Great game. A modern Metrovania platformer, inspired by the first earliest PoP games.However the Mac version has a bug on the final boss. It’s a multi-part battle with triggered events. After I die once and I click Retry, one of the triggered events doesn’t happen so the fight stops. The only choice is to exit the game, then start from the last waypoint. (I saw another reviewer with the same problem.)I tried in good faith to report the issue on Ubisoft's website, but it had no option to select the Macintosh platform. I tried “PC”, and filled in the form, but got an automated response that the game is no longer supported. At the time the Mac version was only 9 months old.(Two minor bugs also worth mentioning, but avoidable: 1. don’t switch to Finder while game is running to connect a new bluetooth controller— the game won’t recover. 2. the controller button to see the Map works on a regular Xbox wireless controller, but not on an Elite 2.)I’m NOT sorry I bought and played it, I got my money’s worth! And I still recommend it to people. The final boss can be finished in theory, but is very difficult and each attempt is delayed by needing to reload the game and run back from the last waypoint. Ubisoft’s support website ended it on a sour note so I watched the ending online instead.

I played Prince of Persia back in the day on my Apple //, and was excited to see this that I bought it right away - not noticing that it did not state controller support. Well, controller support is there indeed, but only for specific PS4 and Xbox One + controllers - NOT for MFI controllers, ones made to work with Apple’s platforms. It was disappointing to me that after Apple has provided for YEARS now support for a fair amount of controllers, there are still apps that do not make an attempt to support this way. My 8BitDo Pro 2, supported in so many instances, is NOT supported here. Get this fixed Ubisoft, this should never have been an issue….

I’ve been eyeing this game all year because I always hear good things about it. But the 2D side scrolling Metroidvania type style game in 2025 just looked old to me. But I decided to buy this on sale. And man this has got to be one of the most fun games I’ve EVER played. Worth every penny. It’s something I think I’ll have installed for a long time even after I already beat it. The replay ability and tons of side challenges are so unique and challenging that it just keeps you entertained for hours. This game is really a brain exercise with all the puzzles and unique abilities the character has. I highly recommend. I was able to play 4k resolution at 60Fps on my Mac mini M2 8GB RAM with no problems.

****So I got the controller to work. UBI Support page for connection and performance says it supports the Dual Sense Edge controller. The Dual Sense Edge does not work, But the regular Dual Sense works****. ORIGINAL Review: The UBISoft support page for connections states that this game supports controllers on MAC, but there isn’t a way in game to select or use a controller. Also the APP store here doesn’t show that a controller is supported… Maybe there will be an update?
