The 2008 Prince of Persia.

What was expected to be a start of a series revival, flopped and ended up with a kinda messy PC port, platform exclusive DLC epilogue and eventually abandonment in favor of return to sands of time mythos.

Meanwhile it is my favorite entry in the series - with amazing art direction, and lovely character development and vocal performances by two main characters. The gameplay is a cross of guitar hero and parkour - it’s much more rhythm based and perhaps less expensive, but pulling off a perfect run feels soooo good.

I love the game so much that even though I’m not a YouTuber, I created a full playthrough and published it - just so I can stop wanting to play it again every few years.
