  1. Trine's got the gameplay and the looks to make it well worth your time and money.
  2. Trine is an extremely well-balanced and clever game. A little combat, a little platforming action, some very well-designed puzzling – the overall effect resulting in a quite enticing game.
  3. Trine deserves recognition for bringing the Lost Vikings template back to our PCs, but it isn't a classic. [Oct 2009, p.66]

    This game is quite amazing. The 2d game play is fantastic, the story is humorous and yet has some depth to it, the art in this game is totally FANTASTIC, and all 3 characters are pretty useful. However, there are a few things I dislike about it. One is that the music tends to be a little repetitive. It isn't bad, but it's noticeable. Also another 'problem' is the platforming. It isn't 'bad', but it's a little loose, perhaps a bit too easy? There is some challenge in the game, but it really isn't that difficult. I only played through the medium game, so I might be wrong and it would be more difficult in later levels. It's hard to tell. Anyways, the amazing aspects of the game far outweigh any problems with the game, and I think it is well worth the cost. Expand

  2. The game is extremely pretty to look at. It's a good length game consider the price tag and there welcome complexity to the character designs. However, the game play is very lacking. The puzzles are extremely easy and repetitive. The jumping controls are unresponsive and lack precision. You see largely only 1 enemy type throughout the whole game which gets dull extremely quickly. The coop play is awkward as the game is obviously not design only for single player. The music lacks variance. Expand

  3. I have bought it a while ago on sale, because of the Christmas achievement, for less than one euro. The art-design is interesting, the story telling is ok, feels like we were listening to some kind of a fable, humorous characters are there too, so what's wrong with this game? The gameplay, that's what's wrong. The whole game (at least 7 first levels, because at this point I stopped playing) is just a gallery of simple puzzles we solve using our characters' abilities (like the mage to create a crate to put it somewhere where necessary, or using the thief's rope to get somewhere), and uninspiring fights, that are as miserably done as it is possible. It just got annoying, using the same simple abilities to solve the same simple puzzles. Expand
