Blue Prince is a roguelike puzzle game where players explore a mysterious mansion inherited from their grandfather. The main objective is to find a way to the legendary Room 46, which doesn't appear on any building blueprints, while collecting key artifacts along the way.

Following the publication of press reviews, its score stands at 92 on Metacritic and 91 on OpenCritic: 

  • Eurogamer — 10/10  
  • Noisy Pixel — 10/10  
  • Loot Level Chill — 10/10  
  • GAMINGbible — 10/10  
  • Gameliner — 10/10  
  • Digital Spy — 10/10  
  • XboxEra — 10/10  
  • Slant Magazine — 9/10  
  • Shacknews — 9/10  
  • mp1st — 9/10  
  • TheGamer — 9/10  
  • GamesRadar+ — 4/5  

Critics particularly praised the well-crafted gameplay, which starts intuitively but gradually reveals deeper mechanics. Although players can upgrade rooms, real progress comes from carefully studying the game's systems. The atmospheric soundtrack and meticulously designed world, where every detail contributes to the overall experience, also received acclaim.

Among the drawbacks, reviewers highlighted an element of randomness that can create temporary obstacles even for well-prepared players.

The game launches April 10 on PC, Xbox Series, and PlayStation 5, and will also be available through PS Plus and Game Pass subscriptions.
