It's been 14 years since the last Prince of Persia and a lot can change in a decade and a half...

Today we're going to be exploring the latest addition to this historic franchise and discovering just what has happened since we last saw our mythological hero.

Has the long wait made the heart grow fonder or have times simply moved on? How can the Prince compete in a world where Fortnite, Minecraft, Elden Ring and God of War reign supreme?

It's part critique, part retrospective, part review and part history lesson - obviously full of spoilers and obviously full of my opinions.
