Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown – PS5

Swordplay, Acrobatics, and Time Itself

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown reinvents the series as a 2.5D action-platformer, following the warrior Sargon as he chases a kidnapped prince into the cursed, ever-shifting Mount Qaf. Time-manipulation powers let Sargon rewind moments, freeze enemies mid-attack, and mark locations to teleport back to later.

Combat rewards precision, mixing sword combos with acrobatic traversal that has players wall-running, double-jumping, and dashing through tightly designed platforming gauntlets. A generous map and fast-travel system keep backtracking from feeling like a chore as new powers unlock previously inaccessible areas.

A Persian mythology-inspired world, memorable boss encounters, and an accessible difficulty curve make this one of the series' most approachable entries without sacrificing depth for genre veterans.

• Time-Manipulation Powers: Rewind, freeze, and mark locations to solve combat and platforming challenges.
• Fluid Acrobatic Combat: Wall-runs, dashes, and sword combos flow into one another.
• Metroidvania Structure: New powers continually unlock fresh paths through Mount Qaf.
• Mythological World: A richly designed world drawn from Persian legend.
