Blue Prince is one of the surprise smash hits of the year, wowing critics and fans alike (for the most part) with it's unique mix of boardgamey problem solving, it's discovery-based mysteries and in particular with it's legendary difficulty - but is Blue Prince quite as hard as it seems so eager to imply?
The Architect has surveyed studies, looked through libraries and agonized over Antechambers to discover that, no, Blue Prince is actually helping the player in secret constantly, and it's hardly the only legendarily hard game that dedicates just as much time to helping us out as it does to actually being hard...
