”Most think time is a river; when it is more of an ocean in a storm.”'

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is a classic. Not as much as its original counterpart for MS-DOS from 1989. But, in its own right.

Remember when games were linear? :O
In a world where just about every other game is open world, and generally filled with innocuous time filler content, going back to play these older games is like a breath of fresh air. If not a relatively strident breath of air.

I played this game way back when on PS2, apparently that's a retro console now. :( And this port definitely shows its age. Despite what the store page says, while there is no innate gamepad support, you can easily connect a gamepad and configure it right in the options. You'll still need to make use of the mouse to navigate the menus, though. Should that be your desire.

Technical issues
This is an old game, and it's a port. While it is annoying that you have to use third party software to get into widescreen/1080p resolution in order to get the game to run properly on modern systems, with a little know-how and your best friend Google, it is relatively simple process. If you've ever altered an .ini file, you're all set. Additionally, it runs just fine without doing any of that. Just a bit of modern convenience.

The Prince of Persia game series' best feature and selling point are the puzzles, the acrobatic environmental puzzles. The combat can be rather tedious and generally revolves around jumping over people/monsters and poking them in the head with a sharp stick. Then sucking them up into your dagger. You know, sand monsters of time and so on. All in a day's work. There is also the component of protecting Farah, who, while certainly able to hold her own at range, there is one specific sequence that gets really out of hand with the less than intelligent AI swarming her making the fight needlessly difficult.

The camera can be a dastardly companion. Often, the camera will become a more insidious enemy than the actual monsters. There is however a toggle for an environmental camera that comes in extremely handy.

THE GIST
A classic in its own right. Though, a slightly borked port.
