New Year with this game…Awesome!!!😀👍🔥

Excellent review, regularly watch your vids!
I got it on the switch because my ps5 storage is full 😩😩😩 but it’s pretty much the same
Your reviews are what I use to buy games. You are hard and truthful on games and I appreciate that. Def picked this up after watching your video.
I wish they did a Ninja Gaiden like this, but Koei Tecmo don't care to much about him anymore.
True also, If you like this game you maybe als love Bloodstained ritual of the night
I came for the truth and left with "the point of the game is the gameplay" this is true, I leave happy 🙏
When I first saw the graphics for this game, it IMMEDIATELY reminded me of Immortals Fenyx Rising (which I honestly loved so much), and tbh, I was almost sold on the graphic style alone, but this video kind of clinched it for me (I am not a HUGE fan of metroidvanias, but I am willing to go outside my comfort zone for this). Thanks for reviewing!
From screen shots I saw and this being on Switch it was easily top 10 games for holiday. Since I mostly buy my own I'll have to get this eventually.
cant wait for this. theres few element in there from the original POP good video
I can't wait for next week. Pre-ordered this one on switch. OMG Fenyx rising yes that's a good catch. It's even the same composer!
Got it preorder rgt
Pre ordered this one can’t wait till it arrives. Got it on switch as it seems like the type of game that is best handheld.
Its pretty awesome on a big tv too but I’m getting it for switch also
Nice! I generally suck at platforming, but I've always loved the franchise and was planning on picking it up for my PS5. Glad to hear such a glowing review.
the platforming in this game is super hardl but it is sooo fun and will not bore you at all. it is as if "Celeste" slapped with metroidvania stuff
@@caeden3269 I'd say it's classic PoP with modern metroidvania improvements. So PoP meets, say, Ori.
My walmart broke street date and I've been playing it since last Saturday. It's great combat and traversal is fun
Yeah I bet.
@xanderscott807 Well, you bet right.
Metroid dread vibes and I love it.
Will put it to my to buy list this year.
Just picked this up at Target, was on sale for 29.99, it came with the Warrior Within outfit, this game is 🔥

It was made by the same studio that made the Rayman origins and legends games. They're also great 2D platformers, if you haven't played them.
The 3D Prince of Persia games were so good.
Thanks for the review bro, I'm a big Metroid fan and I'm dying to play this game
Demo is available now
Great Review RGT. Thanks
Glad Prince of Persia is coming back in a big way, can't wait for Sand of Time remake...
Definitely getting it for the combat as I like the Metroid combat.
This game looks so good. To hear that it's so big, makes me want it more! This is a physical purchase, for sure. Thanks for the review!!
@@Ihatevideogames334go touch grass little bro.

@@salasalsa-mb5gwI think after gaming for over 30 years, I trust my instincts.
@@Ihatevideogames334who hurt you....
Nice, as a veteran in PoP games i like to play this on my switch lite
great news, this is my most anticipated game this year so far
I'm a huge fan of all the 2D Metroids as well as games like Celeste, where you have to do really acrobatic platforming, so this looks like my game.
I love this game!! Playing it rn on my oled 😊
I loved the Sands of Time because of the simplicity and the quality of the story. Also the same with the first four AC games.
You can dodge in a souls game instead of parry try a high dex build
Definitely looking forward to this. Subscribed to ubisoft+ and gonna finish avatar and check this out. Cheers rgt 👌
I've been waiting for this game glad it's as good as I thought
Glad you're feeling better.

Thanks Rgt. Great review. Prince of Persia looks good. 👍
Kinda reminds me of guacamelee. The Metroid/vania mixed with combo fights. If it’s like that I’m so about it
Absolutely loved Guacamelee. Its just so perfect the amount of difficulty it has is just right. I hope the same can be said on this game.
I got my physical copy on Switch and played until 100% it, just couldn't put the controller down. What an awesome game!!!. I love metroidvanias and this is the best one I have played in a very long time.
Damn, I really wanna play this!
I'm definitely playing this
I'm getting it ASAP.
Sweet I preordered
I'm probably finna pick up a copy today when I get off
Looking forward to this game
RGT, will this outsell Dread within its first year, on all consoles?
Thanks for the review.
This looks better than I expected it to be
I’m excited to play Prince of Iran.
Get a life troll 😂
Good talk, Shawn. Here’s to Prince of Persia!
I just got the physical version for the Switch
Just picked this up at Target, was on sale for 29.99, it came with the Warrior Within outfit this game is 🔥
I wish they remade the sands of time one.. or whatever the first 3D one was on Xbox. That was epic
Looks nice. That game goes way back. I have a Sega cd or genesis Prince of Persia game.
My favorite one Prince of Persia Forgotten sands on the Nintendo Wii on the Nintendo switch Wasn't that Remasters on the Nintendo switch2024 USA
The end crushed me lmao
in 2024 you gotta change your thumbnails lil bro
He just switches to the left side of the thumbnail :P
Yeah he really needs to. Just looks cringe and dumb af at this rate
You must not have friends.@@Ihatevideogames334
I miss his orginal intros
@@Ihatevideogames334 must really hate ubisoft having success.
I love this game. It is awesome old school. Love it relaxing and very well made

Fenyx rising is better than tears of the kingdom. Tears of the kingdom runs like crap and is so damn boring.
It’s pretty rare for me to get a game on release day however, this’ll be one
I’m pretty pumped for this game!
@@Ihatevideogames334 oh man…
I been wanting to play this, its good to hear, it worth it.
@@Ihatevideogames334 Ok buddy, have blessed day.

There is a secret boss in the demo
@@strtfghtr88 Are you referring to a guy with a spear? I just found that one. Wasn’t much of a boss fight.
@@LitlroxTrue, but it was definitely one of the tougher enemies, plus it was fun discovering him. More like a semi-boss battle
@@strtfghtr88 I can’t believe I missed him the first time. It was a mini boss fight. I wanted to fight a giant. 😁
Im interested in this game but, will wait for a sale.
Will there be MTX?
the game was so beautiful it made me cry with joy
My copy is arriving Thursday with a bit of luck

I was having major controller issues with my XBOX One PC controller and ended up playing on my PS4 instead. I dont understand how or why they overlooked PC controller support when it is sooo much of an integral part of the game.
This really does look great. Just wish Konami would make a Castlevania game like this. No brainer. And would sell like crazy.
Parrying in any game is rewarding.
the gameplay looks really good.
Have to get this on Playstation 4 and 5 ✌️
I need help with my joycons clicking in. The left side is too loose and the controllers keep becoming disconnected.. anybody else experience this?
Everybody's favorite Nintendo TH-camr
This game looks really good
probably grab Switch physical
This is all Switch footage? :O It looks crazy good and smooth for Switch, compare this to Bloodstained, which looks great too, but you really felt the Switch chugging along with it.
Im guessing it is becuase of the ZL at the bottom right
Are you going to play this game on the other consoles to compare to the Switch?
I love metroidvanias and this game looks dope!!
I already beat the demo beautiful game it’s real it be worth the wait
I'm playing the demo 😊
Sounds good, but the only parry I would master starts with the name Piper.
Dude 😎 I'm getting this...
The first hour dragged for me. I’m 4 hours in and loving it
i wish it was on steam!
