Prince of Persia: Warrior Within™

The game doesn't support modern controllers out of the box; you have to configure them manually, and even when you go to the trouble of doing so, the tutorials display generic controller text not even icons. You are forced to use the mouse for the menus no matter what. It is unacceptable for a company the size of Ubisoft to leave the game in this state. I’ve refunded it; I’d rather play the GameCube version.

Nah, it's just nostalgia. You can skip most fights and it all boils down to Parkour which tbf is good. The distance of the wall run is long, you are pretty fast on ladders and finding the right timings to jump off feels mostly good. Story is being carried by the fact that time travel can have interesting complexity. Character dialogues are in between bad and okay. The environments feel repetitive. The puzzles are easy. Combat has some variety especially if you incorporate the environment, but it's clunky. You can also use different weapons and combos, but depending on enemies, this doesn't even give you an advantage. There is a many enemies where it's better to use environment (throwing, wall running air attack), grab and slice them, or just spam jumping over them and hitting. There is also sand abilities which you can use more and more later in the game that makes you op, but you still have to mash attack buttons like you are braindead. All in all, pretty amazing at the time it was created, but meh for today's standards.

A gaming classic that's aged rather well. If you like a challenge, - especially to a heavy metal soundtrack - this game is an ABSOLUTE MUST-PLAY.

Pure Nostalgia

MY CHILDHOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!

long story with 2 Choices but also good.
