Get to Know About Prince Of Persia – the Forgotten Sands
You know that rush when you’re darting across crumbling palace walls and suddenly realize you’ve got just enough time to leap, grab a ledge, and reverse time before you splatter on the ground? That’s exactly the thrill the Forgotten Sands brings. It slots neatly between Sands of Time and Warrior Within, so it feels familiar if you’ve played the classics, yet it spices things up with four elemental powers—sand, water, wind, fire—that you unlock as you push deeper into your brother’s besieged kingdom.
Speaking of the story, you’re the Prince visiting your brother Malik’s realm, only to discover it’s under attack by an army that’s magically draining the land. Malik, driven by desperation, taps into these elemental wells to protect his people, inadvertently unleashing monsters and environmental chaos. Your job is to stop the invaders, keep your brother grounded, and restore balance—all while keeping your trademark wit intact. There’s a nice thread of humor and sibling rivalry that keeps the stakes from feeling too heavy.
On the gameplay front, you’ll spend your time wall-running, swinging from hooks, and solving environmental puzzles that cleverly mix platforming with your elemental toolbox. Need to freeze a column of water to create a bridge? Done. Burn through a barricade of wooden spikes with a jet of flame? You got it. And when combat kicks in, you’ll chain acrobatic combos and slow down time to dodge or rip through enemies in a satisfying rhythm.
Overall, Forgotten Sands hits that sweet spot between nostalgia and fresh ideas. The parkour feels slick, the powers add cool variety, and the world—though not massive—is richly detailed. It isn’t perfect; a few platforming sections can feel a bit finicky, and the boss fights occasionally drag. But for fans of the series or anyone craving a dose of agile action with a sprinkle of magic, it’s a solid, fun ride.
