Prince of Perisa: The Lost Crown is a slow burn to a fault. Its beginning hours are mired by overly simple and unremarkable platforming, unhelped by a disjointed narrative that left me with zero investment in its story.

Yet its second half does a fantastic job of leaning into its strengths, and when I rolled credits I couldn't help but wish the entire game had been this way.
