What happened here? This genuinely feels like someone got the cliff notes of Prince of Persia and said - "Yeah, I can do that". No, no you cannot. This is one of the worst games I have ever slogged through. It starts out interestingly enough. It picks up sort of right after the first. The prince gets chased out of town and has to restore his name, oh and Jaffar didn't die, now he's you. Cool idea, horrible execution. The combat in one wasn't good, but it sorta worked. They somehow managed to make it worse. They also added new enemies, that's cool...in theory. the enemies they added though are absolutely abysmal. There are snakes that kill you in 1-hit and you have to time the attacks on them since the prince can only hit them in certain instances. They also added these attacking heads and they also have questionable hit-boxes. Then they also added more human like enemies, but they come in multiples a lot. Combat is rough one-on-one, but being attacked by 3 enemies at once from multiple sides, this game was not designed for that. Hell some levels even have infinite enemies, the joy. This has some of the most convoluted and pointless level design. They do add some new obstacles and potions with different effects. There are a bunch of new locations, too. All cool in theory. The final level is a mind trip, and there are some crazy non-platforming puzzles you can solve too. This game is a damn hot mess. Oh but they added music in the levels now and guess what? It's also awful. Weirdly enough they didn't improve the non-responsive controls either. So many just not great choices. Just typing this up is making my blood pressure rise. I did not like this game. And if I wasn't streaming it I probably would have left the bag of turds burn on the porch. It's easily one of the worst games I have ever played. Enjoy my blind playthrough.
