  1. This game is amazing. After the intro moments and especially once you get into areas with denser, harder movement-gauntlets/trap-gauntlets, the Prince of Persia essence really does hit. Genuinely shocked they created such a sick Metroidvania and Prince of Persia game and simple but very kinesthetically pleasing combat system. Just. Man…

  2. Wait, so Vahram was Vergil, Orod was Kratos, and it's a pretty good guess that Radjen would've been Bayonetta if her fight wasn't cut.

    So who's Menolias? I don't think any of the big character action series star a bow user. Maybe he's Hanzo Overwatch, but that's a bit out of place next to the other three.

  3. I'm going to most definately get this game to support Ubisoft making more linear games but PoP Sands of Time is a game I replayed a couple years ago and I just didn't like as much as I used to. The enemies waves is something people bash the first Uncharted for but it's worse in SoT, in UC1 at least it was a cover based shooter and heashots are easy, in SoT, all the enemies are damage sponges and there is little means of dispatching the hordes so combat is just boring. And there is too much combat in a game that doesn't have a good combat system. I'd even say all of the Ubisoft made PoP games are better since they don't have this issue. PoP 2008 at the very least uses bad combat as a pseudo fail state for not being good at the platforming, the combat in SoT is just boring and it amazes how it gets away with that so much.

    This game does seem like it has the best combat in the series however.

  4. You're easily one of my favorite creators on the platform. Your writing and delivery is top-notch and you articulate your points so well. Thank you for continuing to produce such high-quality content!

  5. I am 44yr old and have been playing games since the 80's and I have to agree that this is a real return to form for ubisoft and I have a feeling that they are turning things around, while I'm sure they will still continue to make crap and rip off people who let themselves be ripped off I think that they are going to try and make some more quality games, its just a hunch and I could be wrong but I hope not.

  6. Oh wow, you're right that the dude is Vergil. Is that him stabbing and betraying his ally? Kind of like what Vergil does in DMC3? Is this DMC3 with a painted Prince of Persia coat over it?

  7. I also noticed two other direct homages/references -> The way King Darius lifts up his weapon in front of him during his intro cinematic is exactly how Morgott does it in Elden Ring. Also, after you defeat him, Menolias tells us that he's weak because he still needs a weapon, and a true warrior does not need a weapon. This is exactly what Thors says in Vinland Saga, and I believe it's an homage

  8. Hey Jay just a heads-up. I don't know if you're aware that The Hidden One plagiarised your "When did Assassin's Creed Get Bad" video 3 weeks ago with "The Downfall of Assassin's Creed".

    It's very apparent at minute 7:00 where they use the same sentence structure.

    It's your most popular and one of your best videos. And they already took +100k views from you.
