Whether you look at its roguelike, puzzle, or narrative design, Blue Prince expresses utter mastery over mysteries. The act of hunting for clues, unearthing secrets, and piecing leads together on the mental equivalent of a red yarn-covered corkboard is an unmatched thrill. It's a game that has consumed my every waking hour, and even after hitting credits, I'm eager to play a hundred more runs.","2025-04-16T18:22:07.024049-04:00","2025-05-27T18:51:43.234237-04:00",{"id":243,"logo":257,"name":258,"slug":259,"tags":26,"bluesky":26,"twitter":260,"youtube":261,"facebook":262,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":263,"website_url":264,"score_format":42,"average_score":186,"default_timezone":44,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":73,"headquarters_city":265,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":266,"reviews_editor_email":26,"editor_in_chief_email":26,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fgameinformer.jpg","Game Informer","gameinformer","GameInformer","@gameinformer","officialgameinformer","Over 30 years celebrating the best of games in print and online.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gameinformer.com\u002F","Minneapolis","United States",{"id":268,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":269,"author":270,"original_score":140,"normalized_score":115,"review_url":278,"review_date":279,"summary":280,"created_at":281,"updated_at":281,"author_id":271,"last_edited_at":281,"outlet":282},130350,15,{"id":271,"bio":26,"name":272,"avg_score":273,"outlet_id":269,"created_at":274,"profile_id":275,"updated_at":276,"claim_token":26,"article_count":277,"claimed_by_user_id":275},2574,"Jess Clayton-Berry",66.77777777777777,"2024-12-03T06:59:17.494269-05:00","fed86d41-3b80-4741-a763-88e732622ea0","2025-10-13T15:35:48.52436-04:00",92,"https:\u002F\u002Fgameluster.com\u002Fblue-prince-review-prince-and-repeat\u002F","2025-04-15","Blue Prince is an extraordinary achievement in puzzle games and its scale is incomprehensible and unlike anything I've seen in this genre before.
