Figuring out if 'Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown - Standard Edition' for PlayStation 5 is worth your money really depends on what you like in a game.

This isn't one of those open-world RPGs. Instead, it’s got that 2.5D Metroidvania vibe, with interconnected areas packed with combat, platforming, and puzzles to solve. Each biome you go through feels unique and has its own challenges and secrets. Plus, you'll often have to revisit places after you get new abilities, which keeps things interesting and adds some replayability.

From what we've found, many players love the well-designed levels that offer a mix of different challenges. The game does give you some choices about which path to take and in what order, but it's still more linear—think old-school platformers rather than massive open worlds.

So, if you’re into the Metroidvania-style games, you'll probably enjoy this one. But if you're more into open-world adventures, this might not be what you're looking for.
