Similarity to Prince of Persia edit

"The gameplay is similar to the original Prince of Persia," - Aside from the issue of stating this opinion in Wikipedia's voice, it's a worthless statement to anyone who hasn't played the original PoP. I don't think this needs to be included at all. Argento Surfer (talk) 14:26, 20 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Well, that the mechanic of having characters switch from walking mode to fighting stance is an objective fact of both games, so it's not really an opinion. As for why the comparison is relevant, I concede that readers unfamiliar with the early PoP games might not see the relevance, but as the games were contemporaneous, it is a valid comparison. oknazevad (talk) 14:57, 20 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
It might have been valid to gamers at the time, but surely there have been other games since using the same technique? If the similarity was remarked upon by reviewers or guides, it should be attributed to those individuals in a Reception section. Argento Surfer (talk) 15:15, 20 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
