Blue Prince
A delicious puzzle-roguelike charms, but suffers from lack of save options.
Blue Prince blends puzzles and roguelike exploration into something refreshingly original, clever, calm, and unlike anything else you’ve played.
Blue Prince is a game that you can easily get yourself engrossed with. What appeared to be a simple game turned out to be one full of surprises around the corner, making it a must-play game for puzzle and roguelike fans alike.

Perfectly crafted game. The feeling of solving a puzzle you've encountered many times and didn't have a clue of what to do is like beating Malenia in Elden Ring. Don't look on the internet. Just try and try again. I can safely say it is one of the best games I've ever played and I'm very curious to see the next project of this studio!

Its so easy to start and get on a roll but the endgame is too much work for me. I don't play games to work, I play to escape work.

Can be frustrating and a long grind. I don't really like rouge-likes unless they are super engaging. Blue prince has a lot of neat puzzles and mysteries to discover but it can just take too long, Having to re-do your days over and over. Sometimes you get unlucky or make a mistake and it feels like you wasted time without accomplishing anything. There are permanent upgrades to help you along eventually, but getting them is a slow process. Not a bad game at all but it's just not engaging enough to feel worth the time sink. Can be fun in some moments and I'm still going to grind it out but it borders on the edge of being worth my time. I'm new to the genre so maybe it's just me. But the game doesn't exactly grip me in a way where I feel excited to play.

There’s a lot of bottled magic in Blue Prince, and it reminds me of the best reasons why fantasy still captures hearts today.

The greatest puzzle game of all time. Blue Prince may not be for everyone, but for the exceedingly curious and persistent, this choose-your-own-adventure-meets-board-game with roguelike elements is a joyous ode to the genre. Prepare to be enraptured by the mysteries and motives that shroud the halls of Mt. Holly's beautiful estate...

Blue Prince takes the roguelike formula, throws in DIY architecture, and manages to combine them to form a pretty impressive tale of intrigue and a very fun puzzler. The simple mechanics make a complex whole with great puzzles and reason to play run after run!

The most intricate, most frustrating, most satisfying, and most mysterious puzzle game I've played recently.

Blue Prince is quite an interesting game that brings innovations to a stagnant genre, but at the same time suffers from a whole set of shortcomings.

Le côté roguelike pousse vraiment à réfléchir à chacune de nos actions. On ne se contente pas de poser une pièce “juste pour avancer” : chaque décision doit être pensée. Les pièces disponibles sont souvent très limitées (au nombre de une pour la majorité), et le fait de les placer rapidement ou d’attendre peut être décisif. Certaines peuvent également révéler des secrets si elles sont utilisées ou activées d’une manière spécifique. Les puzzles, casse-têtes et secrets sont particulièrement réussis. J’ai adoré partir à la recherche d’indices, comprendre les mécaniques, et surtout avoir ces moments de révélation où une découverte change complètement notre compréhension du jeu … voire influence totalement nos futures runs. Le jeu surprend régulièrement, et c’est l’un de ses plus grands points forts. Cela dit, il met du temps à se mettre en place. On peut longtemps tâtonner avant de trouver quelque chose d’intéressant, et certaines runs enchaînent les impasses. J’ai moi-même ressenti pas mal de frustration : des schémas qui se répètent, des salles qui semblent inutiles à l’intrigue, et parfois un vrai manque de chance dans le tirage des pièces, ce qui peut rendre l’expérience assez lente. Mais paradoxalement, c’est aussi ce qui fait la force du jeu : lorsqu’une découverte arrive, elle est extrêmement gratifiante. Elle rend tous les essais infructueux presque insignifiants, et procure un vrai sentiment d'accomplissement. Il met à l’épreuve l’attention aux détails, la minutie, la capacité à faire des liens, la réflexion… mais surtout, et vraiment surtout, la patience.

La idea de Blue Prince es sin duda muy buena, original e interesante. Sin embargo, desgraciadamente, la ejecución no está a la altura. Las primeras vueltas por la casa todo es nuevo y es genial, pero una vez que has dado unas cuantas vueltas acabas viendo que bajo la apariencia de interés e interactividad, la realidad es que la proporción de habitaciones con puzzles es relativamente baja y tienen siempre el mismo puzzle de modo que una vez resuelto hay que simplemente repetir. Y todo el avance real de la partida acaba no siendo una cuestión de resolver puzzles sino de un frustrante RNG que decide si te salen las habitaciones adecuadas para lo que quieres hacer, si tienes los recursos (items, llaves, etc.) para poder abrirlas y sacarles partido, etc. Y pese a que hay alguna pista de historia, la realidad es que lo que más hay son notas esparcidas de lore de tiempos pasados, no una historia real.Gráficamente el juego es interesante con ese look de dibujos animados bien llevado. El sonido cumple, pero tampoco es la gran cosa y tiene poca variedad real. Al menos, eso si, no me topé con ningún bug mientras lo **** resultado es un juego que me encantaría poder recomendar, pero no puedo. Un 4.

Very frustrating RNG-based game. Most puzzles require you to be lucky (you need to draw the right succession of rooms) and are not challenging, in the end.
