March 2025

If i had to rank each PoP game- 1. Warrior Within 2. Forgotten Sands 3. Two Thrones 4. Sands of Time Gameplay and parkour wise, best out of all. My childhood game, i will always cherish it.

Feb. 2025

Nice game. The parcour is much smoother and satisfying than all the previous games. They also added some moves. The story is quite generic tbh. But the graphics and 'puzzles' and movement mecanics make it worth to play. I did encounter 2 crashes over 1 hour of gameplay though... Just Ubisoft things. ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☐ Beautiful ☑ Good ☐ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS ---{ Gameplay }--- ☑ Very good ☐ Good ☐ It's just gameplay ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't ---{ Audio }--- ☐ Eargasm ☐ Very good ☑ Good ☐ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf ---{ Audience }--- ☑ Kids ☑ Teens ☑ Adults ☐ Grandma ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☑ Check if you can run paint ☐ Potato ☐ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer ---{ Game Size }--- ☐ Floppy Disk ☑ Old Fashioned ☐ Workable ☐ Big ☐ Will eat 10% of your 1TB hard drive ☐ You will want an entire hard drive to hold it ☐ You will need to invest in a black hole to hold all the data ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☑ Easy ☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☐ Significant brain usage ☐ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls ---{ Grind }--- ☑ Nothing to grind ☐ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks ☐ Isn't necessary to progress ☐ Average grind level ☐ Too much grind ☐ You'll need a second life for grinding ---{ Story }--- ☐ No Story ☐ Some lore ☑ Average ☐ Good ☐ Lovely ☐ It'll replace your life ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☐ Short ☑ Average ☐ Long ☐ To infinity and beyond ---{ Price }--- ☐ It's free! ☑ Worth the price ☐ If it's on sale ☐ If u have some spare money left ☐ Not recommended ☐ You could also just burn your money ---{ Bugs }--- ☐ Never heard of ☐ Minor bugs ☑ Can get annoying ☐ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs ---{ ? / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☐ 7 ☑ 8 ☐ 9 ☐ 10

Dec. 2024

A prequel that isn't needed. The plot takes place between parts 1 and 2 and it didn’t turn out to be particularly interesting.

Sept. 2024

It's a good single player title with unique parkour mechanics that would please anyone, but the big problem is that the game becomes repetitive, especially the combat, and the story isn't that deep either. The graphics were good, with great lighting. In short, the game is forgettable. 6/10

May 2024

Good one. Parkour is harder than in the original trilogy, which makes it better. A plot is good although i find the ending is crumpled up. New skill system is kinda okay, though i didn't use all of the spells, but liked it in general. On the other hand, fighting system became boring. Only 1 sword, only 1 attack style mixed with spells. Incomparable with those jumping\spinning\throwing movements we had in WW or TT. Music is too "heroic" =) Most importantly, the camera doesn't want you to suffer anymore. It is still pretty much buggy, but doesn't cause many troubles. Prince doesn't jump wherever he wants. However, i did not understand how to stop a time reverse, don't know if it was a bug or not, but i had absolutely no clue wich moment i would have to replay. Also had dozens of times when prince got knocked off to the ground and continued to lay down until somebody or something hit him again. I was a huge fan of the original trilogy when i was a kid. Never heard about this part before and was kinda excited to taste it. Did not regret at all.
