After changing history, the Prince is pursued by Dahaka, an immortal guardian of time. He travels to a cursed island, where he must confront the consequences of his actions and try to escape his fate.
Explore the island’s ruins and stronghold through wall runs, leaps, swings, and trap-filled platforming routes. Fight enemies with chained attacks, environmental moves, and weapons taken from foes.
Travel between the island’s past and present to open routes and solve puzzles. Time powers let the Prince rewind events or slow time, while exploration reveals upgrades, secrets, and multiple possible endings.
Players often praise the game’s dark island atmosphere, forceful combat, and heavy rock soundtrack, with the Dahaka chase sequences and time-shifting exploration also standing out. Some appreciate the challenging action and memorable story, while others find the camera, navigation, and repeated routes frustrating. Many reviews also report that the PC version can require fixes or troubleshooting to run reliably.
