Prince of Persia is a series that you hear more about than you actually play. It’s been that way for the better part of a decade. While the original 1989 title and the critically acclaimed reboot Sands of Time are oft-cited as important games, the franchise itself has mostly tapered off. One of the last attempts at keeping the franchise alive and strong was 2008’s second reboot, simply titled Prince of Persia. While the game failed to launch a new golden age for the series, it is a remarkably imaginative game that takes influences from across the industry to make a game that has barely aged.
