Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown – Review

Sparky0
I'm slightly late to the party as The Lost Crown was released eight weeks ago, but after a hefty 40% price drop, I couldn't put this off any longer. I've been a long-time fan - from the 2D original, my showpiece game on the Sam Coupé, through the 3D transition with the Sands of Time trilogy, plus the reboot and spin-off which failed to reignite the sales.

SENSEs: Midnight Review – a cyberpunk homage to Fatal Frame

Sparky0
SENSEs: Midnight wants to be an old-school, PS2-style survival horror game, and it achieves just that in many ways. However, its steadfast refusal to update tired and dated mechanics for modern audiences turns the game into what is ultimately an incredibly frustrating experience. You play as Uesugi Kaho, an adventurous college student and occult researcher, who on returning to Japan decides to investigate an infamous urban legend with her buddies.

It is a precision platformer that requires planning, fast fingers, and quick reflexes. You play as a little witch, trying to escape a dungeon that is full of traps and nasties that block your way. Presentation wise this looks pretty cute, with a retro pixel-art style and old-school
