Puzzle platforming returned, along with the skill tree with several new skills to learn that constantly made the game exciting to play. This absolute marvel of a game built on every concept Trine 2 had set up and drove it home masterfully. 2.0/10 Trine 4 The Nightmare Prince: After the great fall that was Trine 3, Trine 4 became the greatest of comebacks.
When all was said and done, there was little enjoyment to take away at all, making it easily one of the worst games I've ever played. Most of the time the difficulty seemed to come from just trying to make the game work, as several bugs made the already bad experience even worse. Mandatory side quests patted out what little content the game had, and overall it was simply not fun to play. Skill trees were removed, and all the character actions were over simplified. This lead to some neat cutscenes and a story that could have been interesting, but their budget ran out a third into the game leaving the game only 3 hours long and the story unfinished. Trine 3 was too ambitious of a project, ditching the side-scrolling puzzle platforming in favor of a third person action experience. 8.5/10 Trine 3 The Artifacts of Power: Just as great franchises have great highs, they must also have great lows. This game truly brought Trine into the light, and is a fantastic game to play with friends. The visuals became a lot nicer, the gameplay much smoother, and the difficulty shifted from gameplay into more intricate puzzles.
The humor was increased and the characters felt more personable, and really brought the whole experience to life. Picking up shortly after where the last game left off, this game decided to go for a story and even introduce light cutscenes into the experience as well. 7.5/10 Trine 2 Complete Story: Now this is the game that felt like the "true start" of the franchise. You can also clear the game in 4 hours, so if you want to start at the beginning it could be best to wait for a sale.
A straightforward puzzle platformer with minimal story but a constant state of "It doesn't matter how you get past the puzzles, so long as you do." The difficulty is reasonable, but certainly still there, and can lead to a few frustrating deaths. Honestly I think it's held up well over the test of time. Here are my thoughts on each one, then my overall thoughts as a collection: Trine Enchanted Edition: The remastered version of the game that started it all. Having never played any of these games before, I asked for this as a gift, and in a month played through all 4. Having never played any of Trine Ultimate Collection is a compilation of a decade's worth of iconic games meant for a fun time with friends.
