As a PP fan, I played this game. I'll start with the positives.
- Combat system. Unlike the 2008 PP, there is no need to rest here. A crowd of enemies attacks at once, and the Prince has 1 sword and the power of 4 elements. Sometimes there are too many enemies, but fortunately these sand monsters are stupid, and you can often mow down several of them.
- Innovations. As you progress, new abilities will appear, and due to them, new types of acrobatic tricks, for example, temporarily stopping the movement of water and using it as a wall (time rewind, of course, is also available).
- Well-thought-out and implemented decorative elements such as the destruction of a building and well-chosen music create an atmosphere of chaos. In general, the premises of the palace are large and decorated in a beautiful oriental style.
- The Prince's clothes were taken from the famous Warrior Within (and became the Prince's signature outfit, they were also used in the film), given its success, it was a good move.
- Seriously, compare the prince’s face with the princes from the trilogy, are they similar? But this is, officially, the same character and the events take place between parts 1 and 2.
- We are introduced to the Prince’s brother, although before there were not even hints of him. This is not a minus of course, but it bothered me a little. In the second part, the Prince turns time back and forth, and it turns out that his brother is alive again? He's still not there in Part 3. The scales somehow don’t fit, after the fight with the Jinn, Dahaka should be an ordinary enemy for the Prince, and big enemies should not be surprising at all. I just think that if we built a new game in the middle of the chronology of parts, it would be possible to treat such moments in more detail. You can’t create at random and think that the fans will eat everything.
- There is humor in the game, the Prince doesn’t mind making jokes from time to time. However, sometimes it seems out of place.
- Here is the main disadvantage (as for me) - bugs. I don’t know about others, but more than once I fell into textures, came across doors that wouldn’t open, and got stuck out of the blue. By the way, that’s why I didn’t complete the game - I don’t remember exactly, whether the door didn’t open, or something else that, as I read on the Internet, should let me through.
In general, the game is good, but I can’t call it excellent due to my wasted nerves replaying the game.
