Everything about the game just seems so balanced.Trine 2: Complete Story is a beautiful, award-winning sidescrolling game of action, puzzles and platforming. The game progressively becomes more difficult, as a game should, but the ability to customize each character separately from one another also allows the player to evolve with the game. There were a few levels that I felt overstayed their welcome, but overall Trine 4 flows perfectly. There are also several different ways in which puzzles can be solved adding a high replay value to the game. There’s something so rewarding when you finally solve those more difficult puzzles. However, more times than not, I had been overthinking them and just needed a moment to regroup and look at the solution from another angle. The puzzles of Trine 4 range from the simple to complicated and there were even a few where I wanted to violently throw my controller at my TV. The Trine heroes have battled many assorted foes but in Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince, you get to see and battle what dark fantasies lurk in the psyche of Zoya, Amadeus, and Pontius. Trine 4 also features adorable friendly creatures.Īlong the way, you will encounter several cute woodland creatures but unfortunately, they will provide their own nightmares and dreams that will manifest as ghostly figures you will need to defeat. Before long you will be switching between characters so effortlessly you won’t even notice. In this stunning landscape, you travel through musty old libraries, encounter moss-covered statues at ancient shrines, and. Having to control three characters might sound a little overwhelming but through what must be magic, the task is super intuitive. Trine 2 may appear to be the storybook fantasy world of your dreams. His shield is also useful in deflecting and reflecting things like water and sunlight.Ĭontrolling Three Characters Is Easier Than It Sounds He’s a bit slower but in combat his mighty sword can take out enemies with lightning strikes. He’s larger and stronger than the others and has a ground punch that can smash through the toughest of materials. That leaves just Pontius the Knight who is the heavy of the group.

My problem is he’s kind of useless in combat. Zoya can attach rope to one Amadeus’s boxes, and Pontius can smash them into barriers. Combine that with her grappling hook, and she’s not only fast, but can also create rope bridges that all characters can use.Īmadeus the wizard uses magic to levitate and move things, he can also conjure boxes and balls that are used to move to areas that you couldn’t before. The puzzles are still enjoyable but again it is our unlikely band of heroes that is the main pull. Whilst the mechanics do not evolve a whole lot from the first game, the evolution in aesthetics is immediately noticeable.

All characters have a unique skill tree to upgrade, but once you unlock her elemental arrows, she seems to possess the most superhero qualities. The vibrant and richly detailed level design really is a joy to adventure through. I enjoy playing as Zoya the bow and arrow wielding thief the most. Trine 2 is a puzzle-platform game, requiring the player to use the skills of the three characters, Amadeus the wizard, Zoya the thief, and Pontius the knight. Jumping on the seal is similar to bouncing on a trampoline. Finding which character you need at any given time is part of Trine’s charm. This requires the Trine hero swapping feature that lets you switch identities with a push of a button. Each hero possesses distinctive abilities and all three are often required to solve the puzzles of a level to pass.
