My favourite always been Warrior Within, that game blowed my mind at the time. Im excited for Lost Crown, i like metroidvanias and it seems like a pretty expansive one, and its made by the team that made Rayman Origins and Legends, so that's a good sign.
I personally have a soft spot for Warrior Within. The game design just hit the spot for me, I loved the new time mechanics, it looks fantastic, I enjoy having a prince that is completely soured to reality and over his predicament where an immortal monster is constantly stalking him and trying to kill him and most importantly, I love the Dahaka. That guy scared the shit out of me as a teenager and still gives me the chills on replays and his boss fight is challenging as hell. Truly a worthy game-long opponent, unlike the Vizir in Sands of Time.
I agree almost point for point. My only gripe is that I’d swap WW and POP08. Warrior Within improved the minutia of combat, but injected battle into every spare minute of the game that it could manage. You were CONSTANTLY having platforming sections interrupted with little fights here and there, which was just the wrong call. SOT had worse combat mechanics, but it had the decency to keep the fighting contained to its own little sections. In addition, WW is the jankiest of that trilogy, with physics and graphical bugs regularly, the entire presentation was so nu-metal cringe, and the quasi-open-world made exploration a chore rather than a spectacle. POP08 just had a far more interesting aesthetic, story, characters, scenarios, environments and overall design. Combat wasn’t better mechanically, but its placement in the overall game was superior. Just a better experience overall, there absolutely should have been a sequel rather than Forgotten Sands.
POP! I really liked the 2008 reboot and Sands of Time but those were the only ones I’ve played. I’ve got next week off from work and my plan is to get the deluxe version of Lost Crown to enjoy all week long 🤩 (it looks amazing, like Metroid Dread)
I've played sands of time at least 8-10 times, and i just dont get the hype. I mean, its great game, but i've just never enjoyed it that much as the others. The combat and the constant use of dagger sucks, not that 2008 is much better, but i enjoy the world and atmosphere more
I had 2 thrones on wii it was called rival swords on wii, was my favourite and loved the dark prince, Also I loved the horror and eerie atmosphere of warrior within.
I haven’t played or seen these games since like 2010 forgotten sands. Just rewatching these clips, I completely agree with a lot of the comments on story/gameplay. The rankings are solid too
This is a good list- but there's a small nitpick I wanna bring up. The Sands of Time is not often considered the fan favorite by most Prince fans - usually it's Warrior Within! :)
The trillogy will forever be top for me with Warrior Within at the very top I absolutely loved 2008 though, the adventure, the myth, the characters - charming and lovely. Even gave some feels. And the graphics and art style is absolutely gorgeous, timeless even. It still looks SO GOOD Forgotten Sands was alright and fun to playthrough but i never came back to it
You are right about pop 2008. People said that the game would have been better without the orb collecting so I listened and download a mod to stop the orb collecting. One of the best 5 hours spent! Nothing felt that it overstayed it's welcome and that ending man!!!
OMG Cinematic platformers! Props for using the correct term.. I’m just coming off Forgotten Sands on ps3.. I was a little torn on continuing with Two Thrones ps2 vs PSP but ultimately decided on the former due to the better camera.. But I’m taking a bit of a break from it.. Sands is still the best I’ve played although the others def had moments of greatness.. I really think Ubi should consider remaking PoP 2 & Arabian Nights this way they can be really good!! After all they remade the original..
Cool, the first Prince of Persia game I played was the demo of Prince of Persia 3D. The first full version of a PoP game I had was Sands of Time. EDIT: PoP
Actually the reason why I’m an AC fan is because I know it’s in the same family.. Granted I agree they focused a little too much on that one series when there should be more of a balance.. It reminds me of the SMT Persona situation
@@supersamples1718 I feel like I can’t keep up with AC.. There’s still a lot I haven’t even played.. Nevertheless I’d rather have too much than not enough if I could choose
I agree with you. I didn't like Warrior Within as much as Sands of Time and the Two Thrones. A lot of people seem to consider it the best game in the series.
The combat in Sands of Time is so boring it actually made me stop playing. Warrior Within so far is my favorite but I hope the remake of Sands takes that place.
This made very nostalgic for classic ubisoft. I saw some splinter cell games in your backlog video, is there a splinter cell ranking coming this year, I think I liked it better than POP
My favourite was also Sands of Time. I played it both in Gamecube and PS2, and the Gamecube version was way better! People say PS2 was better overall than Gamecube, Im not really sure, perhaps it was just hype
I'm hoping next year we get to play the Sands of Time Remake next. I'm also hoping that Ubisoft remakes the Sands of Time saga. The next games I hope follows after the Sands of Time Remake is Forgotten Sands Remake and Wii version remade for PS5 and Xbox Series X. The Warrior Within should follow after those two titles and after the Two Thrones Remake to finish the Remake Series before releasing the new game.
I sincerely think that FS is underrated, the combat sucks but the movement and platforming is so smooth, I love the "freeze water power". Another underrated game is WW, the combat is great, exploration, ambiance, etc. The dark tone fits really well to it. The only complain is that isn't obvious what to do to reach the true ending. POP 08 is boring AF. I think that ST is overrated, it's the worst in the trilogy: worst combat, worst graphics, worst platforming (it's the easiest to miss jumps), it's the easiest in the trilogy. Yeah, they nailed the ambiance, but nothing more. 3d is just awful, I played in early 2000, it was already a pile of trash. I loved the first two games, I was really disappointed with it. Pop TT was amazing, but I still prefer the darker WW. IMO: 1- WW 2- TT 3- FS 4- ST 5- 08 6- 3D
Yup, I prefer the level design of Two Thrones as well, it's the best, and I prefer the story of TT to WW, but I prefer the darker tone and soundtrack of WW better. Also PoP3D's main problem is the input delay, which makes the game unresponsibe, but the level design for most levels is pretty good and the combat is enjoyable and was ahead of its time design wise.
Yea even my favourite is warrior within. The thing is i can't play any other prince of persia after warrior within. Even the two thrones lokked me boring. I hardly played forgotten sands because it had some vibe something similar to warrior within. I think there shoud be another visit should be there to that island of time,such a horror pop series. Seriously its not for beginners. Only experts can play.
Here is what we need, next pop game should take off after two thrones, The original prince is older and Farah aswell, Babylon & Persia was devastated by the events in Two thrones, hostile Kingdoms pounce while Persia is still weaker, you play as Farahs and old Princes Son to defend Persia, with beutiful modern graphics mixture of old fashioned brutal combat system mix between WW and TT.
A top 7 would be better, since the different versions of Forgotten Sands aren’t really versions, but completely different games, and the Wii game would obviously have ranked higher than the HD game.
Well I did cover both games in the video, I just combined them since while I think the wii game is better I still had the placement right next to the HD one.
In my mind Warrior Within has always been my favorite; amazing music, cool visuals, fun gameplay and weird story... but I actually never finished it, years later I found out my game bugged out and a certain story event never triggered. In truth, my actual favorite would be either the Two Thrones or the 2008 reboot. I replayed both countless times and I enjoyed them every single time, thinking about it, I should probably replay them again hahaha.
I Don't Know man i love warrior within more then sands of time and i know every secret locations of warrior within compared to the sands of time and also yes two thrones also decent....
About sands of time i really dont like his costume,such a over looking like old british uniform.and don't like his hairstyle .neither the palace environment. It all looks simple and regular. Had no essence.
Two thrones is worse than even the 2008 game. Big step down from Warrior Within and not just because of the worse soundtrack, combos and lack of blood. The story was forgettable and Babylon was not as pretty as in Sands of Time.
Warrior Within is overrated and easily the most irritating game in the series. Boring level retreading, overly edgy mid 2000's vibe, annoying and broken boss design, best ending locked behind all health upgrades. And it's worst sin is terrible checkpointing and time wasting, with it's most egregious examples being when you haven't saved in ages and die trying to get a health upgrade. Forgotten Sands is a straight up better game which makes this list hilarious. Two thrones is the best game in my opinion. The least annoying of the sands trilogy. Edit: Just cause, here is my ranking: 1. Two Thrones 2. Sands of Time 3. PoP 08 4.Forgotten Sands 5.Warrior Within
My favourite always been Warrior Within, that game blowed my mind at the time. Im excited for Lost Crown, i like metroidvanias and it seems like a pretty expansive one, and its made by the team that made Rayman Origins and Legends, so that's a good sign.
Same feelings

That guy scared the shit out of me as a teenager and still gives me the chills on replays and his boss fight is challenging as hell. Truly a worthy game-long opponent, unlike the Vizir in Sands of Time.
Personally only played Sands of Time but I definitely remember being scared shitless of the skeletons in the first level haha
The Wii version of the Forgotten Sands is very underrated. Had so much fun playing it as a kid
I agree almost point for point. My only gripe is that I’d swap WW and POP08.

10:12 You're not wrong... but you ain't right, haha! 😂
The Sands of Time is a real masterpiece. Probably my favourite game of all time!
POP! I really liked the 2008 reboot and Sands of Time but those were the only ones I’ve played. I’ve got next week off from work and my plan is to get the deluxe version of Lost Crown to enjoy all week long 🤩 (it looks amazing, like Metroid Dread)
My List:
1. Warrior Within
2. Two Thrones
3. POP 2008
4. The Sands of Time
5. The Forgotten Sands
no way 2008 better than sands of time u trippin
sands of time is the best
That proves you never played sand of times
Sands of time is Far better than 2008 Prince of Persia, Even Forgotten Sands Is better.
I've played sands of time at least 8-10 times, and i just dont get the hype. I mean, its great game, but i've just never enjoyed it that much as the others. The combat and the constant use of dagger sucks, not that 2008 is much better, but i enjoy the world and atmosphere more
5:57 caught you slacking
Prince of Persia was epic during the 6 generation!
I had 2 thrones on wii it was called rival swords on wii, was my favourite and loved the dark prince, Also I loved the horror and eerie atmosphere of warrior within.
Sands of time was and is my favorite. Played the others too, but my tierlist is kinda like yours.
I haven’t played or seen these games since like 2010 forgotten sands. Just rewatching these clips, I completely agree with a lot of the comments on story/gameplay. The rankings are solid too
The 2008 game looked amazing imo, the entire vibe and artstyle were great
This is a good list- but there's a small nitpick I wanna bring up.
The Sands of Time is not often considered the fan favorite by most Prince fans - usually it's Warrior Within!
:)
The only pop I played on repeat was warrior within because of its world and lore behind it plus you get to have a beautiful crush 😂
The trillogy will forever be top for me with Warrior Within at the very top
I absolutely loved 2008 though, the adventure, the myth, the characters - charming and lovely. Even gave some feels. And the graphics and art style is absolutely gorgeous, timeless even. It still looks SO GOOD
Forgotten Sands was alright and fun to playthrough but i never came back to it

The Crackdown-like orb collecting was fun, tbh, and rewarded exploration.
OMG Cinematic platformers! Props for using the correct term.. I’m just coming off Forgotten Sands on ps3.. I was a little torn on continuing with Two Thrones ps2 vs PSP but ultimately decided on the former due to the better camera.. But I’m taking a bit of a break from it..

EDIT: PoP
Nostalgic Vibes for sure... 🙆🏻♂️✌️
Crazy how the 2008 one looks much better then the one made later. Loads of Driving games use the rewind mechanic now😅
Knew you’d dunk on it, but Prince of Persia 3D is underrated!
Back then we had sexy women in games like warriors within try this now all would cry it will be always my favorite
Exactly, I don't get why every single women in games now, main or even side characters, is either very unattractive or just plain as plain can be.
Now with all those woke a$$h0les running the industry we have non binaries and gae s
Bro, massive cap. Warrior Within is the goat
For me Warrior Within is the best POP game! And I really like to see a remake of this masterpiece
First Prince of Persia i played was the Original on the Amiga 1200 in the 90s! still my favourite.,
I hate Assasins Creed because kill this masterpiece:/
Yeah Assassins Creed took over Prince of Persia, I remember them saying when It came out everyone was comparing it to POP when it first came out🙂
Actually the reason why I’m an AC fan is because I know it’s in the same family.. Granted I agree they focused a little too much on that one series when there should be more of a balance.. It reminds me of the SMT Persona situation
Blame Ubisoft
If Assassins Creed never happened than PoP would have been the series that ended up being stretched to death like Assassins Creed
@@supersamples1718 I feel like I can’t keep up with AC.. There’s still a lot I haven’t even played.. Nevertheless I’d rather have too much than not enough if I could choose
I agree with you. I didn't like Warrior Within as much as Sands of Time and the Two Thrones. A lot of people seem to consider it the best game in the series.
It was then and is now WW is peak
It has aged the best. The level design and combat are amazing. It's the best action-plaformer till Jedi Survivor came out
The combat in Sands of Time is so boring it actually made me stop playing. Warrior Within so far is my favorite but I hope the remake of Sands takes that place.
I played WW first and then went back to replay Sands. I couldn't even understand why people said Sands was better
This made very nostalgic for classic ubisoft. I saw some splinter cell games in your backlog video, is there a splinter cell ranking coming this year, I think I liked it better than POP
perhaps! I havent played all of them yet, but maybe this year! I am hopeful
My favourite was also Sands of Time. I played it both in Gamecube and PS2, and the Gamecube version was way better! People say PS2 was better overall than Gamecube, Im not really sure, perhaps it was just hype
For me WW is the best.
I'm hoping next year we get to play the Sands of Time Remake next. I'm also hoping that Ubisoft remakes the Sands of Time saga.

3d is just awful, I played in early 2000, it was already a pile of trash. I loved the first two games, I was really disappointed with it.
Pop TT was amazing, but I still prefer the darker WW.
IMO:
1- WW
2- TT
3- FS
4- ST
5- 08
6- 3D
Solid list man I really wish we would’ve gotten the actual sequel to WW Kindred blades
My list is:
1) Warrior Within
2) Sands Of Time
3) Two Thrones
4) Lost Crown
5) F Sands
6) Pop 2008
Yup, I prefer the level design of Two Thrones as well, it's the best, and I prefer the story of TT to WW, but I prefer the darker tone and soundtrack of WW better.
Also PoP3D's main problem is the input delay, which makes the game unresponsibe, but the level design for most levels is pretty good and the combat is enjoyable and was ahead of its time design wise.
The warrior within the best! The boat scene, kaileena is hot 🔥
Two thrones is my all time favorite prince of persia game.. than ww and sot
My top list
1.pop warrior within
2. Forgotten sands
3. All other pop series

Yea even my favourite is warrior within. The thing is i can't play any other prince of persia after warrior within. Even the two thrones lokked me boring.
I hardly played forgotten sands because it had some vibe something similar to warrior within. I think there shoud be another visit should be there to that island of time,such a horror pop series.
Seriously its not for beginners. Only experts can play.

08 definitely should've gotten a sequel
Sand of Time
Trilogy ❤
Best of Best
EVERY 3D PRINCE OF PERSIA IS $2 EACH ON STEAM
A top 7 would be better, since the different versions of Forgotten Sands aren’t really versions, but completely different games, and the Wii game would obviously have ranked higher than the HD game.
Well I did cover both games in the video, I just combined them since while I think the wii game is better I still had the placement right next to the HD one.
GodSmack intensifies, I lie to myself and say Warrior Within is the best
It is the best then and the best now
For me :
1.Warrior Within
2.Sands of Time
3.the two thrones
4.the forgotten sands
4. pop 3D
5.Prince of Persia (2008)
Impatiently waiting on the remake :/ Pop !
I’m glad the new game is a 2D metroidvania.
WW & TTT goated
>>>>
The Sands of Time 6/10
Its the only ranking tbf everyone else is just coping
WW>The Sands of Time> TTT
In my mind Warrior Within has always been my favorite; amazing music, cool visuals, fun gameplay and weird story... but I actually never finished it, years later I found out my game bugged out and a certain story event never triggered.

Sad that the first game, Sands of Time (let's ignore 3D here), was the best one and it just went downhill after that.
I Don't Know man i love warrior within more then sands of time and i know every secret locations of warrior within compared to the sands of time and also yes two thrones also decent....
The original platformer was the best...60 mins to save the princess from the evil sultan....oh and the fat boss in level 6 was impossible.
B3dakin harawkan uuuu guessed it
Worrier within was the best game you cant change the fact...!!!
Pop
I just realised how ugly the two thrones looked, especially the HD version
About sands of time i really dont like his costume,such a over looking like old british uniform.and don't like his hairstyle .neither the palace environment. It all looks simple and regular. Had no essence.
❤️
Sorry to say lost crown is better than sands of time to me.
Warrior within was the best, Period!!!!!!!!!
Two thrones is worse than even the 2008 game. Big step down from Warrior Within and not just because of the worse soundtrack, combos and lack of blood. The story was forgettable and Babylon was not as pretty as in Sands of Time.
Sigh* you can thank you whiny Sands fans for that Kindred Blades would’ve easily beat WW

5.Warrior Within
the 2D games are better
