Diving back into the world of Prince of Persia with The Lost Crown feels like a nostalgic treat modernized with a Metroidvania spin and time-bending puzzles. The mix of old-school charm and fresh mechanics may well breathe new life into the series, if it can smooth out those difficulty spikes before launch day.
