It’s been over a decade since the release of the last Prince of Persia, and with the Sands of Time remake seemingly trapped in development hell, the franchise has had a rough go of things. That’s exactly what makes Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown so surprising, not just because it's a new game after all these years, but because it’s actually quite good. After a roughly hour-long demo, The Lost Crown is a deliciously stylish metroidvania with incredibly satisfying controls and combat, sending me from hesitant to eager to get more.
