Supporters | Game of the Week: Prince of Persia and the question of memory tax
Where was I?
I think I first heard the term memory tax when I was writing about chess. In chess, at the really great levels of play, memory tax is a huge part of what you're dealing with.

Digital Foundry | Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is simply beautiful across all platforms
Highly accomplished on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch and PC.
With Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, UbiSoft has completely eschewed its typical open world formula, instead choosing to narrow its focus building a side-scrolling, exploration-driven platform game - and it might just by my favorite thing the publisher has released in the last ten years. The Lost Crown is not pushing cutting-edge visuals, instead focusing on delivering a supremely polished, ultra smooth game that perfectly leverages every platform it has shipped on.
