Reviewers say:
- Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is an absolute triumph, charting the future for this fallen franchise. Here’s hoping it finds its audience because it would be a tragedy to have something this good lost to time once again.
- Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is one of the best metroidvania we have played and a splendid return that we did not imagine even in our wildest dreams.
- The Lost Crown makes it hard to put the controller down, constantly urging players to follow its paths just a little further. Following its persistent pull to explore more of Mount Qaf is easy, though, thanks to how good it feels to do so.
