Rich colours combine to present a pallet that’s almost mouth-watering, and the PS4 version is, frankly, gorgeous. There’s also an unlockable 20th level in the Dwarven Caverns – if you can meet the criteria, of course.Īnyone who has played Trine 2 in its previous incarnations will know that it’s an absolutely beautiful game. The best thing about this is that your character progression carries over, creating a much more cohesive and considerably longer experience. Trine 2: Complete Story also comes with the 6 extra levels of the Goblin Menace, though they’ve now been streamlined into one 19-level game rather than a pair of separate entities. The very inclusion of a tougher mode for those who complained about the lack of challenge is a solid bonus. Less checkpoints mean you’ll often find yourself suffering due to imprecise jumping rather than an actual mistake on your part – but Frozenbyte could probably tweak it forever and still struggle to appease everyone. The characters all have a floaty-ness to their movements that may well add to the fairytale whimsy of it all, but can make jumping between ledges and across moving platforms quite tricky.

Sadly, this leads to problems of its own, mostly because the platforming isn’t great. This mode ramps up the difficulty considerably, removing a good portion of checkpoints and ensuring that a character’s death is far more consequential. To counterbalance this, Complete Story adds a Hardcore Mode to the main menu. Unfortunately, the same system makes combat far too easy and removes the peril from a lot of the traps you come across. Lenient check-pointing means you’ll rarely get a Game Over for failing puzzles, even if you’re constantly falling into pits full of spikes. Puzzles might be as simple as pulling the right lever, or as complex as positioning magical blocks to hold up bridges or reconnecting broken sections of piping using Amadeus’ telekinesis. The magic of the Trine turns the three into a kind of gestalt entity, allowing you to switch between them with the push of a button.īy combining their abilities, you’ll overcome the majority of puzzles without too much head-scratching, although Trine 2 does occasionally hurl a beastly challenge at you. Amadeus can levitate objects and (later) enemies, or conjure magical blocks out of thin air and manipulate distant levers and then there’s Zoya, who can use her bow to deal damage from afar, use her grappling hook to swing from certain outcrops or render herself invisible. Pontius is the melee guy, equipped with a hefty sword and a shield you can angle to deflect attacks, and able to switch to a two-handed hammer in order to smash down certain boundaries. So the trio of world-weary heroes head off into the Enchanted Forest, each equipped with specific skills and equipment to overcome any obstacle. The problem stems from a couple of magical sisters whose sibling feud is causing an imbalance in the Forest, producing enlarged wildlife (giant snakes and cottage-sized snails feature, among other things) and stirring up the resident goblin population. The story follows Amadeus the Wizard, Pontius the Knight and Zoya the Thief, a triumvirate of legendary heroes summoned by the mysterious Trine to eradicate a growing evil leaking its dark influence across the world from deep within the Enchanted Forest. Nothing else has an art style like Trine 2, and few games reward co-op experimentation quite so well, either. Nothing has changed to dampen that quality in any way over the past year, and it remains as beautiful and as playable as ever. Trine 2 is an excellent game, let’s get that out of the way immediately. Here we are, 12 months on, at the launch of another major console and Frozenbyte’s exceptional fantasy adventure, like a reliable, dutiful hound, is back in our lives again, wagging its tail and panting for our affection. The 'Alluring Adventure' Gameplay Trailer will give fans a glimpse of the gorgeous environment and clever physics-based gameplay they can expect when they play as the powerful knight, the swift rogue and the crafty wizard.It’s exactly a whole year ago to the day that I reviewed Trine 2: Director’s Cut for the Wii U and found it to be absolutely brilliant. The publisher also announced that the game's release date has been moved to late Summer 2011.

Atlus have launched a new gameplay trailer for Trine 2, a high-fantasy, physics-based action platformer with cooperative online multiplayer, for PlayStation 3, Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360, and PC.
