All three characters handle more or less the same as they did before, and you still have access to a talent tree that provides them pretty much the same abilities, with a few minor additions.

The side-scrolling puzzle mechanics in Trine 2 are taken directly from the original, meaning everything still hinges on the three-way split between the knight, wizard, and thief characters who are linked together by the mystical soul-binding artifact called the Trine. But then, Trine was already so good that it's hard to argue with more of the same great game, right? Everything about the game is better in only an incremental way, leading to the occasional feeling of excessive familiarity. With more involved puzzle mechanics and even lusher visuals-which is really saying something, considering that first game was quite a looker itself- Trine 2 feels like a genuine step up from its impressive predecessor.

That unique blend of physics-based puzzle-solving is back in full force.Įverything you loved about Frozenbyte's beautiful 2009 puzzle-platformer Trine is present, and in most cases improved, in the new sequel out now for PC, Xbox Live Arcade, and PlayStation Network.
