“Not a terrible game but very repetitive and unoriginal. Not worth being an entry in Prince of Persia series”

“I’ve played almost every Prince of Persia game, and this one feels very different from the rest. It focuses more on visuals and smooth movement than challenge. The game looks beautiful, and moving around is fun, but…”
“I have played this game since childhood and I am glad to say I have finally completed it. If you are wandering if you should play this my answer is yes, the gameplay can be a bit weird at times and the ending was a bit…”
“This Prince of Persia aged amazingly for a game released in 2008. Graphics look pretty damn good! Unfortunately gameplay is pretty meh, you have some basic fighting mechanics and you spend most of the time platforming,…”

“most underrated PoP game for sure, I never understood the hate that this game received”
— a player, Steam review · 35 hrs played“I like the new approach that the studio took with this Prince of Persia game!

Although I would like to see the sequel for this reboot series of PoP game.”

But I spend first 2 hours just trying to launch this old game. I dont know why Steam cant be like GOG making…”
