Is Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown worth playing on Switch?
Is it playable? Let's take a look.
The Switch is still Nintendo's current-gen console, and it's still going strong. This is decent going for a piece of hardware that first came out in 2017.
However, there's often cause for concern when a AAA game - made for the likes of the PlayStation 5 - gets ported to the Switch.
It wasn't a powerful console in the first place, with Nintendo doing its usual of putting innovation before graphics. So many a big release hasn't fared well on the handheld device.
Mortal Kombat 1 became a bit of a meme on the internet with its hugely scaled down character models.

Is Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown worth playing on Switch?
With a price tag of £44.99, you don't want to waste your money on a port that doesn't show Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown in its best light.
Especially with all the glowing reviews, you'll want a version that gives you the full experience. Or at least as close to it as possible.
So, is the Switch version playable? Well, in PJ O'Reilly's review for Nintendo Life, he addresses these concerns directly, saying: "Perhaps most importantly for the Switch version of the game, we've had very few issues with Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown in terms of its performance.
"It looks fantastically bright and colourful in both docked and handheld (1080p and 720p respectively) and plays at 60fps across the board, so big wins all around there."
