This was a great game marred by a lot of presentation issues.

The game feel and level design was so, so good ! Finally a win for Ubisoft.

A lot of visual things kind of annoyed me though. The animation is very appealing most of the time, but then completely lacking in even basic lip syncing. A lot of visual glitches pop up in spots as well. I also felt the character designs left a lot to be desired at times.

The music was just flat out bad, or felt entirely missing most of the time. The last boss fight is almost done in complete silence which is so awkward and jarring.

Finally, the story did nothing for me. There's a reason why Metroid chooses super simple premises and focuses almost exclusively on gameplay.

A very fun surprise from Ubisoft in the end, and a good way to revitalize the Prince of Persia franchise. It just lacked a polish I hope a future title will bring !
