“This game has taken over my mind. I see the puzzles in my dreams. Many are downright genius. It is like an onion: I kept peeling back the layers and found more lore and mysteries. I love it. It took me a while of noting…”
“I'm torn as to how to review this game. On one hand there are aspects that are genius, especially some of the puzzles that have to play out over multiple days and the many times there are a-hah! moments where previous…”
“Good puzzle game stretched out by annoying roguelike mechanics”

“Blue Prince is a beautiful game in many ways, but the pacing is so slow that it's hard to recommend. The moments that make the game satisfying are scattered distantly between long segments of backtracking and restarting…”
“Very rarely I see something that is artistic to its core and at the same time has actual gameplay instead of being more or less an interactive experience with barely any "game" to it, at least on this kind of scale. If,…”

“Blue Prince is an incredible puzzle/drafting roguelike/exploration/narrative game. The house drafting part of the game is fun and challenging, and there's a huge amount of secrets to find, and a sprawling narrative to…”
“Just an amazing puzzle game with A LOT of depth. I just reached the 'main ending' and I feel like i'm just getting started. I didn't play it earlier because the idea of it being a roguelite put me off, but it really…”

“The drafting is different every single time. Personally for me, it never gets stale”
“Incredible room drafting mechanic that reminds me of Betrayal at House on the Hill, but perfected. Endless mysteries to ponder over even post-endgame. If you like mystery games, just get this one now!”
“This game is honestly incredible. I genuinely went into this thinking it'd be a cute little puzzle game where you just try to make it to your goal, and I was hit by a plane of lore that's had me on the edge of my seat…”

“man, what a disappointment. on paper, this game seems perfect. I love puzzles, exploration and mystery. it's simply not fun. if you think you're going to be solving puzzles all the time, you won't - most major puzzles…”
“A game that could have been great ruined by annoying RNG. The mystery is compelling yes, but not so much that I want to suffer through re-roll after re-roll. I recommend watching a lore video or something instead of…”
“I wanted to like this game, I really did. I tried, I tried so hard. But ultimately, I get frustrated by games that like to waste my time and pad out gameplay with RNG. I knew almost nothing about the game before I…”

“Well, this must be the biggest disappointment in 2026 for me. Expected a very good puzzle game (since it is rated so high) and got some weird *** roguelite room placement game. And the puzzles that ARE in the game are…”

“This game really is soooooo lovely and addicting trying to figure everything out. It reminds me of Carcasson in a way with building out a map with random pieces. But sadly with the good, come so many little annoyances.…”
“So this was the blue guy Eiffel 65 was warning us about. srs review: It's a pretty good Myst-like but the rogue like elements really brought the game down a notch after first reaching room 46. There are ways to mitigate…”

“As of right now, this is my pick for best game of 2025. Played it a little later than most who were hyped on it, but glad I finally took a chance. Played both on my Steam Deck (docked and handheld) and on my beefier…”
“I think the game is good. Not for full price. At half price it's worth they journey. It's got an amazing hook (roguelike puzzler), good story and graphics, passable gameplay loop that could do with some edge-softening…”

“Alright. [i]Blue Prince[/i] is done and dusted. This is a pretty insane, challenging, and yet approachable puzzle game that takes on the persona on node-based roguelikes in large part, mixed with 3-D exploration. It's quite unlike anything else I've played when the totality of…”
— a player, Steam review · 23 hrs played“This game pulled me in, it pummeled me mercilessly and I just kept asking for more. I've racked my brain around all the mysteries I can find and I'm positive that the floorboards hide more than just a beating heart. I'm positive I've missed a lot, I'm 124 days in and I just…”

The roguelike aspect is fun, having to plan your route each new day and hope you get good room choices. Sometimes you get the worst ones and it feels like the game…”
