Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a solid metroidvania and easily one of the best I have played in years, with fun combat, rewarding exploration, and some excellent level design to match.

Limited playerbase, shallow heists, the release of paid DLC despite the lack of base game content, the complete lack of a proper singleplayer element, the always online requirement - it's not great.

One of the most unique puzzle games I have ever played. Complex, but not unfairly so, and introducing new mechanics at a relatively steady pace to keep the experience exciting.

A fairly ambitious take on the genre, with a full-fledged story and world to explore. The puzzles are fine too, but could use some more variety and the exploration can be a bit dull at times.

The world design was cool, the Souls aesthetic was there, but the gameplay is far too grindy and the enemies and bosses feel monotonous and boring to fight.

The aesthetic is cool, the voice acting is cool, but the story is not really that interesting and the gameplay is straight tedium – killing the same handful of enemies over and over.

I kinda liked this blend of 4X strategy with RPG and character customization and tactical battles. Even if it still suffers in the balancing and AI departments.

A full-fledged JRPG complete with great visuals, music, a large world to explore, and some genuinely fun combat that takes a more action-oriented approach than what is the norm.

Perhaps the worst story in the series yet, Disgaea 7 is actually fine on the gameplay front, but does suffer from its continuing overcomplication compared to prior titles, making it feel bloated.

Fun and in-depth combat, great music and visuals, and a story that is definitely a step above the last game. Just an all-around good dungeon crawler that is only brought down by how grindy it can be.
