There was also a little too much game. Instead of putting in every platforming challenge that they could think of for a given set of mechanics, it would have been paced much better if they just picked their two or three best. I’ll bet it doesn’t help that it requires the Ubisoft launcher on Steam either.
Could have said that of Ori and Hollow Knight and people seem to have showed up for those. I don’t think this is any worse than they are, FWIW. In any case to even notice that kind of nuance you have to play it. If that was the conversation we’re having they’d be making a sequel.
The fact that it initially launched on Epic certainly didn’t help its Steam numbers, but it also did much worse than Outlaws and other Ubisoft exclusives there, so the “it’s the MTX/GaaS” argument doesn’t hold.
Hah. Did you hear about Concord before or after it left a crater visible from space?
In any case, there are two of them, in fact, and they’re both good. You may be in time to help save The Rogue Prince of Persia, which is doing even worse, but if you don’t mess with Early Access, Lost Crown is still up for sale and it’s pretty great.

Casual gamer here. I’d heard of Concord. Never knew another Prince of Persia game even existed.

I saw a trailer before it came out, but it may have been in the context of how much of a guardians knockoff it was.
I’ll go watch some Prince of Persia gameplay this morning!
