Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown takes the franchise back to its side-scrolling roots, but with a Metroidvania twist.

In typical Metroidvania fashion, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown features a large map for players to explore that is filled with secrets to find and optional areas. Players can choose to take their time exploring, hunting down all of Sargon's upgrades and tackling some of the game's tougher challenges. Alternatively, they can make a beeline straight to the main objectives, and potentially even utilize some of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown's helpful accessibility features to make things even easier.
