Looking back, The Sands of Time is one of the best games I have ever played. The game was just magnificent.

Warrior within was my favorite ever. They simply don't make bangers anymore.

Just a warning that although it says "steam deck compatible" purchasing the game doesn't give you a steam code.

I don't have the gog version. The steam version has controller support but it's janky as hell. I prefer to just emulate the PS2 version with a 60fps patch. That's how bad it is.

That's a slickdeals staff write-up goof. These games are GoG, not Steam. Side note - it's doable to run these from GoG on the Steam Deck, but it's an involved process.

Steam has most of these on sale for $1.99 as well. The Warrior Within isn't on sale.

Oh, I thought you meant the baths on the other side of the palace! I had myself a nice massage and... stop talking to yourself!

SoT had a delightfully campy feel, but it was really very short, buggy AF (there were literally game breaking bugs where some of the mechanisms wouldn't activate making it impossible to progress) and the combat was pretty basic.

WW certainly fixed the shallow combat, but at the expense of pretty much everything else except the acrobatics. It also dragged a bit around the 3/4 mark, the map was the single most useless thing of I think any game I've ever played, and those Dahaka chases can suck it.

TT was almost the "just right" title, but the whole sand disease thing just really didn't fit IMO, plus it basically retcons everything from the first two games.

The 360 "remake" or reimagining, wasn't exactly a bad game, but it was very simple and forgettable. I honestly don't remember anything about the plot. I think there was some kind of magic tree involved, but I'm not even sure about that. Only other things I remember is the "Farah" joke at the very beginning and how you literally couldn't die, even if you intentionally jumped off a ledge or something.

That all said, these are all worth $2 easy. I keep hoping one day I'll see Ubi has made a true successor to the original trilogy with the acrobatic mechanics. These days, until there's an actual product being sold, I just assume there's a chance it could be canceled and never released, even if it's like 90% done such as the 360 Golden Eye, or the many incarnations of Duke Nukem Forever.

I, personally, couldn't get enough of Warrior Within.

As a sidenote, Prince of Persia was one of my first videogames back in 1991! Playing it destroyed the keyboard of my (vintage) Tandy Laptop..😃
