PoP tSoT is a classic. There’s no doubt about that. However, I feel that I’ve enjoyed it less than I could have because of the PC version. The game doesn’t natively support Xbox controllers. I had to force it through a program. You can tell the controls are off or even cause trouble. It made the game needlessly frustrating with the platforming and fights. But I’m not sure if I should hold this against the game itself since it never supported it. Other than that everything else is A+ for its time. Even though the story is not the focus, it’s beautifully told through dialogues that feel natural. The Persian atmosphere is very nice to see, it reminds me a bit of Arabic. The puzzles are good. The fights can be cheap but I’m not sure if it’s the controls that made it feel this way. Either way, it’s worth experiencing.
