6/27/2023 0 Comments Trine 2 ratingI sat in awe as the first scene of Trine 2 drew me in with it’s glorious attention to the power of light, colour and detail. Trine 2 is like the game a prime-time Disney kept under lock and key waiting for the moment to unleash it’s vast and varied charms upon the world.It’d be no understatement to say this is possibly the best looking arcade game yet. The wizard has the power to levitate objects and summon blocks (massively more helpful than it sounds), the warrior is the brawn to the wizard’s brain, merrily ploughing through waves of enemies like it’s a Sunday afternoon stroll in the park, he also has the strength to clear the way via brute force and a swing of his hammer and finally the thief is the agile one, equipped with grappling hook and nimble enough to fly through the air like the circus trapeze.Each character is a lot of fun to use, granted you’ll probably spend most time in the wizard’s robes as his powers come in particularly handy on most sections but I honestly enjoyed each one equally which is a great achievement on behalf of the game’s creators. The three character choices all come equipped with their own unique abilities. The gameplay is a generally straight forward side scrolling affair with oodles of puzzling fun to tax the brain along the way. A combination of gentle storytelling, breathtaking visuals, likeable characters, un-intrusive yet necessary music and fantastic gameplay come together like a dream. What Trine 2 does magnificently is it allows the player to become lost very quickly within it’s world. It’s not exactly a ground breaking tale, but it really doesn’t need to be. It’s been something of a vintage year for connoisseur’s of the arcades and with Trine 2, Atlus and Frozenbyte may have just iced the cake. As I mentioned the game follows a very basic storyline, three heroes called upon by the Trine to save the day. In fact Trine 2 is a thing of wonder and beauty, a game that has the power to enchant the player with it’s sumptuous attention to detail and deeply atmospheric lighting while also challenging the grey cells with a number of beautifully balanced puzzles. Trine 2 serves up a heady mix of hack and slash, top notch platforming and puzzle’s devious enough to slow your progress but never to the point of exasperation.Īs far as 2011 goes we’ve all been treated to some truly masterpiece-like arcade games. Yet despite ticking almost every fantasy genre cliché box on the scroll, Trine 2 is anything but stale. The Wizard, Warrior and Thief are present and correct as are a multitude of Goblin foes to dispatch along the way, the way itself is a deja-vu inducing mix of deep, dank caverns, enchanted forests and ye olde villages. If so Trine 2 could be a rough ride, blessed as it is with some of the most well travelled fantasy routes. Trine 5 is developed by Frozenbyte in Helsinki, Finland and is coming to PC, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One™, Xbox Series S/X™, and Nintendo Switch™.I began asking myself before stepping into the clichéd fantasy world of Trine 2 does familiarity really breed contempt? The clock is ticking to save the world of Trine! Whether by yourself or playing with up to three friends in online and local co-op, the Heroes of Trine must reunite to push back a fearsome Clockwork army and bring peace and justice to the land. From glistening gemstone caverns to perilous underwater passageways - but be aware, the three Heroes are pitted against dastardly and duplicitous villains, who will stop at nothing to seize control of the kingdom. This 2.5D puzzle-platforming game full of adventures is set in a fantastical fairytale world, offering players twenty beautifully designed levels to explore. Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy will take Amadeus the Wizard, Zoya the Thief, and Pontius the Knight on their most action-packed journey in their fifth outing - and seems promising to become the best Trine game of the series! Puzzles will change difficulty according to the number of players, the game also offers a skill quest system, and new tactical multi-phase boss fights! THQ Nordic GmbH and Frozenbyte are ready to send players on a new adventure: The Trine series is back and coming to PC, PS4™, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo® Switch!
