Trine 2 is a beautifully crafted game, regardless of the platform you play it on, with a great soundtrack and intricately detailed levels.The 3D effects, as tried out on a Sony Bravia 46″ 3D TV, add a great effect to the overall aspect of the game. Online co-op sets this game apart from the original, and definitely makes this game an upgrade. Battling goblins and various enemies can get a little repetitive, but that doesn’t take away from the overall fun the game offers. The RPG elements are thin, but do give the title a nice RPG feel to it. The puzzles can be quite intricate, but tend to be a little too easy once you start thinking using the collective mind of the three characters. Platforming, while not always perfect, is fun and entertaining. Trine 2 is hard to categorize as a single genre of game, and that adds to its overall appeal. Ari Pulkkinen, the man behind the music, has created a great collection of music for this game. The sound track is already available on iTunes and has some great scores. The rise and fall of the tempo matches the game play. The sounds of the game vary from very relaxing, to up-tempo depending on the level.
A few glitches here and there may force you to restart a checkpoint or two, but it’s not a game breaker to say the least. Some puzzles can be solved in different ways, and it is the level of detail that adds to this design. Puzzle and level design give you the sense that much thought was given to their creation. The level details and landscapes are crafted to make the game strikingly beautiful. A PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade release is coming soon.The graphics for the game are some of the best looking graphics for a downloadable title to date.
Trine 2 complete story review Pc#
Trine 2 is currently available for PC and Mac. Intelligent puzzle designs offer plenty of rewarding play and its breathtaking visuals make it a trophy game for anyone that owns a high-spec PC. While Trine 2 may falter with its enemy encounters, it certainly merits checking out. With healing stations only inches away, losing these fights is nearly impossible, leaving them to feel like filler. These forced battles are among the more tedious parts of the game. There are a few exceptions, such as a stage in which a giant ogre waits at the end with club in-hand. Again, brute force is not an option in many cases. Whatever the difficulty setting, expect to see plenty of large monsters, like fire-breathing snakes and giant spiders, as a number of the game's puzzles involve finding ways to defeat these creatures. I saw a noticeable difference between Easy and Medium difficulties and based on my experience would recommend easy as the way to go for anyone that would rather focus on the game's puzzles. This often felt like a disruption to flow of the game, but players are allowed to reduce the number of enemy encounters by adjusting the difficulty level. Enemies will pop in from both the background and the foreground at random points in-between the puzzling. There's still plenty of more traditional action. These sort of thoughtful puzzles throughout Trine 2 provide its most satisfying moments. After failing to jump over the slimy creature, I figured out that I could use one of Amadeus's powers to create a more appealing spot for mister snail, and lure him into the background, allowing me to proceed. For instance, early on my path was blocked by a giant snail enjoying a shower. Trine 2 stepped up by making me think for a solution as much as pull off some control combo.

Once I learned how to do all this, though, the game rewarded me with its more challenging puzzles. It took a little bit to get my fingers moving just right to swing through stages with Zoya's grappling hook, use Amadeus' magic to craft platforms and bring down nearby ledges, and hack through obstacles with Pontius' sword. Finicky keyboard controls made that a more difficult task than it needed to be at times.
Progressing often involved learning when to use each hero’s specific skill. Playing single-player, I controlled one hero at a time, with the ability to tag out to a different hero at any time.

And once again, they are reunited by the mysterious Trine. A direct sequel to the first game, the trio of playable characters, Amadeus the Wizard, Pontius the Knight, and Zoya the Thief (or "entrepreneur," as she calls herself), return in Trine 2. When I wasn’t marveling over Trine 2's graphics, I was learning how to use the three heroes. Every world I encountered was filled with rich color, vibrant backgrounds, and meticulously-detailed objects from one edge of the screen to the other. The level of graphical detail is astounding to see, whether in the forests, swamps, or caverns. Trine 2's twelve hour quest was likely lengthened by how often I got distracted by that beauty. Indie developer Frozenbyte has crafted one of the most beautiful 2D games I have ever seen.
