Blue Prince is, from all I have found so far, a fantastic hybrid of puzzle adventure with a random board game style strategic tile drawing element that shakes up the norms formed by prior Mystlikes and puzzle titles in which the world is curated and fixed in layout, not unpredictably arranged as it is here. Not saying that is a failing of Myst or Riven, they do what they do really well and artfully, especially in the modern VR form, but they are not audaciously attempting this particular creative experimentation. Can maybe compare this to Outer Wilds which mixed physics spaceflight sim elements not ordinarily seen in a puzzler with a clever cosmic mystery, and these types of hybrids attaching other genre elements and game mechanics to make the puzzle adventure category into something fresh again are very welcome. I look forward to playing through this to its end, congrats to the indie team here that made such an innovative game.:)
