WTMG's Leo Faria: "Even if its emphasis on a boring story didn’t catch my attention, it’s hard not to fall for everything else The Rogue Prince of Persia had to offer. It’s a well-polished roguelike, developed by some of the most talented developers in the genre, featuring impeccable mobility, decent combat, and a pretty cool gameplay loop. Its level design and branching paths were its main highlights. Whether you decide to play it on is up to you, but this game just felt right at home on a system like the ROG Ally, and I bet it’ll also be a fantastic fit for the Switch and Switch 2. Being the second Prince of Persia hit in a row, I’m glad to see The Lost Crown wasn’t just a one-and-done fluke. Keep delivering on this classic franchise, Ubisoft. This is so much better than wasting time on whatever “AAAA” is supposed to be."
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "2025 was a banner year for platformers, particularly action-platformers. Donkey Kong Bananza thrilled fans with its clever traversal and deforming mechanics; Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound elevated nostalgic NES ideas with modern designs and controls; The Rogue Prince of Persia blended 2D parkour with story-driven progression; and Shinobi: Art of Vengeance made a splash thanks to its deep combat framework and fluid movement."
