I would like to think that a Trine 3 is in the works, but even if it is, I’d be curious to see how it would attempt to overmatch the presentation quality of Trine 2. Having the insta-revive ability during a boss fight felt unbalanced, but combat isn’t what this game is about, even though there is a significant amount of it. These are generally conveniently placed next to very hazardous areas, including a boss fight with a huge goblin.

Fortunately, as long as one of the trio is alive, reviving the others to full health is just a matter of going back, or forwards, to a special marker (checkpoint). As you would expect, playing with friends or strangers can yield faster puzzle-solving results or at least some funny attempts at doing so. Sometimes the puzzles feel kind of arbitrary, especially those that involve near perfect timing or a perfect jump, and these become a chore rather than fun, but these are the exceptions, not the rule. Everything in Trine 2 has momentum, weight, and gravity, etc., and these mechanics are used nicely to create plenty of mostly interesting puzzles. Speaking of balance, solving the steady flow of environmental puzzles or getting to hidden areas usually requires good balance and a mild understanding of basic physics. As is the case with everything in Trine 2, the upgrades are best handled with a balanced approach. I didn’t find this necessary, but I could see where back-tracking to maybe take away Pontius’ ability to rush and ram things with his shield and shoulder in favor of giving Amadeus the skill to conjure a plank would be useful.
The good news is, should you decide to scrap your upgrades at a certain point, you can do so at anytime and reallocate. Upgrades are essential and most are interesting. Some upgrades require two or three skill points to unlock. For every fifty of these spheres you touch, and thus collect, you get a skill point to spend. She is by far the most useful character when it comes to snagging the numerous blue spheres scattered about and for finding hidden collectibles. With this, she’s able to scale up or down her rope, and swing, too. Switching between characters is a very regular function, although my ‘default’ character is Zoya due to her ability to attach a rope to many surfaces above you, including ones you can’t necessarily see. Players only see one character on screen at at time in single player mode, but can instantly switch by pressing L1 or R1. With support for drop in/out online and local co-op play, Trine 2 is best played with friends, but it’s still a highly addictive and fun game if played solo.

To what end they do not know, but they’ll have to rely on each other to fight off goblins, spiders, dragons, etc., survive numerous environmental traps and hazards, and figure out exactly how to navigate their way through forests, caverns, castles, and other visually-stunning areas. One night, the Trine, a mystical artifact beckons all three to come together again to take on an all new adventure. The story brings back the three heroes from the first game, including the timid but skilled wizard Amadeus, the hungry and brawler-like knight Pontius, and the slinky, agile thief named Zoya. While cool, I found it a little more intuitive and to-the-point to just use the thumbsticks for moving and rotating objects being levitated by Amadeus.Ĭontent and gameplay-wise, Trine 2 Complete Story is precisely the same as found currently on Steam and on Wii U. The touch controls are used, optionally, with Amadeus the wizard, for moving objects around.

If you press the button, the upgrade screen comes up. Also of note, the DS4’s touchpad, both the touch functionality as well as the button itself, are used.
#TRINE 2 COMPLETE STORY REVIEW 1080P#
Given how vividly incredible the graphics are already - 1080p in 60fps for the first time on a console too by the way - I can only anticipate the 3D effect would be quite special. Goblin Menace, while originally an expansion pack, is integrated seamlessly here, meaning that your purchased upgrades from the main story will transition over.ģD Stereoscopic video is supported to, although I’m kicking myself for not being able to test this as I loaned my Sony 24″ 3D screen to a friend I won’t be seeing until after Thanksgiving. Contents include of course Trine 2, the Goblin Menace expansion, and the Dwarven Caverns additional playable level, only unlockable by finding ten hidden pieces of a map scattered about the Goblin Menace levels.
#TRINE 2 COMPLETE STORY REVIEW PS4#
To be sure, the PS4 release is indeed the most complete and feature rich. This actually makes the third time that Digital Chumps has reviewed this game, first with Eric’s review about two years ago, then my take on the Wii U version almost a one year ago.
