Presented in the “Metroid-Vania” style, you’ll run and jump back and forth through environments like a market completely devoid of merchants or shoppers, a visually bland system of caves, and more. “We have to stop that same evil vizier dude from last time from, ummm, pretty much doing the exact same thing he was trying to do before!” But even this lazy storytelling would be totally excusable were it not for the absolute tedium found in every single mechanic throughout this train-wreck of a title.

Easy-to-make Aladdin jokes aside, it’s rather a cop-out of a story. A remake of the 1993 sequel to the original Prince of Persia, Shadow and the Flame finds the prince on a quest to once again thwart the evil Jafar, the baddie from the first game. Prince of Persia: The Shadow and the Flame backflipped its way onto an iOS device near you recently, and is practically a course on how not to make a game. Between the stunning visuals of the newer iterations, some of the coolest puzzles found in video games, and an all-around satisfying combat system (did y’all play that cel-shaded version from a few years back? It was brilliant!), the long-running tale of the prince and those crazy undead sand-monsters hell-bent on killing him has been a pleasure to play for generations of gamers – until now.
