See all reviews of Blue Prince →This is an incredibly unique game, and everything leading up to finding the 46th room is a really charming and fun experience. However, the game has much much more than just finding the 46th room. There are so many puzzles to find and solve. I love puzzles, I love knowledge based progression, I love it all, except for the fact that it’s all paired with the roguelike element and is entirely luck based. There are so many puzzles I frustratingly abandoned because they require so many items or rooms to be drafted at one time, and then you still need the knowledge necessary to solve the puzzle. Most of the time the final reward for a puzzle is lore revealed through letters, but if I’m being honest I don’t even find the lore of the game to be very interesting at all. I think the game is very interesting but is for a very specific group of very patient and very smart people, and that is not me. I’m glad there’s people out there who love this. But me personally, I am exhausted from how many in game days I spent doing absolutely nothing as a result of bad luck.
