    Damn this is more metroidvania than I thought, and some of the visuals also remind me of the charm of AC Chronicles. This game is now definitely on my radar.
    For relaxing times...

    How soon do Ubisoft add stuff to Ubi+ I have a sub that lasts until the end of the month and I am wondering if I will be able to get this done before it ends.

    This looks fantastic for me. As a huge fan of Rayman Legends, I’ll be jumping into this soon.
    Go Dawgs! Let’s go for 3 in ‘23!

    Did I imagine seeing a demo for this would be available today or tomorrow?

    Can’t get past the £50 asking price though. Seems like way too much, it costs more than the new Assassin’s Creed ffs

    I'm not happy with Ubisoft. I've only just heard about them cancelling the sequel for Immortals angry

    Ah, found it. Had to go into the store, then games, then demos, then view all and it was a few rows down! 😮 Searching for it or trying to get it from the game page didn't work surprisingly.

    15 quid for one month of uni plus and cancel it straight away. That's how I played Mirage.

    Same here, I thought it was a side scrolling platformer, now it's a Day 1 Buy.

    And with the Xbox App you can pre-download the game even if you haven't purchased it yet and even if you don't have Ubisoft+. I downloaded Assassin's Creed Mirage & Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora before they released and bought one month of Ubisoft+ the day they came out.

    This will sell like garbage and be "proof" that that franchise needs put away....meanwhile we still never got a sequel to the 2008 cliffhanger or the Sand of Time trilogy on xbox....
    State of the badass art.

    Is this one of those scams where you make stupid predictions in a ton of places and then keep following up only in the places where you were right so you can con the people into paying you for your ability to "tell the future?"

    Cuz I think you got it wrong this time, Your Prophetness.

    Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a fantastic entry into the platforming and Metroidvania genres. While it falls short in some areas, which can leave you feeling somewhat frustrated, the overall experience is a sequence of satisfaction-inducing challenges. As the first new entry into the franchise we've seen in some time, The Lost Crown is a fantastic place for Ubisoft to start, and I'd like to see more.
    Thanks for a great review of what looks to be a great game.

    One particular boss, a bow-wielding enemy who I shan't name for spoiler's sake


    Surely this is still a spoiler? laugh
