Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

When the Prince’s older brother unwittingly unleashes the army of King Solomon, it falls to the Prince to leap, climb and hack his way to a solution. To aid him is a Djinn who grants him the power to bound chasms, wield magical attacks and control time. Forgotten Sands has fine aesthetics and somewell-scripted puzzles, but is limited by lifeless combat and a lack of any real “wow” moments. There’s fun to be had, but there are better examples of the adventure genre out there; a prince yes, but one that falls short of being king.
