    Trine 2 is a puzzle platformer and suited for those who like to relax their mind while playing a game. In Trine 2, you get to play with a warrior, archer and wizard with the ability to instantly switch among those classes. Warrior’s main use is to kill enemies, archer can swing from platforms that are otherwise very hard to reach , whereas the wizard conjures boxes and manipulates objects.Trine 2 is a puzzle platformer and suited for those who like to relax their mind while playing a game. In Trine 2, you get to play with a warrior, archer and wizard with the ability to instantly switch among those classes. Warrior’s main use is to kill enemies, archer can swing from platforms that are otherwise very hard to reach , whereas the wizard conjures boxes and manipulates objects. The secondary goal (other than beating the mission) is to collect experience orbs which you can later use to distribute skill points to your characters.

    The main selling point of Trine 2 is its astonishing graphics. The game is so good looking that you can basically take a random screenshot and use as wallpaper. Combined with the relaxing soundtrack and rather slow -think before you act- gameplay Trine 2 really calms you down every time you play it. Also, to get the most enjoyment out of it, you should play it coop online. Most missions show that the game was designed with coop play in mind.

    However, the game is not without drawbacks. Action is very shallow and you can kill most enemies by basic swings of sword. Also, the game is way too easy. I have played it in hard mode, yet did not come across any puzzles that took anytime to figure it out. With the added element of instant resurrection when you die and the ability of overcoming most puzzles with the alternative method of making box towers, the game offers almost zero challenge. Other problems include bad storytelling (I have read everything and don’t really remember anything about the story) and some disconnection issues when playing online coop.

    Finally, it was a bit of a surprise that despite being a side scroller puzzle platformer, Trine 2 is played best when played with a mouse + keyboard rather than a controller since aiming with the bow and creating boxes with the cursor are elements very often used during gameplay.

    To sum up, Trine 2 is enjoyable while it lasts and beautiful to look at. But dull action mechanics and extremely easy gameplay might frustrate more experienced gamers.

    PS: Play it coop, hard difficulty and with a keyboard. Goblin Menace DLC is slightly better than the main campaign (with a final boss which became my favorite Trine 2 mission), but the Dwarven Caverns DLC lacks in comparison.    … Expand

    TRINE 2 je luxusní dobrodružství které si každý z nás musí užít. Jde tady o dokonalé spojení logiky, skákání a fantasie která nás zavede do světa divů čar a monster. Sám jsem si to neuvěřitelně užil a věřím že další pokračování bude ještě lepší

Trine 2 is a puzzle-platform game, requiring the player to use the skills of the three characters, Amadeus the wizard, Zoya the thief, and Pontius the knight, to navigate each game level. As with the first game, the mystical "Trine" has bound the three characters together into one common entity, and thus the player controls only one character which can be switched to the other two at any time. Each of the characters has unique abilities: Amadeus can use magic to grab onto certain objects in the game world, and create boxes and planks to be used to get around; Zoya can strike at objects with her arrows, and grapple onto certain surfaces; and Pontius is strong in combat against foes, can bash apart walls, and deflect projectiles with his shield. A combination of these elements is necessary to complete each stage in the game's world.… Expand

    Trine 2 blends elements of puzzle platforming with such finesse that there is no wonder why the series has so many entries to its name.

Switching between the Wizard, Thief and Warrior each with their own diverse set of skills and abilities makes tackling each puzzle fresh. While it does seem like playing co-op would be the most fun, each puzzle usually has multiple solutions so even playing solo there is a sense of accomplishment to piecing together how to proceed. Levels move forward with good momentum and rarely overstay their welcome. The primary complaint for this reviewer is related to the leveling system. Later levels clearly favor or require some skills to be leveled but what would be most helpful is not always clear; further, some skills are not well explained within the skills tree only revealing their full potential after being purchased. While this is not the end of the world, it does mean that a careful and methodical approach to each level is best to ensure enough potions (experience) are found to dump into multiple skills. The story is nothing to write home about but ultimately the joy of the game comes from swinging through the world, bashing the teeth out of goblins and levitating boulders into faces. If you are craving a platforming romp and have some friends to take along for the ride, we can recommend this diversion!… Expand

    what a beautiful game! the colors are very vivid the biomes especially the forest are eye-popping, not to mention the water which is one of the most beautiful elements in the game! the gameplay/combat is also cool.

    I give an 9 because the game has a lot of puzzles and I hate puzzles

    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.
