In our Blue Prince Review, Chris Livingston called the run -based room draft one one of the best puzzle games in the years. It is the work of “incredible workmanship and beauty” that is capable of writing all the fraudulent notebooks needed to expose the mystery of its abusive mansion. And by the eyes of things, Chris is not alone.
So far, Blue Prince is the best reviewer game of 2025.
It is only April, but earning an important reception that comes before each game in the first quarter of the year, is not a small feat, especially when the first few months of 2025 were stacked with well -reviewed games. On both Open Crete And MetacriticBlue Prince has won a higher review score than large -scale launches like Monster Hunter Wildes, Kingdom 2, and Hassan’s professional shadows.
Criticities shared critics are pile up on the Blue Prince that its layers are appreciated for solving the problem and the puzzle. at all GamesraderReviewer Oscar Taylor Kent celebrates how the development of the Blue Prince is achieved “by the pursuit of knowledge, how to keep the room to keep the room, or by picking up and reading the notes, provides more and more approaches about what you are really doing.”
For Christian Donlan UrugmerThe collecting strategies and knowledge of this layers not only helps the blue prince offers a compulsive mystery, but we also look for our ready relationships with these places. Donland writes, “More than anything, the Blue Prince seems to be familiar with the time you are spending inside it, and this is pure magic to me.” “The richest aspect of the game’s most rich design can be that once you live with it for a while, how many secrets it will go.”
Keeping the Blue Prince in the league with Obra Dunn and the outer forest return, two of the most preferred mystery of the last decade, Ign Reviewer Tom Marx says his fiction is as rich and beneficial as his puzzles.
Marx writes, “The World Building here has been abolished with patience that I am not accustomed to seeing, with tons to know about your relatives, feudal, and the nation in which it is located in it, but none of it has been forced to hug you.” “From this I can get anything about important historical events or complex geographical politicals that feel like a win that helps solve future mystery, not just reading in some ‘lore’ books or letters and then moving forward.”
Time will tell if the post -2025 release manages to post high review numbers, but it is clear that the Blue Prince has already removed his place as a year -long contender. I am hoping that I will end with similar definition. Until now, my time with the game has been just to solve this puzzle on how to draft itself in the end. There is always the next race.
