If I had a complaint, it would be so gentle as to not really count, and it would be that it's that these guys don't get an entirely equal deal - though it's not far off. well, moving gradually to the right of the screen, and trying to collect glowy things en route so they can level up and improve their abilities. One's a wizard, who can levitate certain objects and summon crates and planks. One's a rogue, who can shoot arrows and use a retractable/extendable grappling hook on wooden surfaces. There are three guys, they once did a thing, now they're doing another thing, got it? One's a warrior, who can stab monsters and smash certain obstacles. You're controlling the same trio of characters as in the first Trine, though there is no need whatsoever to have played that to enjoy or understand this. What I can do is talk about some of the key concepts. What? No! I'm not going to breakdown any of the puzzles for you. Even when smacking goblins with a sword, the game seems cheerful to a fault. That's where that lovely colour and light really comes into play. The entire scene transforms from question to answer in a way that always makes perfect sense but seems no less magical for it. There's such an elegance in the way a solved puzzle plays out - this is a game that's rarely in a hurry, so the level's parts move slowly but surely into place, and a new path gently assembles itself before your eyes. It puts me in mind of the first Portal, the better of the two Portals at offering Eureka! moments you felt you'd devised yourself rather than being signposted to. There's always some extra object you can move, some element that can be fired through a portal to activate an effect on the other end, something else that can be swung from, or smashed, or wedged against a summoned object. Almost every screen, I go through the same spiral of emotion, presumption and surprise.ġ) Oh, this looks pretty much like the last room, I can breeze through in no time pretty much just by jumping to the right.ģ) Right, time to fiddle with summoning crates and planks to make stairs and platforms, and failing that firing grappling hooks at the ceiling.ĥ) There's no possible way to get over there, I'm giving up in a huff.Ħ) Hang on, what if. They're inspired, and they do so much with just a few simple concepts: primarily physics, water, air and fire. Trine 2's ability to bring about instant tranquility has been oft-documented on this blog, but for once I'm not talking about its pretty colours, dreamy music and general air of goodwill. I for one am glad of this flagrant rule-breaking, and have spent a while in its world of colour and physics. You cannot play the same character in the game play.ĭiscover the amazing fantastical world of Trine 2 as you go through the game’s adventures and puzzles.Frozenbyte's magicky puzzler Trine 2 materialised on the internet a couple of days ago, having apparently not received the message that the industry isn't allowed to release any videogames after the last week of November. The game also offers a three-player cooperative mode and each character must be unique. Although you will be controlling just one entity the three heroes inside will have different life meters, meaning if one of the characters’ health meters is empty, you can not use him/her in the game. The three characters are actually bounded into one entity thus you will only control one character but can switch through the three heroes bound inside the entity. The third is Pontius the knight, who is strong and can bash through walls, he can also use his shield to deflect projectiles and is much more effective in combat. ![]() Zoya the thief has the ability to grapple onto certain surfaces and strike objects with her arrows. Play as one of the three characters with very different skills: Amadeus the wizard, who uses magic that lets you grab certain objects and create boxes and planks this character will help you move around in the game world. This is a side-scrolling game with puzzles and platforming. Trine 2 is an action, adventure, indie video game developed and published by Frozenbyte. ![]()
