the fact that you play as the guy from black panther (not actually, he just looks identical) is really weird and out of place, but it's a fine game. The story is total gibberish, no way could it be labeled woke because it makes no sense.

Persian people would have very dark skin, to be clear. They are not white.

My first game of this genre and absolutely loved it. I need similar now

Metroidvanias? There are a bunch of good ones but I really liked Steamworld Dig 2. You can get it pretty cheap too.

you should take a look at some people from Iran.

edit: and it's not the skin color, it's the hair, the outfit, it's the guy from black panther. just a weird choice.

Metroidvanias? There are literally thousands of them. It's like one of the most ubiquitous game genres nowadays.

Just bought it on Steam, for 3 bucks. Is it really good?

It's a great game. Not a typical metroidvania but more of its own thing.

Nice to hear.

Clearly not though, as this isn't even the first one where this was a thing. But you do you. Your inability to read posts properly is absolutely not my problem.

It IS though, which is the entire point...which is what you replied to, saying it wasn't and compared it to IP in which it is the opposite. You play as the Prince of Persia in every other game...including this one. That is not true of either Zelda nor Metroid.


Mental gymnastics on full display.

I played it on Switch last year and loved it, couldn't put it down. It's just charming, funny and the gameplay is really fun. It's also relatively short which is a big plus for me.

Here is Sargon with a different outfit and hair:

No one gave a damn in this one. You don't even learn his name, or his backstory, or his lineage. His nickname is The Prince, and he got lost searching for a donkey.

PoP 2008 is still the best in the series, imho. And one I hope they'll make a sequel for one day.

It's by far my favorite. It will never, ever get a sequel though. Seems like it basically killed the series.

Glad to see that PC is the ONLY play where there is zero exclusives...

Here is Sargon with a different outfit and hair:

i unlocked that outfit, but it's relatively late in the game. i think there is also the one from pop2008 hidden in there somewhere.

The Prince of Persia game where you don't play as the Prince of Persia.

Story spoilers, but you're wrong:

Spoiler

In-game text reveals that Sargon is in fact an illegitimate Prince that was born secretly, hence why he can wield the time powers of the Simurgh that only the royal bloodline can. The 'prince' you're trying to rescue is a false one, and the other true Prince in the game is actually the villain. So it's really the prince-iest PoP of them all, but good to know you didn't even play it.

Ubi Plus is like a tenner a month for day one access to ultimate editions of games so usually go that route then buy on steam as they usually launch at a big discount.
