One of the most praised puzzlers of last year, Blue Prince, is making its way to Switch 2 today. Yes, that’s right, today.
For those who missed out on this one, Blue Prince is a puzzle roguelike ‘metroidbrania’, that tasks you with cracking the mysteries of Mt Holly — an estate left to you by an elderly relative.
It’s one of those games where you’ll absolutely want to have a notebook on hand as you explore the mansion’s ever-shifting halls. The central mystery of finding the fabled Room 46 is a glorious one, but it’s only the tip of the iceberg, as you’ll soon be threading together stories about revolutions, missing persons and strange family trees.
The Switch 2 version even supports Mouse Mode, so you can glide around the screen with ease.
Here’s a handful of screenshots, so you can get an idea of what’s in store.
