Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown review — 2024’s first must-play


If you love Metroidvanias as much as I do, then this will likely be your first candidate for 2024's game of the year.

Then there’s the modern classics, games like the Ori series and Hollow Knight that have taken the formula and made them interesting with new mechanics and art styles. The game does a good job of pointing you toward every direction of the map, but a little exploration will lead to a bevy of hidden items, upgrades, shortcuts and more. My favorite is an area that takes place on the open sea, with you traversing a bunch of ships frozen in time in the midst of a battle.
