Prince of Persia the Lost Crown Review: Unleashing the Sands of Success

According to IGN Prince of Persia, the Lost Crown didn’t disappoint the fact that the Prince of Persia franchise has lived up to its expectations since the first release of The Sands of Time way back in 2003.

The Lost Crown captures not only what made games such as The Sands of Time so good, but it irons out a lot of the little issues that plagued the 3D games in this series by opting for a 2D perspective – and owning it. It also works extremely well as a traditional Metroidvania, sticking with tried-and-true elements of the genre but executing them with precision.

The story can feel a bit jumbled at times, but it’s the fast and fun combat system, the tight and satisfying controls, and the stylish look and feels that elevate Sargon’s journey and make The Lost Crown a worthy successor to the best of the Prince of Persia legacy.

IGN gave 8 out of 10 for the Prince of Persia the Lost Crown. Calling it GREAT!
