I've never played these but I've always heard good things. Anyone have a recommendation for a fav?
I am not familiar with Uplay or Fanatical, but POP Sands of Time is one of my favorite games ever. I played it on PC when it came out in 2003. It is a little dated, but I remember the gameplay, graphic, and storyline being very refreshing at the time.

Does anyone know if this is a trusted site?

II have loved this in the past on console, but am scared to play a bugfest on pc unless it's on steam? Am I correct?
What... that you're scared? I don't think we can confirm how you feel, it's your feelings.

This title is redeemed via Ubisoft Connect. Please note that you will NOT receive a Uplay key.
So none of these will redeem through Steam. Additionally, regarding the bugs, the first recommended YouTube video for Two Thrones is this game breaking glitch[youtube.com]. As much as I would love to pick these up, it gets a hard pass from me.
Edit: At least 5 people are mad I pointed out the stupidity of writing "for those interested" when it's obvious the deal is of interest to those who want the item.
It's been a while since I played through Sands of Time, but it was through controller. Pretty sure it was the wireless 360 adapter so X controller. Near positive it wasn't another generic controller I had. It worked well from what I remember. I know this because it's a game I actually completed after putting it down originally when it first came out.
Two Thrones > Warrior Within > Sands of Time. Skip the other two.
The storyline and gameplay are a solid 10/10. Graphics would feel dated by today's standard ofc.
I actually loved the Prince of Persia reboot. I think its biggest flaw is that it's a reboot and a lot of folks wanted a direct continuation. As a standalone game, though, it's pretty enjoyable and it feels more modern than the others.
I can only comment on the first three. Sands of Time is the best, but the other two are really great too. Warrior Within gets a lot of crap but I think it's a vastly underrated game.
The reason it gets crap is that they made it really "edgy". I mean really comically edgy. And if you take PoP seriously, it's going to bug you. I think the best way to look at Warrior Within (and this may have actually happened) is that some executive kept saying "MORE EDGY! MORE EDGY! so the development team made it COMICALLY edgy, I mean parodically edgy just to (a) satisfy this stupid exec, and (b) so they could laugh at how comically edgy it was.
So if you take the edginess of Warrior Within as a sort of joke, it's really funny, and otherwise, it's an incredible game.
Two Thrones tones down the edginess and it's sort of somewhere in between the magical charm of "Sands of Time" and the crazy edgelord vibe of "Warrior Within."
My only complaint about Two thrones is kind of minor. You know how feminists started taking over games journalism and some studios lately, and there's been this sort of "uglification" of women in video games, because feminists hate hot women? Well, I think this was actually the very first game to do it. Warrior Within has this smoking hot "Empress of Time" and she's brought back in Two Thrones, but significantly more ugly.
