The subscribers to the PlayStation Plus service just got themselves a shiny and exciting new game to immerse in. Blue Prince is a new chargeable game available for subscribers of the Game Catalog. It is all about hold on to the seals of constructing, manipulating real-life puzzles, and encapsulating everything in mystery.
The storyline is very much Dogubomb’s writing, with the player given an assignment to uncover the legacy of some mysterious progenitors towards terribly missed potential in the glaring world.
So, what is the deal with Blue Prince? It is not just a puzzle game. Most puzzle games involve matching blocks or solving some small riddles, whereas here, the players build through the challenge, sculpting environments and hunting for hidden clues-and that inheritance angle makes it even more interesting: Who left it? Why? What is the catch?
Gloomy and moody looks from surreal landscapes and bizarre vibes shown in the trailer suggest the game could very well feel like a puzzle inside a mystery novel.
It’s funny how, right now, there are no responses or reactions to PlayStation’s tweets. Either folks are really downloading it today, or this is one of those sleeper hits that get huge after streamers have their run with it.
Most of the time new PS Plus games are met with equal amounts of excitement and hatred when they aren’t “AAA” enough. But this time there isn’t much chatter.
Blue Prince still seems to be a nice pick for fans of puzzle games with a side of narrative. The fact that those on the Game Catalog can enjoy it without having to cough up cash is always a plus. Who knows, it might just end up being the next thing-on-the-hook, especially for gamers that prefer some thought with their entertainment and storyline.
No word yet as to how long it will remain in the catalog, so now is your best bet for trying it. Who knows, maybe in a week’s time, our social media will be lit up with users either praising it for clever design or ripping it to shreds due to some punishing puzzle. Either way, it is definitely a new pathway to check out.
So, enough ramblings! Get that TV on, get the PlayStation on, and play Blue Prince before anyone else! If not, before you go insane trying. Whichever comes first.
