This game really got much better as it went along. It started out fine. I wasn't in love with the combat. I found some of the enemies frustrating as they would try to constantly move away from me as I tried to attack. Since my arrows are pretty weak against enemies, I had to try my best to chase them down which in the worst cases led me to stepping in pools of poisonous water just get get some hits in. But thankfully, as with how Metroidvanias go, I got more abilities for traversal and combat that alleviated all my problems making combat so much more enjoyable, cool, and exciting. The same can be said for he platforming challenges and boss fights. My character even got more badass in cutscenes. It managed to reach the greatness it was hyped up to be. I'm glad to have Prince of Persia back even though it's not quite the same as Sands of Time and Warrior Within. I would like a new one in that style, but I'm not mad at this new direction.
