    Eye candy with a delicious dollop of atmosphere

    I am a game connoisseur, not a pro. That is to say and am very well informed and seek out specific experiences. I love platforming, especially the modern incarnation of scaling tall structures with breath-taking vistas.

    This game has lovely art, a whimsical but sufficient story, and very easy controls. Aided by the ever-present button prompts I was never at at a loss.

    I would have liked a bit more variety in the combat, but that's a minor flaw.

    I have kids to look after and a demanding job. For me, this game was perfect. Fun and beautiful and ultimately emotionally rewarding.

      Prince of Persia is the latest re-imagining of a franchise that is nearly two decades old now. This new addition retains all the qualities that make a Prince of Persia game great with fun platforming, interesting characters and acrobatic swordplay. There is a special emphasis on the presentation this time around and everything feels a lot more cinematic. However, this outstanding presentation comes at a cost and while the semi-automatic platforming is fun to watch, it's not as...
