Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown captures not only what made games such as The Sands of Time so good, but it irons out a lot of the little issues that plagued the 3D games in this series by opting for a 2.5D perspective – and owning it. 8/10, great.
Quick reminder: we stand on the precipice of one of the biggest PC releases of the year, God of War Ragnarok. When it released on PS5 in ’22, we 10’d this GOTY sequel, calling it “an enthralling spectacle to behold and an even more exciting one to take the reins of.” My expectations for an even more breathtaking PC version are high; the best price I’ve found for it is low.
In retro news, I’ve staked 21 novelty lightsaber candles into a cake for Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy—a mouthful and also a masterclass on how to do saber combat. As a padawan who cut his teeth on Dark Forces: Jedi Knight II, I was all sorts of stoked with more Expanded Universe adventures that cameoed a non-bitter Luke Skywalker mentoring more Force users (you know, like his character absolutely would have, no matter what). It was the 16-person MP, however, that made this arguably the most satisfying saber-centric action game until Respawn’s Jedi series.

I cannot wait to run this through my super ultra-wide screen on a 4090. Beyond the expected visual upgrade, this really was a brilliant follow up to one heck of a GOTY.
