    Solving puzzles together. Learning new skills. A little bit of fighting. We were big fans of the first two "Trine" games. Until the creators missed the mark with the third game. But with "Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy," the mistakes of the past have been forgiven.

    It's a new Trine, and there's a lot of it. It offers exactly what old fans of the series have come to expect and has all the makings of introducing new fans to the adventures of Amadeus, Zoya and Pontius.

    For those looking for a fun and charming puzzle platformer to play, especially with friends, Trine 5 is the perfect choice. Each hero is distinct and lovable in their own ways, the story is fun and engaging, and the puzzles are intuitive and simple, if not lacking in creativity towards the end. In a series full of positively received games and support from players that have stuck with it for years, this is yet another great entry that's sure to leave players with a smile on their face.

    Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy is a welcome addition to the series. While it doesn’t add or change much when it comes to gameplay mechanics, it’s still enjoyable and challenging enough to be worth a look from anyone who likes an old-fashioned fairytale adventure with a twist.

    Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy is a decent culmination of the series. The game offers plenty of mind-bending puzzles and still respects its platforming roots. While the combat still feels somewhat clunky, the game's visuals and puzzle difficulty more than makeup for it. The game is much more enjoyable with friends as they can solve puzzles more inventively.

    Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy is another attempt to repeat the original without developing ideas. The game is literally stuck in outdated mechanics.

They're probably all tooMore evidence that "professional" critic reviewers are an absolute joke. This game should not be getting just 7's. They're probably all too stupid to figure out the puzzles. Sure, Trine 5 doesn't do anything especially extraordinary, but it provides more of what makes the Trine series enjoyable and innovates with more interesting abilities to use. I only play solo and enjoy it, but I imagine it would also be great to play coop with another person or two. Expand
