I don’t think I’m going out on a limb by saying that Ubisoft’s best game of this year won’t be Star Wars Outlaws or the as-yet unreleased Assassin’s Creed Shadows, it’ll be Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown. The sidescrolling metroidvania is a rich, expansive, and surprisingly challenging take on a genre typically dominated by indies, and it’s precisely the kind of game I wish mega-publishers produced more.
It’s also now got a story expansion, Mask Of Darkness, which came out yesterday.
