“Blue Prince” Review

 

At a time when some people worry they may never be able to afford a home, it seems cruel to make a video game in which a kid gets a free mansion.

But you won’t feel that way after you see what he has to do to get it. In the video game Blue Prince (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC) a fourteen year old kid has to search his grand uncle’s massive estate for the secret 46th room in a 45 room mansion. But to do so, he has to get through what I can only describe as a cross between a board game, an escape room, and a sadistic puzzle game.

Or so I found out when I recently had a chance to play this intellectually challenging game.
