Prince of Persia from 2008 is a reboot of the series by Ubisoft Montreal. A wandering adventurer meets Elika, a princess with magical powers, and the two set out to heal a land being swallowed by a dark corruption after an ancient evil god is released. You climb, wall-run and leap across ruins in a painterly, cel-shaded world, cleansing regions one by one.
Elika stays at your side and saves you from deadly falls, so the game is forgiving and keeps you moving. Combat is one-on-one duels. It is a single-player action adventure suited to players who enjoy acrobatic exploration and a relaxed pace.
