  "textContent": "submitted by topcrest to gaming\n23 points | 5 comments\n\nI’m going back and playing older games (and some newer ones). Games I played as I was younger, games I never played but saw on shelves or heard referenced over the years, and games from franchises I’ve heard about for a long time. A long and fun road ahead. For the most part I have original hardware but I have used FPGA and Software emulation too. I’d like to just post some thoughts as I go through with no regular cadence. Not a review.\n\nJust finished Prince of Persia Sands of Time on PS2. I have to say, a bit buggier than I recall. I had originally played it on a different system. Camera controls are jank and the audio seemed tricky. Often lines were delivered really quietly and someone else would be super loud.\n\nAll that said, what a great game! Gameplay usually felt solid, characters were all interestingly designed, and the sound design overall was fantastic. Loved it and glad I replayed it.\n\nShort ish (7hrs at 98% complete). Felt like it had great pacing, good mix of action and story, great voice acting, and fun writing. Has a bit of fan service which was annoying but overall, loved it.\n\nDirectly following it up with Prince of Persia Warrior within. What a tone shift lol.\n\nAnyone play it back in the day or revisit it recently?",
