"Blue Prince" GS 9 points: One of the most memorable games I've ever played!

Apr 08 2025

  The media review of Dogubomb Studio's new puzzle game "Blue Prince" has been officially lifted, and GameSpot scored an outstanding score of 9 points. GS said Blue Prince is a sophisticated Rogue puzzle game that will gradually show increasingly sophisticated details and interconnected systems as you go deeper.

  Pros

  Single puzzles are very satisfactory, especially interlocking solutions

  Rogue-like mechanisms ensure that players can always continue to advance towards the truth of at least one puzzle

  The ultimate challenge is unexpected

  Disadvantages

  Studying hours waiting for the random mechanism to trigger conditions can be frustrating.

  GS General Review

 This ancient manor itself is constantly changing, with seemingly endless arrangements and combinations and crisscrossing solutions. Many of these solutions are extremely flexible and can be done in multiple ways, which works well in the context of Rogue-like games, because it keeps you making progress even when an attempt ends in a dead end or other setback. But at some point, you start transitioning to another puzzle that is much stricter, with fewer solutions and more specific. At first I thought it went against the goals and philosophy of the game, but over time I gradually realized that this was exactly where the “Blue Prince” design really lies.

  The purpose of unfolding layer by layer and exploring the operating principles of machines is not. The house is like a treasure chest filled with various independent and interrelated puzzles. But it is also an extremely flexible tool. This adventure not only allows you to walk through the house, but also trains you to control the house. These challenges are like a series of locks, and Blue Prince is about how to open them with physical space itself as a master key.

  "Blue Prince" is one of the unforgettable video games I have played. It is both easy to get started and elusive, and it is both frustrating and ecstatic. Like the layouts of dozens of different Holly Hills estates I designed, it is unique.
