Mini Review Blue Prince (PS5) - A Deceptively Deep Puzzler That Delights and Confounds
The house that Simon built
Blue Prince is one of those puzzle games best played with little knowledge going in, as much of its joy is in uncovering its surprisingly deep depths. At surface level, this is a sort-of roguelike adventure in which you map out the layout of a mysterious mansion across a 45-square grid, with your ultimate goal being to...

About The Game
Welcome to Mt. Holly, the mysterious manor with shifting rooms. In Blue Prince, you embark on a genre-defying experience, filled with a unique mix of mystery, strategy, and puzzles that weave together to create an unpredictable journey. Will your explorative steps lead you to the rumored Room 46?
DRAFTING YOUR JOURNEY
Upon reaching a closed door in Mt. Holly, you decide what room appears behind it and each decision shapes your path as you navigate through the manor. Every door can reveal new and exciting chambers that contain their own unique challenges and secrets. But be careful how you draft, for each day the manor’s floor plan resets and the rooms you saw today may not be the same rooms you see tomorrow.
EVERY STEP COUNTS
Your progress each day is shaped by the rooms you select to draft and the tools you find within them. Items in the game can be used in a number of creative ways to fuel your exploration deeper into the house, allowing you to adopt unique strategies to combat the challenges that each day brings. Yet, tread wisely – the house resets each dawn, erasing all but the permanent upgrades to your estate blueprint. That is, if you were clever enough to find one!
A HISTORY IN THE MAKING
As the heir of Mt. Holly, you have been tasked to explore its shifting halls in search of Room 46. Yet as your journey takes you further into the mansion’s depths, you start to discover that there is more lurking under the surface than a missing room. Investigate a past woven with the threads of blackmail, political intrigue, and the mysterious disappearance of a local children’s book author. The deeper you venture, the more you realize that the past is closer than it appears.

Just a warning to anyone thinking of purchasing this on PS5: there is a game-breaking bug that will make progress impossible at some point deep into your game. The game will tell you it is saving your progress, and will appear to be saving your progress as long as you don’t force close the game or restart your console.
Once you do, or the game crashes, you’ll find out how long it’s been since your game actually saved. For me it was about 15 in-game days lost, multiple permanent upgrades that took planning, luck, and multiple runs to unlock all gone, and some ultra rare trophies lost. Yes, they’re on PSN but you need to have them counted in-game for a chance at the platinum.
Just beware, you can’t see this coming. The only way to prevent it is to turn off cloud backups, save and quit after every run, noting the Day #, exit out and force close the game. Then restart and see if the Day # next to the continue option is one higher. If it is, you can manually back up your save. If it isn’t the bug has struck.
Edit to add that it’s not a matter of replaying those days, that would be bad enough. The game won’t save anything after the last time it made a good save so if the game crashes or the power goes out you’ve wasted your time again. Not worth it.
It was a great game, too.
Second edit: as of May 22, 2025 it appears to be fixed. I’ve tested it, and as far as I can tell, the game is saving now. I lost so much progress I don’t think I want to play it anymore, but don’t let that stop you from trying it.
