Ubisoft’s The Sands of Time casts a long shadow over the entire franchise, so much so that it was easier for the publisher to move on to their own historically-themed hidden blades than keep going after just seven years of time warping out of bottomless pits. The newly released Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown looks to split the difference between the roots of the series and Ubisoft’s vision while adding its own genre spin. A Metroidvania crafted with care by similar franchise-renewing Rayman Origins developers, Ubisoft Montpellier, The Lost Crown effortlessly proves itself to be much more than a nostalgia act.","2025-02-25T12:10:59.51448-05:00",{"id":227,"logo":240,"name":241,"slug":242,"tags":26,"bluesky":243,"twitter":244,"youtube":245,"facebook":246,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":247,"website_url":248,"score_format":77,"average_score":47,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":249,"stats_updated_at":250,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":251,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":252,"active_authors_count":253,"headquarters_country":26,"reviews_editor_email":251,"editor_in_chief_email":251,"published_authors_count":254,"published_reviews_count":255},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FThe-Outerhaven-Logo.jpeg","The OuterHaven","the-outerhaven","theouterhaven.net","TheOuterHaven","","Theouterhaven","http:\u002F\u002FTheouterhaven.net is an independent media outlet bringing you brutally honest coverage of video games, anime, manga.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.theouterhaven.net\u002F","2026-02-17","2026-02-18T13:36:24.504381","Keith@theouterhaven.net",11,8,56,609,{"id":257,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":258,"author":259,"original_score":266,"normalized_score":235,"review_url":267,"review_date":268,"summary":269,"created_at":270,"updated_at":270,"author_id":260,"last_edited_at":270,"outlet":271},133234,142,{"id":260,"bio":26,"name":261,"avg_score":262,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":263,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":264,"claim_token":26,"article_count":265,"claimed_by_user_id":26},10936,"Saras Rajpal",72.85714285714286,"2025-04-23T17:29:52.402291-04:00","2026-07-07T11:04:29.8227-04:00",113,"4.0","https:\u002F\u002Ffinalweapon.net\u002F2024\u002F01\u002F17\u002Fprince-of-persia-the-lost-crown-review\u002F","2024-01-17","Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a fantastic introduction to the Metroidvania genre.

Persia: The Lost Crown combines elements of the classic 2D games with the 3D reboots to create a solid metroidvania.

The gameplay is a mix of fighting, platforming and puzzles that are balanced in a way where things never get stale. Many of the obstacles Sargon faces will present a challenge and only the most skilled players will make it through without falling prey to a trap at least once, but none are so challenging that they can't be overcome with a little perseverance. The same can be said for the combat, where learning the intricacies and nuance of the combat system is an important part of winning against the challenging boss fights.

The platforming and exploration are silky smooth and incredibly compelling. Puzzles are legitimately clever and addicting to solve, and the rewards feed into the overall gameplay loop well. I haven't thoroughly enjoyed a game as much as Prince of Persia The Lost Crown in years. If you're even remotely interested in platformers or Metroidvanias, you owe it to yourself to play this game.","2025-01-23T06:16:55.124084-05:00",{"id":1211,"logo":1222,"name":1223,"slug":1224,"tags":1225,"bluesky":26,"twitter":1223,"youtube":26,"facebook":1226,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":1227,"website_url":1228,"score_format":77,"average_score":189,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":49,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":79,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":26,"reviews_editor_email":79,"editor_in_chief_email":79,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FTwinfinite.png","Twinfinite","twinfinite","[  \n  'corporate_owned',\n  'online_media',\n  'inactive',\n  'ingestion_pending'\n  ]","2winfinite","We love video games, so we talk about them.","https:\u002F\u002Ftwinfinite.net\u002F",{"id":1230,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":1231,"author":1232,"original_score":234,"normalized_score":235,"review_url":1239,"review_date":447,"summary":1240,"created_at":1241,"updated_at":1241,"author_id":1233,"last_edited_at":1241,"outlet":1242},52037,43,{"id":1233,"bio":26,"name":1234,"avg_score":1235,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":1236,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":1237,"claim_token":26,"article_count":1238,"claimed_by_user_id":26},4407,"Dom Peppiatt",88.62068965517241,"2025-01-23T08:39:23.082225-05:00","2026-05-14T08:03:36.132281-04:00",39,"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.vg247.com\u002Fprince-of-persia-the-lost-crown-review","A princely, self-assured Metroidvania gem whose glamour is only tarnished by a few unwieldy design decisions.","2025-01-23T09:48:49.253792-05:00",{"id":1231,"logo":1243,"name":1244,"slug":1245,"tags":405,"bluesky":1246,"twitter":1245,"youtube":1247,"facebook":1244,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":1248,"website_url":1249,"score_format":77,"average_score":78,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":49,"headquarters_city":1250,"news_editor_email":1251,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":411,"reviews_editor_email":1251,"editor_in_chief_email":1251,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FVG247%20Logo.jpg","VG247","vg247","vg247.bsky.social","MrVg247","Eurogamer's red-headed stepbrother.
