Game Informer introduces "Spotlight," a feature that showcases intriguing and often overlooked games. The article focuses on Blue Prince, a first-person roguelike puzzle game. Players navigate an ever-changing mansion with randomized rooms, engaging in strategic problem-solving within limited steps. Each day presents new challenges and resets the game, adding depth to the mechanics. Editors aim to create a community conversation around games they explore, emphasizing the importance of highlighting captivating yet lesser-known titles for readers' enjoyment.
After reviewing The Roottrees Are Dead, I didn't expect to sink into another compelling puzzle game that would require note-taking this soon. Blue Prince quickly occupied my brain matter with its inventive puzzle-solving.
This first-person roguelike adventure tasks you with reaching the 46th room in an ever-changing mansion, where the floor plan materializes as you progress. Opening a door presents one of three randomized rooms to step into.
Building a path to the final room is a tricky and mind-bending exercise, especially since you're limited in the number of steps you take each day.
Once you run out of steps or are unable to create a forward path, the day concludes and the mansion resets itself to start a fresh run tomorrow.
