Great game with gameplay that still holds up today.

But also ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awful camera control.

To be honest, this is a game that is all about the story build up and a bit of challenge that lets up to swing into the story again.

To be honest, the games industry learned alot from show, don't tell as a concept from PoP, and its sequels. I personally really just love the fun, boyhood charm this game has.

Camera is bloody awful alongside the combat. The Sultan fight had me fuming cuz the blue dudes effectively stunlocked me onto the ground.

It's a shame they removed the PS2 secret from the PC port where you could play the first PoP game.

Come to think of it only the platforming is still great fun, since the two sequels mildly improved the camera and vastly improved the combat.

I watched the PoP movie last week so I was back in nostalgia land, then I saw they were on steam so I didn't need to dust up the cd's and with the steam sale made it even easier.

It's not that bad tbh, most games nowadays with platforming and such either take a long time to load or require very lenghty sessions. Sands of Time loads very quickly + due to the short sections you can simply play half an hour and then do something else.

I basically don’t play platformers besides parkour games with considerable amount of violence, ala PoP, Assassin’s Creed, Dying Light. But yeah, nothing quite like the PoP trilogy.
