I had this on releas on my GameCube and really enjoyed it. Several years ago, I played through it again and it holds up really well. The combat gets a bit repetitive and the camera can sometimes get stuck in a strange position but apart from that, it was a lot of fun.

As someone who played the original Prince of Persia, Sands of Time still feels like “the new one”.

The game was ahead of it’s time in terms of combat. It felt janky at times but it plays like a souls-like with how slow and deliberate you need to be once enemies start having proper counters to what you do.

And the time dagger mechanic was always fantastic to me conceptually.

Here’s hoping Ubi doesn’t fuck it up beyond belief.

Remakes -_- I sleep
