Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown launches on all platforms on January 18, including PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox and PlayStation consoles. One of its big selling points is that it's a great game, according to Polygon's Maddy Myers' impressions post linked above. You can see for yourself if you want to play the game by downloading a free demo on your platform.
While Prince of Persia's pivot to 3D in The Sands of Time is beloved by many, it's possible that Ubisoft's pivot back to 2D for The Lost Crown could be just what the series needed to hit stride for this generation of consoles and gamers. Not to mention, it runs at 60 frames per second on each console.
