Compared to the Sands of Time games, this one is not as challenging, but it is enjoyable in a casual, relaxing sort of way. Not as good as SoT or Two Thrones, but better than Forgotten Sands
If you had already played the other Prince of Persia games, you would have hated it. I was so hyped for it cause the graphics looked awesome for their time. I've never been more disappointed by a game. I didn't enjoy it at all. I tried to stick with it, too, because I loved the series and I hoped it would get better. But it never did. One of the worst games I've ever played.
@@rubemortenson1724 I actually finished Sands of Time, Warrior Within, and Two Thrones 2 or 3 months ago. I enjoyed them. The dialogues were definitely early 2000's, which got better after each sequel, and the camera work as well. Though the ladies were definitely sexier in those earlier games.
The gameplay was good. The only thing that made it boring was elika's ability to save the prince from death Everytime. Like it doesn’t impose any challenge like the other games cuz you can't literally die.
This makes perfect sense. She is physically bound, not magically. So, she could use her magic for an emergency, but not for anything else. And if she were to teleport, she would still be bound, just with the Prince near her, because that’s the only spot she could take him to. What’s the issue?=) This game is fantastic!
@@IrrationalGamer So after playing this game for some hours, I didn't want to finish it. It definitely looks beautiful and the parkour is nice but the battles are not. It is more of a parkour game than an action game, should have had a good balance.
There's gotta be a meme for this because i was literally nostalgia-ing so hard on one of the best video games ever, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, last night, and i realized our bro Persian Prince here spends the entire game telling Farrah about how they totally fell in love and referred to her in the third person, according to the story's narrative. I love this game so much, it's my fav romance in a video game ever, but, like, that had to be hella weird for poor Farrah, right??!?!?!
The developers must have fought, you know what no one has done? A game that you never die, and everyone in the room was like daaaaem they're never expect that!
@@IrrationalGamer assassins creed rogue i really loved the game but unity was the best except that it was so buggy n u optimised that i couldn't play it,origins odessey n valhalla are utter garbage
Man Prince of Persia has to be the best game ever to be made, the game mechanic is so good and great the combat Mechanic is awesome, to play with, and this game has so many inspired game alot.
There is literally a boss fight against this exact boss where she takes elika away and replaces her with illusions, just jump to your death and she will come save you
I only managed to play the beginning of the game in 4K. It looked really beautiful. I don't know what happened, but the 4K resolution was removed for me from the Launcher.
I thought you were talking about how Prince fell through the mirage column, and yet Erika chose to also fall with him despite seeing clearly he fell through. (but maybe the concubine's witchcraft was what made her fall) I thought you meant how the prince is down on the stage, but after the end of the cutscene, he's up the podium. I even thought you meant Erika could've used her power to return back in time, and warn Prince the column is fake and that the concubine is going to ensnare her. But nooooooooo... What really grinds your gears? having her reach out to save him from falling even though she's in distress. which's if anything an admirable deed. you're just as picking as a net.
@@IrrationalGamer Her being stuck means she can't move, not that she can't use her powers. that's why she teleports Prince to her beside instead of the place he jumped from. because she's stuck. No I'm not a fan of THIS game, I prefer the sands trilogy. also I did mention three other things that were flawed in this scene, but you looked over those a second time. I supoose you're a fan of your own voice.
@@tremendousyeet3467 If she can use powers why not use those powers to get free in the first place? Like I said before this game won't allow the prince to die. Maybe the developers were too lazy to code a game over screen.
@@IrrationalGamer nah, it's just wall running and freezing water and air dash. This guy literally crawls on the ceiling. The Parkours can extend for so long on this one and it's so stylish.
Just... pretend it as a checkpoint...and you skiped the 'Game over. Try again? Yes/No' I guess... I'm just starting to play this masterpiece for a week after an exhausting day...
It is one of those games that 'do not let their main hero REALLY die'. Like Bioshock.... these kind of games require a system that actually makes logical sense when it comes to 'not letting the main hero die'. For example, the medical machines that would keep reviving the hero in Bioshock. Or a princess that wouldnt let the prince die in this game. But I guess there are always mistakes...😂 Sometimes even the finest games have some problems.
@@IrrationalGamer true! I mean, im happy that somebody enjoyed it, but clearly our standard lowered so much. We went from warrior within to bad prince of Persia games to the death of prince of Persia as a brand in a couple of years
@@moeali7368 I actually love warrior within more than everything. Infact, what I mean is: if people considers prince or persia 2008 a masterpiece, the warrior within is the GOAT
this Prince of Persia is great game just like POP Trilogy but in a unique manner most importantly it's story and the game connecting us with in game character so well that we feel like we know each others and progressing 2gether loved this game!! (I'll be including this game too in my pop logic vids)
10:43 when me and my brother played at this part we had no idea what to do and were absolutely dumbfounded, we later put this on a shelf only remembering this game today - 4 years after we broke our ps3
To be honest I got bored of this game pretty quickly and never finished it. This game is so repetitive and boring after couple hours in. Yeah the graphics are good, the ost is great, the fight mechanics are cool but that's it. This is the only pop since SOT which I never finished and don't want to either else I've played all other games from SOT to FS and liked them all.
I love this game I don't know why people hate this ,why people like only same things again and again ,this games is masterpiece nice music nice dialogue story everything is well connected I still feel vibes of this game in my blood and I can't forget it ever
It's not a gripe, it's a design feature so there are no breaks in the story and flow of the game (flow is what this game is all about). Tell me, why would a game over screen make this game better? What would it even change except breaking up the flow?
@@Jort007 I'm not sure you understand the meaning of "gripe". And what would it change? Story wise - nothing. Player wise - a lot. If I have to explain further, then you completely don't understand the mentality of a gamer.
@@Dkmasteris There is not just one 'mentality of a gamer', people play games for lots of different reasons and there are games catering to a lot of different people and offering diverse experiences. Holding the fact that you can't die against a game that very purposefully implemented this to enhance the experience the developers were aiming for, is just plain ignorance. I understand if the game is not for you and you prefer other types of games with more traditional mechanics, but 'not being able to die' is obviously not a valid criticism of the game itself. Besides, in the platforming sections you can still fail and will be put back a bit, same as many other platformers where you do 'die'. The only real difference is the animation that plays. It's funny because I've never heard anyone complain about not being able to die in games like Journey, which do this for mostly the same reasons as Prince of Persia. Probably because Prince of Persia is more like a traditional type of game regarding its other mechanics so people expected a dying mechanic to be there.
@@Jort007 There you go, you answered yourself. It's exactly because it's a "PoP" game that this criticism IS valid. We expect death if we fail too much. How are we expected to feel the same bum clenching Adrenaline that we got from running from the Dahaka if there's no associable price to pay? How is one supposed to feel anger towards his foe, if the most it can do is down you? The mechanics might be similar, but the emotions are not. It might not be fair for the game, that's true, but they dug their own hole for changing what made Prince of Persia - Prince of Persia. The game would have probably done much better if they didn't try to sell it as one and instead would have named it under a new IP. And while it's true that there a a lot of different flavoured gamers- we're talking about a singular group now, so no need to encompass them all just to satisfy your own narrative A die hard Sims player will not be playing Dark Souls now, will they? So let's just stick to your average POP player from the early 2000s - ok?
@@Dkmasteris There are no rules for what a game under the name of 'Prince of Persia' should be, developers can do what they want with the name as it's THEIR product. You being let down by the 2008 game is the result of your expectations alone. I'll give you that expecting a similar game under the same name is pretty logical, but at the same time it was pretty clearly marketed as a reboot and not a continuation of the old games. So it makes sense the game is quite different from the older ones. Same as the Tomb Raider reboot, those games are completely different from what Tomb Raider used to be, but that doesn't make them worse. I'm all for developers trying new things, Prince of Persia 2008 was actually quite an experimental game and that is to be applauded for such a big studio. But it's probably also the reason why they felt they needed to attach the Prince of Persia name to it to ensure they would get enough sales. Your criticism would only be valid if the game was a continuation of, or was aiming for a similar experience as the old PoP's. But it's not. It was a reboot and it was aiming to do new things, a new story, new characters, new world, new gameplay mechanics, just the same brand name. Criticism should be based on what a game sets out to do and how well it actually does those things (which is definitely not perfect in the case of PoP 2008), not on how it's different from other games or your own expectations. So no your criticism is not valid, it's just you being disappointed you didn't get something more like the old Prince of Persia. Which is totally fine and understandable, but not valid criticism.
Idc what people say this was actually pretty good (not good as original trilogy) but this part has its own charm. And I absolutely loved this game. It was totally a different experience
Different, Linear, Artistic, Great OST. I don't know which feature was more powerful. Only if it didn't have that orb collection mania, I'd try it again.
This game was repetitive af. Same enemies throughout the game and only 3 or 4 bosses. Nothing memorable. Definitely the worst pop game of all time. Its not true to pop theme. The repetition of things in this legit gave me headaches.
I could never get into this game. It looks great visually but that's about it. I never liked how you can't die at all. That made it too easy and boring for me. Actually I never fully completed this game and I am Prince Of Persia fan but this game is just way too different.
Игры
man, I have played all 4 main POP games. I was thinking to give this game a try. after seeing your video, I think I'm done.
Hehehe, its linear but the ost and art is great no doubt, and its a fun game for half an hour.
Its actually a really good game it has great platforming and dialogue but just alright combat and it aged pretty well too

@@Dkmasteris There are no rules for what a game under the name of 'Prince of Persia' should be, developers can do what they want with the name as it's THEIR product. You being let down by the 2008 game is the result of your expectations alone.
I'll give you that expecting a similar game under the same name is pretty logical, but at the same time it was pretty clearly marketed as a reboot and not a continuation of the old games. So it makes sense the game is quite different from the older ones. Same as the Tomb Raider reboot, those games are completely different from what Tomb Raider used to be, but that doesn't make them worse.
I'm all for developers trying new things, Prince of Persia 2008 was actually quite an experimental game and that is to be applauded for such a big studio. But it's probably also the reason why they felt they needed to attach the Prince of Persia name to it to ensure they would get enough sales.
Your criticism would only be valid if the game was a continuation of, or was aiming for a similar experience as the old PoP's. But it's not. It was a reboot and it was aiming to do new things, a new story, new characters, new world, new gameplay mechanics, just the same brand name. Criticism should be based on what a game sets out to do and how well it actually does those things (which is definitely not perfect in the case of PoP 2008), not on how it's different from other games or your own expectations.
So no your criticism is not valid, it's just you being disappointed you didn't get something more like the old Prince of Persia. Which is totally fine and understandable, but not valid criticism.
Game where you can't die doesn't exi...
There's not a big deal in coding and designing a GAME OVER Screen though.
The Power and the bond of Friendship temporarily broke her restraint, Problem? 🤨
Its not a bug its a feature😂
Tried this game back when I was 11... I hated the fact you literally can't die if you fuck up. It kind of kills the point of even trying to fight.
Reminds me of the current state of my country "Man look at the style of our leader and look how he smiles". lol.
I beg to differ. This looks more like that girl used all of her powers to save you no matter what.
Oh Yeah? Thanks for the explanation.
This prince of persia is made by western mythological logic.(just a joke)😂
Lol. Made by stoned.
One of my best experience
U can't die in this game and that was new
But i liked this game & it's gameplay. Just thing i didn't like is this game is feels lonely while playing.
Idc what people say this was actually pretty good (not good as original trilogy) but this part has its own charm. And I absolutely loved this game. It was totally a different experience
Different, Linear, Artistic, Great OST. I don't know which feature was more powerful. Only if it didn't have that orb collection mania, I'd try it again.
Hahaha 😂😂, i just have to finish this gAme, i have finished all without it
?
@@IrrationalGamer saare game khel liya bas pop 2008 bakk hai

This game was repetitive af. Same enemies throughout the game and only 3 or 4 bosses. Nothing memorable. Definitely the worst pop game of all time. Its not true to pop theme. The repetition of things in this legit gave me headaches.
I could never get into this game. It looks great visually but that's about it. I never liked how you can't die at all. That made it too easy and boring for me. Actually I never fully completed this game and I am Prince Of Persia fan but this game is just way too different.
Poor man's nextgen game.
u cant die in this game. Unik and memorable game
Yes.
Game devs laughing at player base mistaking their laziness as lore
Let them sleep.
Artstyle is my favourite
For a second i thought It's Assassin's creed
Both are from Ubi so...
I thought this was a great game. Lots people hate on it but I loved the design and the gameplay. Storyline was perfect.
There's nothing wrong with the design or ost but "LINEARITY"
