Addictive Metroidvania: Prince of Persia - The Lost Crown

Reviews for Ubisoft's latest addition to the Prince of Persia franchise, titled "Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown," have emerged online. The game, presented in a two-dimensional perspective, has received remarkably high praise from critics, with most recommending it for purchase. OpenCritic has assigned an average rating of 87 out of 100, while Metacritic scores range from 84 (PC) to 88 points (Switch), depending on the platform.

According to the majority of reviewers, The Lost Crown adeptly fulfills the developers' objectives, offering players a large, visually appealing, and cohesive experience reminiscent of classic "metroidvanias." The game successfully combines various elements, such as exploration of an expansive world, smooth platforming, an enjoyable combat system, and a natural progression of the protagonist's abilities.

However, some individual critiques have surfaced, highlighting a "mundane" narrative and, in some cases, the game's sprawling scale. The Lost Crown is acknowledged for its significant size, which at times may impact the overall pacing of gameplay.
