I tried the demo and didn't like the combat at all, I spent most of the time running away from enemies.

Also the demo requires an Ubisoft account to be played lol. I just put my console in offline mode and played it. Why should I create an account to play a singleplayer game?
skill issue or what was unengaing about the combat?

I'm sold now that I've learned this is a metroidvania from the rayman team

Some enemies take too much hits to be killed, but maybe because it's early game and the character is underleveled.

In early January, Ubisoft released one of its highest-rated Metacritic games in the past decade, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. The game hit a height of 88 (Nintendo Switch) with its critic score and a 9.1 user score, leading many to believe that the game could already be in the running for several Game of the Year awards. Despite the impressive scores though, the game has around 300,000 players at the time of writing (estimated $15m in revenue).

It launched at the wrong price point. This was a major unforced error. Ubi thought they were Nintendo and could pull another Metroid Dread out of thin air.
Wrong price point, pretty much a dead IP, 'new' genre for the IP*, poor timing, no Steam release and a terrible first impression from the trailers. Plus, of course, a negro protagonist.

Yeah, a real slamdunk. What a shame! :smug:

Does someone pay/threaten game developers now to use the tranny purple? There's no way they are all doing that out of choice.

Incline.

Too bad the remake isn't until 2026, being optimistic.
