Jan. 2025

If this game wasn't called Trine, it would have much higher ratings. It's a departure from the first two and ends unexpectedly (probably due to being too ambitious), but it's extremely well done and deserves more love.

Dec. 2024

This doesn't feel as fun compared to Trine 1 or 2, sure the world looks much more beautiful and polished but everything about the gameplay (combat + puzzles) just lacks the thrill I felt playing the first 2 games. Despite that, I'd still recommend because it dives deeper into the origins of Trine and its world Good: - I enjoy more Trine world building - Really appreciate how the devs have improved on their UI - very little tedious menus and displays compared to previous games - sadly, the only improvement Bad: - Combat and exploration has no consequences - simply a minor inconvenience to revive a character - No more secret and hard-to-find collectibles

Nov. 2024

This third outing into the Trine universe is the first to take us into the third dimension. Our three heroes seem to have had their abilities pared back quite a bit from previous adventures and the use of this new engine should have opened up new possibilities in terms of the puzzles but it doesn’t seem to push any boundaries. There are some nice touches and interesting ideas, the levels in the book in particular were beautifully made, but just as thing start to get interesting, it’s all over. Everything seemed to be made with the same love and care as the previous games but unfortunately due to funding, this one ended up unfinished with two more parts needed to complete the story that was planned out. Hopefully one day the devs can pick up on where this one left off, in the mean time I’m glad we still got Trine 4 & 5.

Knowing this game was the most poorly received in the series, my friends and I were prepared for a terrible game, and were pleasantly surprised to find the game was actually quite fun. I do agree that this is probably the worst game out of the first three, and it is quite different from the first two, but there's a lot to like here. I felt like the story was actually the best in the series so far, aside from one major caveat. It felt a bit more interesting and unpredictable than previous entries in the series, so it was quite disappointing when we reached the end of the game and it abruptly ended. It definitely felt like they planned for more story when designing this game and ended up cutting it short, which is a real shame, as it felt like it had a lot of potential. The gameplay is now in 3D instead of 2D, and the controls are quite a bit different, so it took a bit of getting used to. They also felt a bit awkward on controller, with some things (such as Zoya's bow) seemingly only partially working, but they worked much better on keyboard which I ended up using for most of the playthrough, and I'd recommend using if you end up getting this game. Although they were quite different, the mechanics and various puzzles and platforming challenges in this game were still quite fun. Unfortunately the game is a bit short as well, as we finished it in about a third of the time it took us to play through Trine and Trine 2. The art style in this game is a bit different as well, feeling a bit more cartoony than previous entries, but it still looks fantastic, and the game ran fairly well, although this game is definitely the most buggy in the series so far. The familiar physics jank is even worse than in the first two games, and my brother managed to horribly mangle multiple different puzzle sections with his wizard powers. We also encountered some issues with people not being able to move or respawn, items becoming uninteractable, and we also encountered one weird issue where the game didn't crash, but just went completely black, forcing us to restart it. TL;DR This game differs from it's predecessors quite a bit, so if you're expecting the same kind of game, you'll be disappointed. However, despite the game being fairly short and having a bit of an unsatisfying ending, the controls not working great on controller, and some unfortunate bugs, it still has a good story, fun mechanics and puzzles, and was lots of fun to play through. As such, I still think this game is worth picking up, especially if you get it on sale.

Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power is the third title from the beloved 2d puzzle-platformer this time with a twist. I absolutely loved the first games and i was a little afraid for the change and transition to 3D graphics. The innovation comes with costs and this transition is great for the visuals and bad for the gameplay in certain areas and segments of the game where the clumsy movements and bad camera angles were annoying. Trine 3 remains the same game at core with clever implemented puzzles and different ways to solve them due to the trinity of characters you can control ,each with his own mechanics and style of gameplay. The 3D approach doesn't take anything from the originality of the first two games ,it looks better in my opinion and it plays the same but it struggles to deliver a better overall experience. In terms of graphics Trine 3 shines like a diamond,there are so many beautiful environments and landscapes,with vibrant colors and beautiful scenery this was excellent. The game unfortunately is rather short but enough to keep you busy for 6-7 hours ,for such a small game is a decent playtime. In conclusion this is a must play for the fans of the platforming genre,despite its flaws Trine 3 is still a solid platformer which i strongly recommend! Pros: -good graphics -clever puzzles Cons: -clumsy movements -bad camera angles in certain areas My review score: Story -8 Gameplay-8 Graphics- 10 Sound - 9 Overall - 8.75
