The big games are starting to roll out this month, and they’ll be arriving next Thursday Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, with the development team that created the latest installment of Rayman, something that has raised eyebrows among those who expect new games based around the franchise. However, as is well known, the specialized agency has been fortunate to test some titles in advance and many of them have already given their respective ratings to the networks.
Fortunately, this game fulfills what one is looking for, as it has a rating of 86 so far Metacritic, with comments that tell us it’s worth a Metroidvania-style launch and that it could be put on the best footing of 2024 from this moment on, even though not a month has passed. They say that its mechanics are familiar from other titles, but it still knows how to earn its place due to the original touch of the story that comes from it.
Here are some comments from the media:
Dexerto: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is an unmitigated triumph that sets the future for this fallen franchise. We hope it finds its audience because it would be a tragedy for something so good to be lost again.
Ariajugons: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is not only the first great video game of 2024, but also one of the best Metroidvanias in recent years.
Easy Ally: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a successful reinvention of the dormant franchise that creates a wonderful new identity, which clearly has a bright future. While it doesn’t revolutionize the Metroidvania genre, it certainly refines it and elevates it to new heights by combining the best aspects of previous Prince of Persia entries. Combined with a great soundtrack, a stylish aesthetic, and an intriguing narrative that avoids the danger of being too overbearing, The Lost Crown makes for a great start to 2024.
TRG: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown paints a picture of sustainable development by pouring all the excitement of a modern AAA release into a small package. Full of ideas and experiments, it’s top notch.
Remember that this game comes 18 D Enero for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch and PC. Enjoy the reviews available on Atomix.

Editor’s note: The truth is I didn’t expect much from the game, but now with the reviews that have come in I’m excited to play it and maybe I’ll pass on another title this month to try out this new adventure. I’ll have to try the demo to see if it finally trusts my wallet.
