    Best 2D game I played to date. It's the latest game I bought and finished it in probably a week because it's a fun game. Other games I bought in the past gets boring and I dont end up finishing them. It's not an easy game tho and the challenges are very tricky. If you want to focus on the story you can tweak the game and skip the challenges. The fun part is you destroy enemies with a killer combo. Upgrade your character. Collect the medalions. Collect all the upgrades. The designs are cartoonish but colorful. If it's on sale grab it now! I grabbed this because Prince of persia are one those old games that gets reinvent and always worth buying.

    About halfway through the game, but fully recommended. Decent challenge which has made me rage a few times. Plenty of hours of gameplay. If you like exploration, character-action-esque combat with epic boss fights, and platforming, get this.

    One of the best metroidvania style games. Loved the story. Loved the asthetic. I liked the exploration, combat, and platforming. I must say though...some of the platforming was a pain in butt, and i mean HUGE pain. You couldn't make a single mistake in order to get those xerxes coins at times. Overall, I loved the game, but a bit of a thumbs down for some of those coins jumps.

    A Great Return to Classic Prince of Persia

    I played the original *Prince of Persia* by Jordan Mechner on MS-DOS, and I’ve loved the series ever since. *The Lost Crown* on Switch is a fantastic return to the side-scrolling roots, with smooth combat, clever platforming, and time powers that actually feel useful. It runs well on the Switch with solid performance and vibrant visuals. A few of the platforming sections can be tricky, and the dialogue is hit or miss, but overall it’s a great mix of nostalgia and modern design. Highly recommended for fans of Metroidvania-style games or classic *Prince of Persia*.

    Been craving for a good 2D metroidvania style game on switch since Metroid dread. Though it’s a bit floaty compared to dread, the combat, combos and style dripping makes up for the constant platforming challenges that seem like a filler

    I will start off by saying that I don't feels its graphics are overly impressive. That's not to say I feel they are terrible and maybe I just prefer pixel art style but they do come off as playstation 2 era to me. Thats not a bad thing but something that just sticks out to me. With that being said this is a great metroidvania style of game. You have 2 modes to choose from, you have easy where they hold your hand a bit and tell you where to go or you can choose the harder mode where you have to look for your next steps on your own. This is a great option for those who are just dipping their toes into the genre or the hardcore vet. I am only about halfway through the game but I highly recommend this game especially for those who just want more metroidvania!

    Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is an awesome game! I’ve been playing it on my Nintendo Switch OLED, and it looks stunning. The gameplay is smooth, with great combat and puzzles that keep me hooked. It’s a fantastic addition for fans of action-adventure games and a must-have for Switch players!

    Bunch of fun! Has a few patchy parts, but they'll fix them. Plays almost like a metroidvania God of War. Delivery was smooth on Best Buy's part as well!

    Great "Metroidvania" game with a good challenge. Fans of the Ori series should appreciate this as well. Good story weaved throughout and tons of secrets to find.

    Great game, price is really good for what this is, and it's perfect game for the switch. The combat is really fun. You can parry, dodge, and do some neat combos. 10/10 I would recommend this game even at full price.

    Played the game for about 15-20 hours—time well spent. Would highly recommend. Some bugs, but hopefully they’ll be patched soon enough.

    I’m not a big Nintendo person anymore but I used to be when I was younger and recently we bought a Nintendo switch and bought a couple games with it and it was a total nostalgia.

    This is a fun game with adjustable difficulty to allow for all levels of play. Glad I picked it up. With new games $70+ it a steal and great find at a very reasonable price.
