I am a game connoisseur, not a pro. That is to say and am very well informed and seek out specific experiences. I love platforming, especially the modern incarnation of scaling tall structures with breath-taking vistas.

This game has lovely art, a whimsical but sufficient story, and very easy controls. Aided by the ever-present button prompts I was never at at a loss.

I hate being frustrated when playing. I loathe breaking a sweat. I want an interactive story or movie. Prince of Persia fits the bill and then some.

I would have liked a bit more variety in the combat, but that's a minor flaw.

I have kids to look after and a demanding job. For me, this game was perfect. Fun and beautiful and ultimately emotionally rewarding.
