The Forgotten Sands is generally a solid game on any home console, even if it never quite manages to be anything more. After Prince of Persia's attempt at a reboot did not quite land, Ubisoft tried to steady the ship by bringing back The Sands of Time's protagonist and aesthetic. The Forgotten Sands is a mechanically sound game that delivers an archetypal modern Prince of Persia experience, albeit one with a bit too much combat for its own good.
It also feels like a reactionary title rather than an organic progression for the franchise. The Sands of Time trilogy originally came to a close with its safest entry. While Warrior Within's aggressive tone, bloody combat, and anachronistic music demanded attention, The Two Thrones opted to just deliver a breezy adventure filled with solid platforming and beautiful environments.
The Two Thrones is the most refined entry in the Prince's trilogy and does almost nothing wrong. However, it lacks a bit of personality compared to both of its predecessors and successor.
After a string of mostly successful entries, Prince of Persia hit the reset button with a game that was well-received by critics but divided fans. Prince of Persia's art style is vibrant and timeless; visually, this entry has aged better than any other.
Things get a little dicier when it comes to the gameplay, as Prince of Persia is unwilling to offer up anything resembling a challenge. Despite functioning well, the platforming and combat sections lack much in the way of tension or excitement.
When it comes to the most influential platformers ever, the original Prince of Persia is almost up there with Nintendo's top-tier titles and Sonic the Hedgehog.
Created by Jordan Mechner, Prince of Persia's realistic for the time visuals and smooth animations instantly set it aside from the likes of Super Mario. A difficult game that rarely feels unfair, Prince of Persia has aged better than most of its contemporaries. As newcomers might be put off from trying this masterpiece due to its age, 's Prince of Persia Classic does a respectable job of modernizing the title.
Somewhat aping the trajectory of the original 2D games, Warrior Within ramps up the combat while still retaining the creative platforming sections that define the franchise. The Prince's movement has seldom felt more responsive than it does in Warrior Within; furthermore, the sequel's combat system is the most complex and satisfying in the series. As the Prince can now pick up a second weapon from enemies, battles are a constantly evolving dance and match the free-flowing nature of the platforming.
Warrior Within is let down by its disappointing story, unlikeable characters, and faux adult tone. Votes: 1, Action, Adventure, Fantasy.

At any rate, once this first trilogy wrapped up, Ubisoft took the reins, and a new era of Prince of Persia began.
Updated On January 2, by William Quick: With a remake of Sands of Time on the way, this is a good opportunity to reflect on the series as a whole and organize everything on the Persia timeline. While releasing after the Sands of Time trilogy, the soft reboot is the first chronological game in Ubisoft's catalog.
You play as a nameless adventurer who is, in actuality, nicknamed Prince. Whether he is one or not isn't clear. He meets a Princess when searching for his donkey but her father confronts them at the Tree of Life where, after the fight, he cuts the bark to release Ahriman, the god of darkness. This corrupts the entire world and leads to the princess and Prince's journey to undo this mess. The epilogue for Prince of Persia in reveals that Prince and Elika - the Princess - survived the events of the game.
Well, Prince resurrects her. She isn't too happy about it, so after they beat her father, they separate. This is where The Fallen King picks up. Elika is with the Ahura, leading a band of resistance fighters against Ahriman, while the Prince searches for the king of The City of New Dawn.
He meets somebody called Zal, and their journey is one to defeat a king whose corruption has resulted in him being split into two — the human and the monster. It kicks off a series of events stemming from selfish greed — a desire to bend time simply to extend one's own life. The Sands of Time , held in an hourglass, are the means to do it. Caught up in the fallout, the Prince takes the Dagger of Time and embarks on a journey to remedy this chaos. You can play the launch on Steam or PlayStation 2, but you could always play the remake set for More sand, more shenanigans, more war, and more messes for the Prince to clean up.
In the title, he travels to his brother Malik's kingdom to find him losing an unwinnable war. So, naturally, his brother ventures to the treasure vault to unleash Solomon's Army - an army of creatures made of sand. The Prince now embarks on a new mission to re-imprison Solomon's Army by bringing together two halves of the seal. At least he isn't messing with the fabric of time in this one.
