    Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power leaves a strange feeling after playing it, since although it is a good game and at the audiovisual level it is still very beautiful, the fact of being easy, short and moving from 2D to 3D is not very positive. It is a shame because it could have been excellent.

    Sadly, it’s not enough to just look good, and Trine 3 is lacking in several key areas, but it’s still a decent enough romp despite this. It’s hardly the definitive edition, or the definitive game in the series, but if you missed it and you’re gearing up for the release of 4, it’s worth checking out.

    Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power has headed into a 3D direction and while the audiovisual qualities of the series remain top notch, the new world in which the game is set does not feel entirely right and the experience ends up getting harmed as a consequence. There is no doubt that the series' co-op component is still one of its main assets but bringing Trine 3 into a 3D world raises questions that don't always get the best answers.

    Trine 3: Artifacts of Power is by no means a bad game. It’s visuals are exemplary, the characters charming and delightful, and the overall tone of the game is very well suited to the Switch. Unfortunately, in transitioning over to fully 3D environments, the poor depth perception and limited sense of progression really hurts the experience. If you enjoy collecting items, there’s just about enough here to warrant a purchase, but everyone else would be wise to hold off until the upcoming Trine 4.

The gameplay is terrible, the third Person perspective is not the right choice for this game , the graphics is good but the image is too dark and has too much contrast that ruined the beauty of the game . Overall Trine 3 is bad . One advise skip this version and buy only trine 1,2 and 4 because these are great games and deserve total respect for this franchise .… Full Review »

    3D brings nothing to the game but frustration. The new checkpoint and respawn systems make no sense and do nothing for the game. only get it in a pack with all 4 on sale otherwise avoid.    … Full Review »

Graphics look very nice on the Switch and it ran good even with a few things going on at one time. I dont understand why others gave it such a low score. It is a well done game with lots to see.… Full Review »
