Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Game Review/Commentary 10

[madimpossibledreamer]

 

Do we have water back here?  By any chance?  No, we don’t.  I could really use water.  At least I did find a save point.  Which is helpful.  But also.

Thank you for not actually running onto that.

Oh dear, everything that exists, why.  I understand.  I want to run from this lever too.  But we can’t.  We have to pull it, and then literally have to get through all that stuff before time runs out.  Why are you running slower, Prince?  (Is that actually a ’low on health’ game mechanic??)  That was close.  …There are more of them, nooo.  But we did get through one, which is good.  Is there water, or—no, there’s just enemies.  That’s good.

Yeah, let’s right kick ‘em.  Kick ‘em in the face.  And that.  Do all the things, Prince.  At least they have these guys so we can get sand tanks off ‘em so when we mess up it’s not as big a deal.

Also, where are you guys coming from?  That’s my question.  Power thing?  What power thing?  Did I accidentally use something when I wasn’t trying to?

Camera’s having a seizure again.

I think I accidentally let one of them hit me once. *singsong*….I CAN SEE WATER BEHIND ME.  I can see nothing of what’s happening…I’m stuck inside a tree, I think.  That’s the most unhelpful Camera I think I’ve ever seen, including the seizure Camera. 

…What’s up with these guys?  Why aren’t they dying?  Wait, is that not water?  Is that, in fact, not water?  At least that’s all the enemies.  Is that not water?  It’s a garden.  There has to be water somewhere, right?  Right?  That only makes sense.  It’s really pretty.  Are you sure you’re not…Well.  It may not be water, but it’s a sand geyser thing.  Cloud. 

And a save spot.  Wonder if this is like that one game where doing this is actually infecting me?  (I mean, Soma, but I think I mention that later on, so.  There are others I’m sure.) I bet it is actually infecting me.  I bet it is.  So don’t trust save spots.  Well, trust them, but don’t trust them.  They’re up to no good.  They mean nothing good for you.

Excuse me, water?  I am so thirsty.  Plants?  I will eat you for water.  Where are you hiding your water?  There you’re hiding your water!  Thank you so much for telling me.  I appreciate everything and did not mean to attack it for it is important to us all.

I have full health!  I have full health for the first time in ages.

I don’t think climbing this is actually useful in any way, shape, or form, but I like to climb things, what can I say?  What about wallrunning up the symbol?  Wallrunning up the symbol, in fact, does do something.  Good to know.  …Oh, this is also timed.

The plants are laughing at me, because I keep wallrunning to the side instead of up.
