Trine Enchanted Edition

This game has a fascinating concept; you can switch between playable characters whenever you want, there are lots of neat ideas for puzzle gameplay, and there's combat, and a freakin' grappling hook. What more could you want? In practice, however, this game is clunky and difficult to play due to poor controls, bad depth-of-field, and an atrociously bad co-op mode. I've played through most of the game multiple times on multiple platforms in hopes that I was just missing..something, but the truth is that controlling your character is, while obviously possible, is awkward and inefficient. It's nearly impossible to stop on a dime, the gravity feels unnatural for no given reason, sometimes the controller is just mapped wrong (and modding controller scheme is only partially supported, and then not well). While you're struggling to get comfortable with your character(s), you also have the unfortunate problem that the gameworld is cluttered. It's beautiful to look at, but playing in it is a mess. You can't tell whether a fallen tree is just there for parallax decoration, or whether it's blocking your path; there's no depth perception at all. Sometimes there will be ditches or pits that you fall into because you couldn't see the pit in the first place. Fair enough, I guess, but then you spend 10 minutes trying to get out of the pit, but you can't figure out what object around you is "in front" of your character, "behind", or on the same plane. It's all trial-and-error, like a bad point-and-click adventure game, except instead of constant clicking for clues, you're clicking around just to figure out which way you can move. I've tried Trine 2 and found it just as useless. I stopped trying by the time Trine 3 came out.

I bought this game on the cheapest GOG deals with no big expectations and tried it out because it looked very beautiful. I got stuck immediately and the music + graphics + gameplay + physics is just stunning and fun. First I thought Lost Vikings, but then I changed my mind to Castlevania and then Avatar and also a little bit of Bionic Commando. It's a combination of all of them and it's totally awesome. One of the better games I've tried the last years. Deadly recommended!

Was suprised how good it looks. The game is graphically great. The puzzles and platforming are at a good level for a relaxing and fun time. You can adjust the difficulty as you fit even during gameplay if you find it to be either to hard or to easy. You can either play it solo or play with somebody else. There are 3 different characters/classes and they have all their own strenghts. Can easily recommend it if you want a beautiful and fun little platformer with puzzles.

I will be the first to admit I have been one of those people complaining about the mass influx of puzzle platformers. I even thought up an acronym: YAPP (Yet Another Puzzle Platformer) and have been downright avoiding them. I only bought Trine because it was on sale...and I'm glad I did. Trine is one of my favorite games. It's not a "kiddy" game. It's not exactly a "retro" game. The puzzles are challenging, but also fun and satisfying. Knowing which of the three characters to use for each part is half the fun. The graphics are 3D and highly detailed, and when you change characters, the perspective even changes slightly. The keys are well mapped and the controls are intuitive. Despite the highly detailed graphics, the game brings back memories of Apple II/C64 platformers like Crisis Mountain and Dino Eggs, with a little Miner 2049er thrown in. It also brings in many modern twists such as realistic world physics, and knowledge of these physics will greatly help you solve the puzzles. Even the magic relies on realistic physics, and it's not just zapping fireballs everywhere. If you love platformers, buy this game and experience it. If you are sick of puzzle platformers, buy this game anyway and see just how a game can be great and a modern classic even if it's from an oversaturated genre. There are many YAPPS out there. Trine isn't one of them.

Great developer, great game, great support. italiano Siccome avevo acquistato il gioco dal mac app store e li l'ee non c'è me lo hanno regalato qui. Hanno fatto un anno fa la stessa cosa con trine 2 visto che sul mac app store c'è un bug che non permette l'acquisto in app, quella volta avevano solo una chiave steam quindi non mi hanno potuto dare una chiave gog ma visto il regalo sono stato felice comunque. Non c'entra con il gioco ma sono convinto che il supporto che danno gli sviluppatori di questo gioco meriti una menzione particolare nel feedback Il supporto multi-piattaforma è arrivato molto presto... non ci sono spesso sviluppatori così attenti anche al mondo mac e linux. Il gioco è geniale e il nuovo engine si sente. Che altro dire se non che è un must buy per tutti. English Since I bought the game from the Mac app store, and the ee there there is no, they gave to me here. They did a year ago the same thing with Trine 2 because the mac app store there is a bug that does not allow the purchase in the app, that time had only one key steam so they couldn't give a key gog but given the gift I was happy anyway. It has nothing to do with the game but I am convinced that the support they give the developers of this game deserve a special mention in the feedback The multi-platform arrived very early ... there are no often developers so attentive to the world mac and linux. The game is brilliant, and the new engine feels. What else to say except that it is a must buy for all.
