The Rogue Prince of Persia puts an acrobatic spin on the Dead Cells formula, but never quite reaches the same highs.

(Okay, but seriously: I know most modern game genre names are kind of dumb—looking at you, Metroidvania—but no game has ever felt further from the slow, brutal, 45-year-old ASCII art dungeon crawl of the original Rogue than this slick little package. But I digress .)

The Rogue Prince of Persia is a platforming masterclass, and it’s a must play for fans of 2D action titles, Dead Cells, and pretty much everyone else.
