John Carpenter Declares Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown a Must-Play
Somehow, October is right around the corner, which means 2024 is rapidly approaching its end. After the whirlwind of amazing releases in 2023, some thought this year would be relatively slow on the game front. Yet, game after good game keeps dropping. That's why it might come as a shock to you that Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, the incredible Metroidvania in Ubisoft's beloved franchise, came out this January. Don't worry, one person is here to remind you that The Lost Crown rocks: John Carpenter.
John Carpenter's Glowing Recommendation
Most people know Carpenter as the legendary filmmaker behind movies like Halloween, Escape From New York, and The Thing. But Carpenter is also a huge gamer. He has made his opinions on the medium known many times, including stating his love for Halo Infinite and dedicating his life to playing Destiny 2.
Recently, Carpenter took to social media to praise The Lost Crown. In a post from September 22, Carpenter wrote that the Ubisoft title is a great game. He went on to say that its old-school side-scrolling adventure renews the promise of the old franchise. Highly recommended!
Why The Lost Crown Stands Out
Carpenter is absolutely right. The Lost Crown remains one of this year's most impressive releases. It recaptures the wonder of the Prince of Persia franchise, which has largely been left to die for more than a decade. While Carpenter is right that The Lost Crown has an old-school feel to it, it also masterfully blends those vintage vibes with modern influences from more recent Metroidvanias.

Gameplay and Features
The Lost Crown gives you a chance to explore a fascinating map full of challenging platforming levels. You unlock these levels through the discovery of new skills over the course of your playthrough. That solid gameplay core, combined with quality-of-life improvements, makes this one of the most welcoming yet still challenging Metroidvanias around.
If it's good enough for John Carpenter, it's good enough for you.
