Prince of Persia the lost crown stands toe to toe with both the best games ubisoft has ever put out, and some of the best metroidvanias in history. I played it on hard on switch, combat and the necklace system is pretty inspired by the likes of hollow knight, and the map is pretty massive. You could tell some of the animations were made by anime fans, they were very enthralling even with limitations. It was kind of obvious where the story would be headed in the beginning, but I enjoyed how it played out. Music could've been a tad more memorable, I couldn't remember much of it. Some technical issues and glitches were pretty prevalent. Quests not completing, music going in and out, game shutting down once and some weird animations here and there. Hopefully those get patched soon. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and a banger way to start off games of 2024.
