While it's made by the same people who made Fran Bow it's not really a point and click adventure, it's basically a interactive story with little convensional gameplay. There are some choices that lead to some different outcomes and a bunch of hidden secrets, (that you should seek out to get the good ending). It's funny, cute, sad, creepy and weird, and at first the wildly different tones clash and are all over the place, but it works for the most part. You will probably finish it in 3-4 hours so it's not terribly long but well worth a playthrough.
Trine 3 was in my mind quite terrible, the 3D didn't work at all so it's good that Frozenbyte returned to the 2.5D from the first 2 games. It does however little to improve the first two games and in some cases it's a lot more limiting in puzzle design and how you solve your puzzles. Some might say it's more streamlined but the puzzles are fairly easy and you have less options than in the previous games and the combat outside of bosses are also pretty pointless and add very little since it lack all challenge. The bosses where quite neat even if the final boss was a letdown. That said, if you liked the first 2 games then it's more of that. The art style is a still beautifull, the music still great and overall it's more of the same. If you played the first 2 and want more of that pick this up, at least at a discount, if you havn't played the first two, start with them (especially the second one). If you played them and dind't like them why are you still reading this, it's obviously the series are not for you :) One final really anoying thing, that's not a major issue but still frustrating is that the experience chart for each checkpoint doesnt really work all the time, so it might look like you have collected all but 5 experience points in a level and in the level selection screen it say that the missing experience are in checkpoint 5, but they are in fact in checkpoint 4. Makes sweaping up the final missed experience points a chore since it makes them harder to find for the entirely wrong reason.
Darq was a nice little surprise, it builds the atmosphere very well with the sound design and art and there where a few really effective scares. The puzzles while not especially hard, where varied enough and every chapter had it's own unique themes and mechanics. Some migth say it's too short, but i would rather have a game be short and good rather than overstay it's wellcome. So many games
