Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is a weird entry in the franchise. On paper, everything that made the original trilogy so special is here, but it still feels so soulless. This obviously plays after the trilogy since events from it are referenced in the game, but all the development the prince has made during the adventures is gone. All the levels look like ones that I already beat in the first three games. Suddenly, combat is about defeating large groups of enemies instead of just one or two at a time. The platforming is the only redeeming quality of this game, but everything else... I don't know.

Chronologically this set between Sands of Time and Warrior Within. So that’s why it seems like his character development is gone.

@TheQuietGamer Interesting, Thank you for the comment. I do think that in this case they could have done a better job at explaining where we stand in the timeline as well as establishing how the prince turned edgy in WW. As it stands now, Forgotten Sands doesn't really expand on the trilogy as far as the development of the prince is concerned.
