    Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is a masterclass in 2D puzzle platforming. From its beautifully fantastical world to its mind-bending scenarios, you're bound to love every minute of this lighthearted adventure.

    Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is the long-awaited return of Zoya, Amadeus and Pontius. Puzzles, combats, platforms, magic stages in 2.5D and multiplayer mode will keep newcomers and veterans glued to the controller from beginning to end. Frozenbyte proves again their ability to create a new medieval fantasy adventure and we don’t want to see “The End”.

    Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is a sequel that plays it very safe – which, in this particular case, is for the better. Coming back to the traditional style of co-op gameplay and puzzle solving that made the first two games so delightful is exactly the kind of refocusing that the Trine series needed after the misfire of Trine 3. Some lackluster puzzle designs, technical issues, and a lack of difficulty stand in the way of it overtaking Trine 2 as the best of the series, but Trine 4 still remains a shining example of how cooperative gaming should be, and is one of the most gorgeous looking 2.5D games of 2019.

    Trine 4 brings back the good, old magic of the first two chapters andadds to the potion some minor but highly effective new gameplay mechanics.

    In returning to form with this sequel, Frozenbyte has doubled down on what made the franchise great prior to the mishap that was the third entry.

    A good return that fulfills what it promises, although it lacks some more strength in history and some difficulty that makes it more striking for a single player.

    Why change a winning team? Well, for starters: to avoid the feeling of a franchise playing it safe and resting on its laurels. In fact, Trine 4 often feels more like an expansion than a new game, which is never a good thing. Granted, co-op is a lot of fun, though even here you'll need to overlook the game's repetitive nature.

Every setThis game reverses all the previous mistakes in trine 3 and doubles down on all the mechanics that made the first 2 games fantastic. Every set of stages adds new abilities and puzzles to tackle. The graphics are very impressive and the coop gets an entirely separate set of puzzles than single player. All in all this has become my favorite game of the series.… Expand

    Trine 4 reverts the aspects that did not work well on the last one, basically the 3D and the duration and offers a really enjoyable 2D game full with incredibly charming landscapes and puzzles while keeping the coach potato coop mode, that personally it's what I most like about the franchise.
    The only negative aspects that I found was the combat, in which the wizard is almost useless, the story (too much pursuing of the prince) and some abilities like the bouncing ball that I found no use for them.
    Nevertheless it's an awesome game and I just hope there will be many more.    … Expand

In addition, some scenes impressed me, which I found more beautiful than trine123, and the characters, jokes and stories were lovely. The downside of the game is that there are still too few bosses and battles are not fun. It's always a little flawed, but I love the series, and I love trine4's art and story style, and it makes me feel warm. It's also fun to play with friends online. I expect the series to go on and on.

    In addition, I know that making the game too difficult may affect sales. However, keeping it simple also made me think it wasn't fun enough to repeat.
    Anyway, I look forward to Frozenbyte making a better trine in the future.    … Expand

It looks wonderful and has a beautiful soundtrack. Most enjoyably, many of the puzzles have multiple solutions. While it never had me in love with it, its a pretty dang good puzzle platformer. 80/100… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Великолепная игра головоломка! 8 из 10 только из-за того, что один из уровней забагован (в нём одна локация непроходима и проходится только после перезапуска уровня, т.к. там появляются недостающие предметы или что-то меняется в локации, не помню уже)… Expand
