The credits have just rolled on Blue Prince, a goal that felt akin to attempting to exploring an open world RPG; you have a main objective, but every time you try to get there you just get carried away with exploring points of interest, and then you discover more side quests – soon, you’ve forgotten that you’re supposed to be looking for your kidnapped son. In Dogubomb’s Blue Prince, a unique strategy puzzle game, we play as Simon, the heir to Mt. Holly.
