“Great soundtrack, good bosses, and interesting gameplay, but the game needs to be fixed for modern PC.”
“All these years later, there is no other game like this. Safe to say the concept has stood the test of time. Playing in 2007 it was among the first few games I ever played. Back then I needed a proper guide to clear it…”

“Great soundtrack, good bosses, and interesting gameplay, but the game needs to be fixed for modern PC.”
“It’s such a classic. I loved the game’s dark tone, the music, the combat system with the time‑rewind mechanic, the parkour, and of course Kaileena ;) It’s one of my all‑time favorites — and I’ll never forget the thrill…”

“The best of the trilogy. 10/10 story and more open compared to SoT and TT. The game is quite short and sometimes buggy, especially if you play on refresh rate over 60, but if you catch it on a sale definitely worth it.”
“Great game. Great Story. Amazing attack combo. But the controls are sh*t.”
“Great game, still as good as one remembers it, hard to believe this game is over 20 years old. Performancewise. it ran stable on a 2k Monitor 60Hz, I don't know Fps, since the Metrics didn't work, also recording the…”

“Cannot recommend, takes so much effort to get it to work. Which is a shame cause the game itself is great. Downloaded patches etc.. just to get hit with this glitch where the menu just keeps opening. Can't be bothered…”

“The game is not that great. Played on normal difficulty and the game was clanky and robust to play at a lot of points, to the point that boss fights felt like playing Dark Souls without a healing item, an actual useful…”

“only five characters in this game and two of them are the same”
“Story is pretty junk. Lots of trial and error, but kinda expected. Gets tedious and boring. Lots of the same types of traps etc and the monsters are basic. Battle is better than the first one, but that isn't saying…”

“Let's be honest, most of us are here for the following reasons: 1. Edginess 2. Dark atmosphere 3. Heavy metal soundtrack 4. Nostalgia 5. Shahdee + Kaileena”
— a player, Steam review · 12 hrs played“Finally got the childhood achievement — killing Dahaka on Hard difficulty. For me personally, this is one of the greatest games ever made. The dark tone, awesome combos, and the brutality might not perfectly fit the Prince, but they absolutely fit a great game. Thanks, Ubisoft,…”
— a player, Steam review · 17 hrs played“Honestly, I was shocked to realize that the infamous Portal bug near the end of the game is still not fixed so my save file is now bricked. So, I'm sorry, I can't recommend it. Ubisoft being Ubisoft.”
