This game is cool, but some stuff aged terribly because the gameplay gimmicks are repetitive, I beat this game a year ago because I wanted to revisit, but I never want to play it again.
The story (Desmond's side) is only bad because I know it never went anywhere different that some boring conspiracy.
The story (Altair's side) is good, and Altair is a good protagonist. The rest of the characters are boring at worst and forgettable good at best.

This game is ok at times, it fixed the tone issues from WW by going in the middle of SOT and WW. It's my least favorite of the trilogy. I do think it is a great game. The conclusion of the story is perfect. It doesn't ignore WW which is so good. The story is good. Some stuff you see in this makes complete sense when the next game the PoP team they make is Assassin's Creed.

This game feels like they wanted to make Prince of Persia the best sequel to Sands Of Time by making it super edgy and SEXY WOMEN driven. Does it work ? Kinda, It doesn't disrespect sands of time like so many edgy games do, example:
-DmC reboot with devil may cry. (it's a reboot ik, but my point that DmC kinda wants to distance itself from devil may cry and try to shoehorn itself into the new main stuff. Whether that POP:WW just want to expand on SOT.)
In fact, WW never hates on the previous stuff. The style is different, there's gore is super tame and if you do it right the game will slo-mo it. The music is so far from the first game that Godsmack - i'm stand alone (instrumental) is integral for certain parts of the story. Now, the most different part is the sexual stuff:
The first movie scene literally covers your entire screen with woman ass for like 3 second, I'm not against butts. The first game got some women ass too, so it's not new, but in WW have some of the enemy women that jump on you fucking Moan and have some sexual taunts. Is this cringe or offensive ? idk man it sure is wild going back seeing some of this stuff and when I was 5 years old I didn't even care because of how much they improved the combat, puzzles and the time mechanics.

Time slow down in this game is perfect, you can do so much to this game with, sure the Games makes sure you know this mechanic is going to be important in some puzzles. Bosses requires this, especially the final true boss, and it feels so good abusing this too. This stuff is broken.

Is the combat GOOD? Not really, it is better than SOT, but WW is not something I want to go back for the epic combos. I always use the same 2 combos and the game is never hard.

Is exploration and puzzles GOOD? It's sometimes confusing, but it's more open than SOT. Life upgrades are now more meaning full to find. Hidden weapons can be found thought the game. So it's good imo.
Is the story GOOD ? Sure, it's straight forward, is not better than SOT. But it does it job as a sequel of the first game and to set up the third game.

Do I recommend this game to a fan of sands of time ? Absolutely, It's going to be different, but I do think it is a good sequel to sands of time.
This game is something that today Ubisoft would never do, something the Prince of Persia franchise would never do. Not because it was a bad game, But because it was in the wrong direction in tone.

This game is so good. The combat is broken, time mechanic is so good, platforming is super linear But it flows so good.

You know this game at first seems gimmick driven, but it flows better than I expected.
I love the math problems in the main story, lost and found is torture figuring out by yourself.
the walking is looooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOng but idk the OST was so good at times, I kinda like it.
The story idk if it was deep or some plain stuff, but I really liked the themes it was going for. This game likes to troll around in all senses.
I really enjoy this game, it might be one of my favorites games just by how unique it and the experience I got from it. I really do hope Suda remasters and ports this one. By far the best version to play it is the DS because of the compressed OST and 2 screens flows so much better with the manual.


Fascinating, the style of this game is so good.
The story, I might give it 5 stars, BUT I seriously despise The gameplay imo.
I hate the gameplay that the thought of replaying the game gives me war flashbacks.

It's weird how I got into this game. Remembering how much people use the mall music in their video essays or commentary videos. I recently played it on the pc, but my first play through was on the 360.

And this game is hard at first, but is so rewarding if you learn it imo. Each play through gets better and better. Sure, it's got some flaws (for me, it's in mission design some of the missions with AI partners, they play so clunky. Not talking about survivors btw)But for me, the game is pretty balanced.
