Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown Estimated To Be A "25 Hour" Game

I never got my Rayman Legends 2. I really hope this is good.

This is one of my most anticipated games of the year. I love the artstyle and animations. Reminds me of modern 2D Metroid.

This looks amazing. Though, I still would love some SoT and 2008 PoP love on the Switch.

25 hours is what I am looking for in most videos games I play these days. Long enough to get your enjoyment out of it, but not too long for the gameplay to become stale.

Into 2D side scrolling games even though I believe this is 2.5D. Worth checking the demo and seeing how it plays.

For a Metroidvania game, 25 hours is just way too long, even Metroid Dread ain't that long. Metroid Dread was only around 15 hours, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night with both its regular and upside down castle is only 12 hours, Muramasa: The Demon Blade is around 12 hours and that includes both chapters of the guy and girl, the PS Vita version is only 15 hours. Ori and the Blind Forest is only 10 hours, Shadow Complex is only 8 hours, and Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night which I believe at first to be too long is only around 15 hours. Hopefully the game kept the story interesting if it plans to be that long. Slain and Blasphemous despite their harder difficulty spike is only around 10-15 hours.

Quite long for this genre. Here's hoping it's worth every second and there isn't much filler.

@Serpenterror I played Hollow Knight for over 100 hours...

I might check out the demo. Game looks great. 25 hours is the sweet spot for an indie RPG, but it seems a little long for a Metroidvania. Unfortunately, there are so many games hitting in February that I don't think I can afford a curio in January.

25 hrs is and always will be the sweet spot for this kinda games, so excited!!

Seems to be getting a fair bit of press on here, lol. Yeah looks the part.

Looking forward to the demo for sure.

Devs said it will focus on story as well, so, add in quite a few hours of cutscenes/dialogue

I was looking forward to a demo for this game, but I've already pre-ordered it and I don't think I'll have the time to try it out.
Regarding the lenght, I wouldn't imagine that there are so many cutscenes or so much story that it makes the game much longer, just hope it' the exploration and combat that makes it challenging/longer. But we'll see that very soon. Good to have an indication in any ways.

Very good length for metroidvania game. Not too short, not too long. I can't wait !

@Zaruboggan what games are hitting in February? Seems like a pretty dry period to me

Wow, quite long. Longer than most metroidvanias, like Metroid Dread, the Oris, the Blasphemous or Monster Boy.
Unless they mean hours to 100% it, this seems to be another Hollow Knight regarding quantity. I hope they manage to keep the game just as fresh, otherwise the gameplay will become stale!

Always loved the Prince games, 2D and 3D. So excited!

A lot of these comments feel like bots cant lie. like the look of gameplay not too keen on design choice but hey when has pop ever been consistent in anything. hoping with this and the remake they might do a gow style reimagining but actually do a decent job at it this time. Sands of time influence can still be seen in a lot of modern games

@Ultimapunch To be fair to the Rayman team, you did get your Rayman Origins 2. I despair for the future of Rayman with Ancel gone.

@Serpenterror Estimated time spent for completion is absolute ***** if the game is good enough. The estimated time spent for Metroid Dread is 10 hours. I've put in 55 hours since getting it late December and I still haven't had enough - I'll be playing it today as well, to the dismay of several other games in my backlog that were purchased in December.

I'm already sold on this game and I'm soooo looking forward to trying out the demo. I think this game should at least be a 9/10 in my personal ratings. Really excited for it!!

@OutcastMonkey "A lot of these comments feel like bots cant lie"
Why? Because they are interested in the game and you aren't?

@Zeroo Now that I'm looking at them, none are for Switch, but: Persona 3 Reload, Granblue Fantasy Relink, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth all come out in February. And all with very similar subtitles.

I'd rather play a good 2-hour game than a mediocre 80-hour game.

Regardless of campaign length I'm looking forward to Lost Crown.

The play time seems about right. I’m happy to play a 40 hour RPG, but a metroidvania shouldn’t be longer than 25 hours in my opinion. I’m rather excited for this. I enjoyed the sands of time.

God, the writing seems absolutely goofy bet sweetbabies inc. had a hand in this.

@Serpenterror I wouldn't be too worried. No matter how hard they try, these estimates are almost always wildly inflated.

I will try the demo to see if this will be a for sure buy or not.

I wish they would remake Sands of Time already. I don't care for this style of POP, hopefully they remake the older games.

The gameplay footage I watched earlier today looks fantastic so I will definitely grab the demo. Never really played the earlier games in the franchise, but it looks great visually, so hopefully the gameplay matches up.
