Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is out in Early Access right now, though if you rather wait it’ll be out on 18th January. It’s worth it if you love all things Metroidvania: the controls are spot-on, the main character Sargon is nimble and fights just like a 2D Capcom character action star, the levels are well-made and designed, and the boss fights are epic.
