Regarding the upcoming review of the game by Push Square, stay alert because it’s coming soon. Until then, let me share with you some general opinions about Blue Prince.

Eurogamer – 5/5

Above all, Blue Prince appears to sense the time you invest within it, which I find utterly enchanting. The game’s depth, already impressive, might lie in its ability to reveal hidden secrets as you become more familiar with it. It’s a joy to uncover layers of complexity in things you thought were completely understood, and to revisit something seemingly straightforward only to discover that it’s not so simple after all.

TheGamer – 4.5/5

The game, Blue Prince, transcends typical genres and challenges traditional gaming strategies of optimizing character abilities (min-maxing). Instead, it invites a reflective experience that can’t be hurried, despite its allure to do so. It promises enjoyment, excitement, and likely frustration as you search for solutions that elude your grasp. I’ve yet to encounter a game similar to it, but I won’t be shocked if we witness more adaptations of the roguelike puzzle concept due to its unique charm in the gaming world.

PC Gamer – 92

I adore Blue Prince to such an extent that I plan to devote around 1,500 words or more to describing it while revealing as few details as possible. Delving into its numerous enigmas and solving its myriad puzzles – some of which I’m yet to conquer even after completing the game – is a rewarding experience if you approach it with minimal prior knowledge. Avoid watching walkthroughs, refrain from searching for solutions online, and don’t complete reading this review just yet. Instead, jump right into playing it.

GameSpot – 9/10

Experiencing Blue Prince in video games is one of the most unforgettable adventures I’ve ever encountered. It combines being user-friendly and challenging, irritating yet exhilarating. Just like every version of the Mount Holly manor house that I’ve tried, it’s a unique masterpiece all on its own.

GamesRadar+ – 4/5

Blue Prince stands out by weaving numerous strands of enigma around a fundamental idea, making it an unparalleled gaming experience. This roguelike exploration game has captivated me in ways no other game has, leaving me hooked on solving its puzzles across various playthroughs where I consistently found myself uncovering fresh secrets. To this day, the enigmas of Mt. Holly continue to baffle and delight me long after the credits have rolled.

Vice – Unscored

As a passionate gamer, let me tell you, there’s no denying that Blue Prince has left an indelible mark on my gaming journey, whether it’s indie or AAA. It’s a masterpiece in environmental storytelling and game design, with puzzles that challenge yet delight. To truly appreciate this gem, all you need is to immerse yourself in its captivating world. Frankly, I can’t sing enough praises for the genius of Tonda Ros and his team. Blue Prince stands alone, a unique gem deserving of top billing in 2025’s Game of the Year nominations.
