I love a good pun, and Blue Prince is right up there with the best of them. I’ll be honest, when I first heard about and saw this game at Gamescom last year, the wordplay sailed right over my head in the moment, but when I got it, I got it, and can only applaud the masterful titling. I’m glad to see that the game has come together really well, too!
