One of the surprise hits to arrive early this year is from Assassin’s Creed publisher Ubisoft with the delightful Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.
Unlike the troubled Sands of Time remake, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a Metroidvania that not only have fans of Metroid and Castlevania been enjoying, but it’s also welcomed a new legion of fans to the genre. On the aggregate website Metacritic, it has garnered scores in the high 80s cementing its place as one of 2024’s best video games already.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is, by turns, thrilling, bombastic, and extravagant. A welcome entry into the genre, a welcome return of a legend and a brilliant good time.”
