This is extremely sad for the gaming community. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is an extremely good game, a TOP Metroidvania, one of the best games of 2024 and my personal favorite of what I've played this year. I hope the game has legs and eventually success so we can get more projects like this one from Ubi.

Dont get me wrong, i like the game too. but for me it wasn't that much good. it wasn't that much deep and little bit repititive. it was 8/10 for me. can't compare this game with polished title like Tears of Kingdom.

Obviusly yo can't compare a 2D Metroidvania to a 3D Open World game... -.-'

But, in it's own genre, The Lost Crown competes comfortably with kings like Metroid Dread or Hollow Knight (in fact, I think that it surpasses them in several aspects, such as the awesome and challenging plataforming sections of late game and on the mix of plataforming and puzzles).

It never got repetitive to me since you could find several things to do, several paces and several kinds of challenges every time, from just exploring to advancing the story to face the multiple combat, plataforming and puzzle challenges.

What's sad about it? The game is done. The people that made it move on to other things. That's totally normal.

In most cases you would hope that the developers working on it are on to a sequel or another like it, not disbanded and spread across the company to work on other things.

It's sad that we might not get similar games in the future, in case this closure comes from the perceived commercial failure of TLC. Also, it's always sad to have a talented team closed.
