The game is very fun, not too long, not too short. The 2D gameplay is great and reminds me of Castlevania 3 with its varied characters each with their own unique strengths. In Trine the characters are well balanced, the wizard almost being an exception since his only offense is to drop a box or plank on enemies and you can't move while you're summoning, but this vulnerability makes it interesting, especially if he's the only character left alive. The music is absolutely beautiful and perfectly suited to the game and just for listening in general. I completed all achievements and was still left wanting more.… Expand

   Trine is an instantly accessible joy of a game. Anyone who earned their wings playing through platformers in the nineties will feel instantly Trine is an instantly accessible joy of a game. Anyone who earned their wings playing through platformers in the nineties will feel instantly at home. The basic gameplay mechanics are rock solid. You progress through a traditional fairy-tale land thinking and jumping through physics laden levels choosing between a knight, wizard and thief to overcome obstacles. The character animations feel fluid, natural and appropriate to the character model whilst the level designs offer enough of a challenge for the game to roll on without making you feeling patronised or frustrated. You'll find yourself employing each of the three characters individual skills throughout each level but it's the Thief character that shines the brightest. The archery system is satisfying and intuitive. The in game graphics are wonderfully over the top; reminiscent of the first d3d games where colour and lighting were splashed around with gusto as the designers played with the nascent lighting tech. The consistency of the quality in the graphics is outstanding reflecting a sense the designers real enjoyed colouring each pixel. The game engine offers reasonable scalability (no doubt held back by the strain the physics processing lays down on the CPU) meaning even most laptop gamers will be able to enjoy Trine's charm albeit on a very low res. Disappointments are few but most notably the enemy AI could do with a re visit as they hone on your character often to their destruction by one of the numerous physics based environmental traps. Xbox controllers are fully supported but the game doesn't seem to save your preference for it, requiring a trip to the options screen at every start and I haven't decided whether the ropey cut-scenes and the shocking load screen add or detract from the overall charm of the experience. All in all one of the best simplest and most enjoyable games I've ever played. Thoroughly recommendable.… Expand

   Trine is a charming fantasy platform with fantastic 3D visuals despite only being navigational in two dimensions. The canvas of the game isTrine is a charming fantasy platform with fantastic 3D visuals despite only being navigational in two dimensions. The canvas of the game is vibrant and glowing with true fantasy which draws in you in and keeps you continuing this pleasant and humorous tale. The puzzle elements aren't overly taxing and never angered or had me stumped for too long to discourage me from the game. The developers have cleverly combined three unique and individual characters into the players hands that can be switched between to fulfil specific challenges and tasks though the player is never given a concrete solution to each obstacle and can complete each encounter in their own way. The game is not too short nor too long and has replay value via Steam achievements and finding all the secrets within the game.
   One annoyance I did find was that if I had to quit the game mid mission then I would have to start from the beginning of that level when I returned; despite having passed numerous checkpoints I still had to begin from the start even if I was within footsteps of the finish.… Expand

   Trine is a fun game, although I believe that it might have been a bit overpriced. Its gameplay is pretty good and I didn't even notice Trine is a fun game, although I believe that it might have been a bit overpriced. Its gameplay is pretty good and I didn't even notice the issues Koos King is complaining about. The animation is very good and a lot of the action has a tangible quality to it. I never had any problem with precision jumping. In fact, Zoya the thief is very capable at jumping from one tiny ledge to another. I've almost never been smacked around by heavy boxes, and the few times it happened it was actually quite hilarious and completely my own plan backfiring on me. It's true that the game is a bit of a one trick pony, though. This isn't Braid, but the game still manages to be very fun, especially in coop mode. (You'll need to go to the controller configuration to assign multiple gamepads.) The levels are gorgeous, although the voice acting ranges from mediocre to bad. In response to Koos King again, the resolutions the game offers are plenty.… Expand

   A bunch of interesting characters, lots of interesting but fiddly puzzles. Not my cup of tea.

   C’est un petit jeu indépendant et forcément, c’est donc… une misérable connerie de « jeu » de plateformes… en deux dés et demi ou 3d limitée,C’est un petit jeu indépendant et forcément, c’est donc… une misérable connerie de « jeu » de plateformes… en deux dés et demi ou 3d limitée, sans bouger ou alors sur un seul plan seulement. Mais je me comprends et c’est le principal, ma foi. Et donc, on saute et on tape et… tout ça. Et on saute et on active des trucs et on ramasse des merdes. Et tout ça.
   
   Mais trois personnages sont jouables, autant d’archétypes de la fantasy usés jusqu’à la corde et par ailleurs, des petites énigmes à la con sont proposées ou plutôt imposées pour con-tinuer dans les niveaux gnangnans à la con. Mais franchement, au bout de 5 à 10 mn, on s’emmerde déjà. Et pas qu’un peu.
   
   Les graphismes simplets sont en 256 couleurs, la musique d’ascenseur est (dé)composée sur un Bontempi (elle file la migraine, je dois dire) et la voix off qui commente les actions des persos et conte l’espèce d’histoire (ololol une « histoire » dans un étron de ce genre, hèmdéhère ta mère !) donne mal à la tête.
   
   A noter que sur PC, la manette 360 est supportée et que cet étron indé ne prend que peu de place. Et qu’il se désinstalle très proprement sans laisser de traces sur son passage : ça tombe bien, je voulais qu’il disparaisse au plus vite de mon disque dur !… Expand
