OpenCritic - 95
Metacritic - 93

• GameSpot - 9/10 - Blue Prince is a masterfully intricate roguelike puzzle game that reveals increasingly elaborate details and interlocking systems as you peel back its layers
• DigitalSpy - 5/5 - Blue Prince is a special game full of mysteries, secrets and mind-blowing moments with an addictive gameplay loop. It's so good that labelling this as one of the best puzzle games of all time feels like a disservice
• TheSixthAxis - 9/10 - Blue Prince is an excellent, intricate, and intriguing puzzle game that will have you thinking about solutions even when not playing it

 

[touchfuzzy]

Wow, I thought this looked kind of cool from the trailers but this level of critical acclaim pulling my attention right away. Gonna check it out for sure!

 

[Dynasty8]

Very excited for this one. Anyone into puzzle games should definitely check it out. And it's on GanePass too.

 

[RedC]

This game appears to be well-suited for VR.

 

[Arsic]

When I finished animal well and went to see what else I might enjoy like it I was recommended this when it comes out several times.

I'm interested for sure!

 

[Grizzled Ghost]

Ooooh, like blueprints...

Seems cool.

 

[analog_future]

Ooooh, like blueprints...

Seems cool.

 

[Punished Miku]

I was interested in this from the first trailer, but didn't expect scores like that. Hyped. It looks very original.

 

[tTHANOSs]

Also PS plus extra game

 

[pachura]

Oh noooo it's not on Switchhhhh

 

[balls of snow]

The Balatro of the year.
This time, Im actually gonna play it.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Going to try it on GamePass and buy if I like it.

 

[Thief1987]

It's never good idea to put score in the title, especially when only a dozen of reviews available. It will settle around 90 most likely.

 

[Blank Space Invader]

"Blue Prince is a masterfully intricate roguelike puzzle game..."

 

[Magic Carpet]

Nice to see a puzzle game with some care and attention. I like how everything is tinted blue, easy on the eyes.

 

[Lee49]

I've seen that quite a few of these reviewers have been playing it and discussing clues in discord, which has got me worried that this has puzzles where you need to rely on the community to solve them like some of the latter ones in Animal Well. Would rather figure it all out naturally.

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

Nice, looks good... I'm in

 

[LordCBH]

Not my kinda fame but I'm happy for y'all who dig it. It does looks pretty sick!

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

Interesting premise. Can't wait to see some feedback from people outside of the industry. I do love myself some headscratching puzzles.

"Blue Prince is a masterfully intricate roguelike puzzle game..."

Lost me at "roguelike"

 

[Ribi]

there we go, our first GOTY contender from the indies at the VGAs

 

[Magic Carpet]

Lost me at "roguelike"

Except its for puzzles which is kind of new. I'm interested to see what it's all about.

Same, but combing roguelites with puzzles seems counterintuitive. Really curious to see who they pulled it off.

 

[DenchDeckard]

is this out now?

 

[DragoonKain]

April 10th

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Not on PSVR2?? Are they adding a VR mode later?

 

[Thief1987]

XboxEra - 11/10

Poor lads most likely didn't get a memo that it's also on PS Plus, unlike their friends from trueachievments

 

[XERXES_89]

Oh my god, a pretentious procedural walking sim roguelike.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Ooo where did that come from? I wasn't even aware of it. But DAMN!

 

[gunslikewhoa]

I thought this might be something special based on the demo.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Personal opinions and all.

Am sure if everyone at gaf gave it a shot, over half of them will not enjoy it like the scores.

 

[Grizzled Ghost]

Oh my god, a pretentious procedural walking sim roguelike.

The "Atmospheric Trailer" is one of the most pretentious pieces of media I've ever seen

The dude talks about the game with the kind of gravitas that should be reserved for announcing an imminent asteroid impact. All while dressed as gay Captain Ahab.





Still looking forward to it though.

 

[Arachnid]

This came out of NOWHERE. Legit never even see this. Critical acclaim, roguelike, and it's coming to gamepass?

Day 1.

 

[SweetTooth]

Sure will check it out.

 

[Arsic]

Also PS plus extra game

Oh really? It's on gamepass too.

They hit everything all at once for this one.

Exited to dive in this week. If I like it then I'll buy a copy to support the devs.

 

[Evil Calvin]

Still ay 92% on Metacritic. If this is $40 or less I'm getting this. Heard a lot of great things. Deeper than first appears it seems.

Day 1.

It was announced at the recent Xbox indie showcase in March.

 

[Hyet]

Small unkown game suddently popping out of nowhere and getting outlandish reviews from north american media.

Does this game has "opinions"? You know what I mean.

[damidu]

i'd love me some great puzzle game, but wth with the rogue-like shit? instant turnoff

 

[engstra]

As someone in the building design sector this looks right up my alley. And it's included on PS+ so will for sure check out

It was originally called Black Queen, but they fired SBI and changed it last minute. You should probably still boycott.

I won't boycott because SBI, if anything I will do it because I'm too dumb for dense puzzle games.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Looks interesting. Going to check it out.

 

[coachmcguirk91]

Excited to give this a go. It will be a nice change of pace for me. Been playing Khazan for past 2 weeks

 

[Ogbert]

Hipster game in absurd overrating shocker.

 

[Sooner]

Hipster game in absurd overrating shocker.

What are you basing that around?

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

This sounds like a cool game if you have all the free time in the world….otherwise..I dunno
