Summary
The Prisoner Of The Night is a puzzle platformer game that stands out with its nice graphics and excellent voice work, which almost serves as a narration as you play. The game is a reasonable 1.16GB download size and comes with a platinum trophy. An added bonus is that you get both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions of the game.
The gameplay involves collecting dresses, and changing between them gives different abilities like flying or pushing boxes. This mechanic, combined with the shoulder buttons that let you swap between collected outfits, adds a layer of strategy to the game. The game also features in-game cutscenes and tutorial pop-ups as you play, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
However, the game has some drawbacks. The controls cannot be remapped, and the game doesn’t do a good job of explaining things or breaking you in properly. The checkpoints require a button press to activate, and you have to press a button every time you respawn, which can be a bit tedious. The font is not great, and the music can be a bit grating. The general movement is also sluggish, which might affect the gameplay experience.
In summary, The Prisoner Of The Night is a game with good ideas set within a well-designed world. It has an easy enough trophy list and offers a unique gameplay mechanic of changing outfits for different abilities. However, it falls short in some areas like control mapping, explanation of game mechanics, and general movement.
