One thing that stood out to us about Prince of Persia though, aside from the fantastic level design which showcases the sheer fantasy of the Prince’s world and how it intersects with the natural beauty around all of us, was the way that all these elements work together. It’s seamless and the combined result of this carefully measured dialogue, drama, beauty and action is both utterly shocking and totally harmonious.

At its most obvious, this harmony shows itself on the micro level. We can look at the Prince and just see how this character – this man – will behave. Straight away we can recognise how he’s simultaneously both noble and selfish, naïve and cautious. We see how he’s a force for good and a force for nothing; the type of man who’d go bar-brawling for fun but would also fiercely defend those who need it.
