Hi SwitchUp Family - a pleasure to have something like this to review so early in 2024. I have to be honest I really didn't think this would turn out as it has, but here we are! Let's find out! Mark
Hey guys, love the channel! Question for this game: can you rebind controls on Switch at all? Couldn't do it during the demo.
The first of many great reviews of 2024 on here
Thanks for the review all this makes me want to buy it and thanks for all the reviews in the past on other games you help me make my decisions on buying game on the switch I have so many game now I can't keep up 😂
then it sounds like they didn't make it, only publish it with devs that know what they are doing

I’m hoping this game does well enough that we see more games with this much depth, style, polish, and clear passion. Lost Crown takes the best of Hollow Knight, Metroid Dread, and Ori; offers deep combat and platforming, and will easily keep players glued to the screen. No doubt, I’ll wind up playing the demo another 4 times.

i have my doubts a lot of gamers these days days see side scrolling and instantly think indie/cheap, but I hope it does!

There’s a demo?! Heck yeah thank you.
It takes nothing from Prince Of Persia though
I congratulate the devs/studio on this game cause it was their first attempt and they actually studied a lot of the recent modern metroidvania games to achieve a good overall product.
At first glance i see they took a lot of inspiration from certain metroidvanias like metroid dread when it comes about the graphics and movement , map design and puzzles from ori, the nieche detail with the save points that have around them that breeze of yellow air is a reference to what afterimage did with their save point being also a tree but instead of breeze of air they added roots and branches that expanded of that tree in the background showing the way or that you are close to it.
One feature tho i was hoping they would try and mimick would have been from Afterimage, that completely eliminates the rooms and loading screens. Afterimage map is one stage, you never enter rooms and you never encounter loading screens unless you teleport or move from one section of the map really fast to another that is far away, this can only happen in select locations (2 or 3 places). When i saw this i was impressed cause it had 60 fps, is the biggest map i have ever seen in a metroidvania and it was on the nintendo switch, weak hardware but somehow they managed to achieve this on unreal engine.
It was the same team that did Rayman Legends. so they already had amazing platforming under their belt. I had no doubt they could pull a metroidvania off.
@@extoferfyi, the devs used the Unity engine (not Unreal) to make the game.

@sofaking1180 Yeah, correct. However, when you see Ubisoft Montpellier, you shouldn't have that much worry since they have a track of good releases. Now, if it's the other Ubisoft division, then yeah, one should be skeptical.
One of the best reviews I've seen on the game so far; whenever a new game comes out I'm always waiting to hear your thoughts and perspectives. Thanks for all you do!
I played the demo last night and mannnnnnn, what a fun time it was! Runs really well, looks good on the switch with some good music. The cast of characters from the demo had personality and the gameplay was so crisp. Great job Ubisoft and great review! The switch had so many good to great metroidvanias and this joins the list!
Yeah this is easily the best Metroidvania I've played in a while. Really impressed! Mark
@@SwitchUpYt absolutely, and what’s crazy is it’s Ubisoft haha, I know they catch a lot of flack and sometimes rightfully so but you gotta give it to them, they did great with this
Also just played the demo and was so impressed. Combat is so fun, reminds me of ninja gaiden and thor on ds for some reason.
@@abcbcd7974 Thor on ds huh? I never played that, imma have to look at some gameplay
Yeah same story here, nearly ignored this but picked up the demo because of the last vid. The gameplay is just great, handheld on the Switch is the best experience too. Straight on the wishlist.
_Love_ this era where accessibility options make gaming available to so many more people!
Ubi also had EVERY reason to be so confident in this game that they released a demo prior to launch. I'm not too worried about them making yearly releases though. I hope that they're trying to keep smaller-scoped projects that a smaller development team can finish quickly and with a high degree of polish. I'll be playing Tears of the Kingdom until I die... I don't need another open world game that I'll never "finish." Please make shorter games a trend for 2024!
Also, SwitchUp is _killing_ it. Your channel's been one of my go-to's for Switch reviews. In an era of "push it out the door and patch it until it's finished," I especially appreciate the "all patched up" series. Your humor, thoroughness, and follow-up is absolutely fantastic!
❤
It is good but it is not even the shoe of Metroid dread.
@@FelixS. I don’t think fans have to be mutually exclusive. Both can be really good games that people should check out. Some will enjoy the (possible) conclusion to the Metroid series after over 30 years of games. Some will enjoy the relaunch of another classic series, with the possibility to kick off a new chapter in gaming. Let’s not yuck anyone else’s yum.
@@stlwill brother I didn’t say you can’t be fan of both games :) I got my copy of PoP early from my local gamestore and I can wholeheartedly say the game is a good game - a very good games in parts - but it doesn’t come close to the brilliance of Metroid Dread. Visually, level structure, character and monster design, difficult, combat, controls, movement, bosses - all of those are at least one level above PoP. I am fan of both franchises.
Ubisoft does magic with smaller titles, i loved valiant hearts and child of light. So excited for this one!!

What I'd give for a Child of Light 2 !
@@trustyWeedGuySame!!! Child of Light was sooooo fun!!
This is Ubisoft's team behind Rayman Origins, Rayman Legends, and Valiant Hearts Ubisoft Montpellier, so it's less surprising that it's pretty good.
This feels like a modern nostalgia blast, man I can't wait till the next Switch is out!!
I remember in my younger days I would often find the Wak Wak tree, make it grow tall, and procede to restore my health... Seriously, why would they name it that 😆
YES A REVIEW!! I was hoping you would do one. I'm playing the demo endlessly to keep me happy until I pick it up eventually. The fluidity of movement and speed both in combat and traversal, feels like a great amalgamation of Dead Cells with Warrior Within. Additionally, the accessibility options are fantastic and seems to come from learning from the metroidvania giants that came before it, from marking important locations on your map to help you return later, to the ability to skip harder puzzles and completely tweakable combat and challenge elements. Thanks Mark, I'm glad to see you enjoyed it and maybe this might tide you over until Silk Song.
Side note: The comparison to Hollow Knight piques my interest in it as well which, like Glen, I haven't played yet lol.
Oh for sure this one needed the full treatment! Mark
@@SwitchUpYt definitely worthy of a proper SwitchUp critique! I'm glad you did in addition to yesterday's sponsored video which was a great video too.
I was so surprised when the demo popped up, I was expecting to have to roll the dice to see if my experience aligned with online reviews after release.

Yes! Metroidvania time, really looking forward to this one after all the amazing reviews is getting. Reminds me a little bit of the Ori games (the trees for saving/rest/teleporting; the amulet/badges/power ups; the swords and arrow; the possibility of getting to supposedly inaccessible places if you nail the jumps and platforming...)

And as per usual, very thorough review from SwitchUp. Thanks, guys!

@@Ihatevideogames334 you sound like a happy chappie!
Well this was a nice surpise. Just finished the demo. One good thing about the switch version is that you don’t need a Ubisoft account. You can just skip when it asks you make an account.
I played the original on the Amiga 500 and even as a kid and it blew my little mind with the “realistic” movement although even then I remember the input delay using the joystick.
This runs so smoothly and is incredibly responsive. It’s just fun to play. I’m going to pick this one up at some point.
Love the shot at Jirard 🤣. Good review! Playing the demo - something about moving through the environments has a Metroid Dread feel (which I personally feel was the best-controlling game on Switch). Ubisoft did a great job!
Ya it does feel like Metroid Dread more than anything, especially with the parry mechanic. Very slick.
@@sawdust8691 Yeah for sure, parry adds to that vibe!
Some games have counterparts and this definitely a fantasy Metroid Dread.
Daaamn good honest review! Can’t wait to play this one, but it’s a bit expensive here in Canada! It looks worth it though!
The ONLY review/channel (and there's so many) worth its weight in gold! Been eagerly waiting for this game tbh and will definitely be picking it up once I can afford it. Xmas and the kids have skint me 😅🤣 wouldn't have it any other way though ❤
Thank you mate! Mark
This looks like a really fun time. A classic in the making for smaller titles
I preordered this both because I am a big Prince of Persia fan and also because I trusted Ubisoft to pay attention to the Switch version, as they have released some technically impressive games on the system, such as Starlink, Mario & Rabbids, as well as (the underappreciated, in my opinion) Immortals: Fenyx Rising. I was happy to hear they are going for 60fps native resolution in both modes (even Metroid Dread isn't native resolution when docked, only portable) and I was even more happy to see your coverage, as well as Digital Foundry's video comparing versions and praising the Switch version! I am very much looking forward to my physical copy coming next week!
I remember playing the first of Prince of persia game with that nerve wrecking 60 minute game target timer, on a low end PC when I was about 5, and just how cool it felt to time the left mouse click just right to get the 3rd stab on the enemy in the first stage, watch him drop to die with a little music to break the silence, and then that cool 'putting the sword away' animation played! The animations were really groundbreaking then just watching the walk / run differences! How games have changed!!
That third puzzle from them glowing doors JESUS Christ fried all of my brain cells I swear LOL it was so hardddddd 😂😭
@2:16 that is exactly how I felt after 90% of the TOTK puzzles 😂😂😂
Yes❤❤❤🎉haha
I honestly can't wait for this to come. I haven't been this excited for a new game in a while.
Yeah it's really very good.
@@SwitchUpYt I'm so glad. After the Sands of Time and warrior within nothing has come close to capturing the magic. I loved the original as well on the Atari ST and when the mirror bit happened is actually a core memory of mine.
@@Ihatevideogames334 That's a lot of hate. 😕
Got it on the 15th. Just finished it (6 days). Masterpiece!
I love how in the last video you guys were saying how the ambiance music is one composer and the tension music was another?? I think that's so cool. I love when things mesh so well from multiple people.

Super excited for this one. Your review has left me even more pumped, which I wasn't sure was possible. Appreciate the video.
I downloaded the demo after seeing your preview last night, and I gotta say it's a pretty tasty game!
It's TOIGHT (like a toiger) really smooth platforming, and nice combat. My only real complaint would be the voice acting... was there really that many cockneys in ancient Persia?
Just lacks a little gravitas!
3:16 yoooo was that some shade directed at we-all-know-who?! 😂
Thanks for the great reviews as always SwitchUp! Thanks for all you guys bring to the community 😊
I'm currently playing 'Ori and the Will of the Whisps' (bought on sale following your recommendation!) and really, really enjoying it. This looks very similar (in a good way!) so I'm sure I'll be dipping into this asap.
It's great to see a return to form for the series!
Definitely is... It's quite a relief haha
I can’t wait to try the demo this weekend! Really good to see the guided mode included. Making this type of game more accessible for more people can only be a good thing
You guys were one of the first ones to review this, thorough review as well. Thanks guys
I’m definitely trying the demo now, thanks for the review, accurate as always
Wow, what a score gonna have to check out the demo. Last Prince of Persian game I played was on the PlayStation 2 so I have been away for a while. Great video
I tried the demo and now i just cant get it out of my head. The game lives rent free in my head now.
I was so confused until I remembered your video on the game yesterday was a preview 😂 Looks like this one's a great one, I'll check out the demo and then cry about the fact that there's yet another good game on my wishlist 😂
Yeah that was a sponsored video - this is the full Shebang! Mark
I was one of the weirdos that got excited about this when it was announced. I never thought it'd be running this well on Switch though. "Happy Days" :)
I played the demo last night after watching your other video and I had such a fun time playing. This is not my usual genre nowadays but the game looks beautiful and the controls are smooth and easy to understand. Can't wait for the full release even if I know I'll get more than a little bit frustrated with the most challenging puzzle/platforming sections lol.
Great with you guys I recently bought this at the Amazon Prime day sale for just £22.99 on prime day can’t wait to play it.
Love all your reviews been a big fan since i bought my switch cant really find any other channels that have influenced me to buy other games ive never played keep up with the great reviews guys
Thanks to this video and comments I'm going to give the demo a try!
I'll def get this one! I'm so glad the prince is back, it looks amazing!
“Ubi mad to skip this” 😂 great review as always!
I really am excited to see more games like this. Some times open world 80000 hour games are to much.

bro, there are more of these types of games then open world
Just picked this up on sale. Can't wait to play it your review was amazing!!
This one definitely has blowing up positively. Can't wait to try it.
Thank you for in depth review of this game. Now I am so interested in getting this game
Wow, before you review came out i thought the value score may be lower due to the price tag in comparison to other metroidvanias from indie developers but im really looking forward to this one!!!
So glad this turned out well! Definitely picking this up!🤙
This does look amazing. I've been a Prince fan from the first one, although The Shadow and the Flame was my fave. And HK is my favorite metroidvania so saying this will help with the Silksong wait is fantastic news.
I clearly see that it will be a tough competition with Hollow Knight 2 and Prince of Persia's Lost Crown , and that's what we players want .
2:45 thanks for the amazing review guys and wanted to ask what Gamepad is this ?
Woooow did not expect this! I'll definitely be downloading the demo to check it out 😸 thanks for another great review guys!
I was somewhat put off by the price, although to be expected from a big dev like Ubisoft. However given how polished this looks across gameplay, graphics and music, you do get a lot of bang for your buck.
Great review Mark. Think we get a taste of your early skepticism of this game but pleased to see how you were happily surprised by it!
This is definitely going on my wish list!
Price is not a criterion for the quality of the game . The important thing is not to fall into the trap of repetition and boredom .
For sure mate. I'm pleased to be proved wrong. Mark
Gareth Coker did the soundrack on this too? Love that guys work.
i'm so happy this game is reviewing well. We Prince of Persia fans needed this W!!
At long last a Prince game worthy of the Sands of Time! Been looking forward to this ❤
Oh, and it's not another roguesoulslike. Win win in my case! (I get the feeling this one's a contender for SwitchUp GOTY or at least GOTM/GOTQ1 😊
Definitely mate
As soon as this was announced at the direct I was interested, not just because it was a PoP game but because it was my type of game and it looked like it played flawlessly. Honestly I adored Immortals and this gave me the same vibes. Played the demo and it made me want it more. Your enthusiasm for the game seeps out in your tone, so your review is music to my ears
I want this. I want it bad. I want to play this game bad. Demo here i come!
Let me know how you get on with the demo smiley
@@SwitchUpYt im playing the demo right now. It's glorious! Into my wishlist this goes for sure. 😋
Congratulations , I wish you more ... 😂😂😂😂😂
I was thinking about you as soon as I saw the end credits of the review. I thought that guys backlog Is probably going to have to wait....😝
@@ZamWeazle 😂😂😂
Have you tried the demo as well though? It's so good.
Grime is finally coming to switch. And i hear it's complete with dlcs or something. Metroidvania fans is eating good this year. 😋
I’m glad to hear that Ubisoft hit this one out of the park
Great video as always, taking screenshots to attach to the map markers is such a genius mechanic it's weird it took so long for a game in this genre to implement it. (I never use screeenshots/photo mode for personal or social use, so I don't know if there was a way to do this on other games). A question though, does it have any NG+ mechanics (like Blasphemous for example) that make it more replayable without just increasing enemy health ?
Due to embargo we aren't allowed to talk about anything past the mission with the snake I showed
Apparently it does. It's got several difficulties and modifiers for greater replayability.
Wuhuuu, big start of the year! 🎉
That shot at The Completioninst 😂
Thanks for the review! I’m definitely saving my pennies for this one. The movement looks very ‘Dead Cells’ to me with that flowing ‘Swoopy, swishy’ satisfying style. Awesome 🤩
I love that you didn't beat around the bush and immediately let the viewer know that this was going to be a positive review. Keep up the great work. Switch 2 "should" be here later this year, so hopefully you guys keep this channel going for years.
It is not at all about providing positive or negative evaluations , but rather providing objective and transparent evaluations that respect the player’s logic and help him choose whether to purchase or not , far from marketing games or unjustified hatred of companies .
@@salasalsa-mb5gwhopefully I did that 🙏
This looks amazing! I definitely want to grab it! Thanks for the review!
Damn i remember playing Prince of Persia as a kid. Loved all those games so much and waited years before i got a ps3 to play that reboot one. Hope i enjoy this one.
I hope it's the start of a series. I have only played the demo so far (the game comes out on the 18th in EU) but I'm already in love.
Downloading the demo now, great review guys!
Looking forward to picking this one up! I hope it’s as good as it looks!
Really impressed. Like you guys, I wasn't expecting much from this but looks like ol' Ubisoft is doing good here. On to the wishlist it goes! Now to try the demo...
Oh man, a Metroidvania that gets a score of 93?! This just got bumped to the top of the wishlist, and the demo is downloading now.
Great review as always.
I know EXACTLY what you mean by being made to feel like you've solved a puzzle that surely very few people have figured out. It's the sign of fantastic puzzle design.
That part of the review alone made me pause & add this to the Deku Deals wishlist!
I'm surprised how many people have that feeling haha very cool. Mark

A reversion to the Persian immersion creates an explersion in my pants
Played the demo earlier and I was left wanting more when it ended. It's brilliant and I can't wait to play this.
Definitely, you'll love the full game. Mark
@@SwitchUpYt can't wait. Thanks for the reviews. You've saved me a lot of wasted money.
I was really hoping for this game to do well. And now I know it did. Thank for the review❤
Great start to the year, a must pick up for me
This video reminded me of my time playing the Prince of Persia and Assassin's Creed games that was available for java phones. I played them a lot on my Nokia flip phone when I was in highschool. 😂
Hell yeah. So happy with the reception this game is getting. And what a way to kick off 2024. How great would it be to have another metroid game this year and silksong 😊
This is a great example of why thorough review of a game is so valuable: I had questioned the quality of this game because of the art design. It looked too much like a mobile game to me, and my first impression did not seem great. But learning about how great the game is in so many different respects really paints a positive picture.
I spent an hour on the demo last night. Still haven’t completed the demo and am already hooked! This is a banger of a game to start the new year with!
Looks amazing, definitely way more than I was expecting from a new PoP game. Great review, the subtle completionist joke tickled me 😂
This game looks great! Definitely adding it to my collection! Great review, as always.
Been waiting for a quality metroidvania to come out. I’ll be getting this Monday!
This review got me excited for this game! I was on the fence if I should get it and now it got me hyped! 🎉
Ah good stuff!
Playing the demo right now,…this game is AMAZING so far. The controls are super responsive and smooth 🥰 I’m loving the visuals and man the combat 🤯 I can’t wait for this!!
I just finished the demo, and I must say I'm impressed! What I've seen looks good, plays great, and performance is spot on indeed. Traversal is great fun, and the metroidvania aspect seems well implemented, although I'll only know for sure once I play the full version. The combat feels solid, but I can't seem to get the timing of the parry right. A problem I have with plenty of games so maybe that's just me. Still, as someone who played the original game as well as the Sands of Time trilogy, I can really see the influence of both of them in the demo at least. Really a great achievement!
Have been waiting patiently for this to release. The super slick gameplay and combat looks ace as does the anime inspired one hit finishers. Your review has me hyped even more.
This is such a fantastic game, I have been loving it so far. The map is really BIG and varied, I want more from this series in this style of gameplay. Heres hoping, good review.
I already have a few metroidvanias in my backlog and on my wish list, buuuut this is still getting added. I’ll likely wait for a sale, though. Thanks for the thorough review, Mark!
MY LAWD, does this look absolutely beautiful. Thank you gents for covering it, everyone else seems to be naysaying. Looks and sounds amazing, combat and puzzles look great, and the length of the game is blowing me away. Hoping to get a copy later down the line, but thanks for the review gents! Looks amazing!
Definitely going to play this!
Great that Dreads success seems to influence other AAA-Studios.
Awesome, 93% gonna be a great pick up
This game looks a lot of fun to try out. I would definitely get copy of this game (if there's a physical release available). It really appeals to the Metroid crown with a bit more fast paced action.
Way to go Mark, now I’m really hyped for this game! 🤩
