    An endearing, charming, fun and very pretty co-op platformer with puzzles. A great one to play with friends - made even easier thanks to couch co-op for up to 3 people.

    Played with 2 friends. The game has amazing graphics, smooth controls, pretty magical immersion. The problem is that it felt more like reading a novel than playing a game.
    The puzzles are too easy/predictable and the encounters are just boring.
    A total hit on the atmosphere part, but a big miss on the actual gameplay/fun. My advice is to buy Trine 2 only if on sale, and if you have a

    My advice is to buy Trine 2 only if on sale, and if you have a couple of friends willing to share this experience with you.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphics are very good, yet my GF and I didn't like it very much, every lvl after like hushing grove had some terrible desing made us reconsider playing the next chapters. Chapters such as belly of the beast or cloudy isles were made specially to make life harder and **** players. We didn't even bother collecting all the exp bottles because only a masochist would give a damn about them, when a level itself is too idiotic. In most of cases i can create 4 blocks and get anywhere. In terms of DLC you need to pick up all the collectible poems and paintings to unlock the last chapter but it wasn't even that worth it. Good thing you can pirate stuff so I didn't waste money. Expand

    High fidelity graphics, mediochre folk music. Diverse gameplay, puzzle game.

    Unfortunately the game is fairly easy and predictable. More time baking the puzzles less time on graphics would have made this game quite a bit sweeter. this is after all a descendant of Lost Vikings from the SNES, while there is more diversity of play it doesn't make it more interesting or imaginative.

    I think ultimately less WoW and more Lost Vikings would have been advisable.

    AMAZING Graphics and 3D texture for a side-scroller. The characters dont have a huge amount of depth in skills, but you control 3 very different heroes with very different skills. This game plays more like an interactive story. 2 thumbs up!

    Boring. 3 character just make this game complex. not depth. I had a hard time controlling the characters and getting used to them, so I gave up. The puzzles weren't that hard, and not feeling in control of the characters made me give up I may give it a shot later.

    Nothing new. If you've played Trine, you've played Trine 2. Glossy and shiny, but with the same unruly controls and similar puzzles. And you still don't see enough of your surroundings.

    Our heroes from the Trine universe are back at it again, whether they want to be or not.

    The short duration of the adventure is balanced by the constant number of puzzles and the fact that they had to be designed for solo and co-op play. But the first time you fire up Trine 2, the best way to do it is with patience and taking time to contemplate the scenery.

    Solid puzzling, decent combat and gorgeous art - all for cheap! [March 2012, p.60]
