So I finally got down to playing the Epilogue I bought on release day, ages ago.First things first; I liked Prince of Persia - a lot.
Even though the prince himself got a little tiresome at points, the game was mostly light, fun exploration with a few easy to hard-ish fights dropped here and there.
When I bought the epilogue I thought "if it's more of the same, why not".
Boy, was I wrong...
What they actually did, was to take all the UN-fun parts from the original game and put them into two-three hours of painful experience that threatens to ruin my memory of the fun original game.
Instead of fun jumping and wall climbing, you're left with runs that...
Have too long between checkpoints- Are 99% of the time timed because of the wall-clinging black ooze or general all around coffuption
- Can't sometimes be solved before dropping to your death and trying again, because there are either blind spots or "surprise" move like Elika dropping you in mid-flight without any warning
- You'll have to fight long, BORING, IDENTICAL fights against the warrior/hunter no less than three times!
So lets add up what we got: a DLC that ruins your memory of the original game and that you'd rather have a root canal than play.Score: 4/10.
