I guess I did things backwards. I played the Wii U Trine 2 Director's Cut first after I got it cheap during an eShop sale then once I finished it and went through T2 withdrawal I bought Trine for the PC. There isn't much difference between the two although T2 has nicer graphics but not that much better. I found I was playing Trine (1 and 2) far more than games I paid $40-$60 for. The graphics are pretty and the music is relaxing. It's not a hack & slash game which are sometimes the types of games I like (such as Ninja Gaiden) but it is still a bit challenging trying to figure out how to get from point A to point B without dying but not overly difficult. There are some points where you need to kill some baddies and pick the right character from the 3 available along with the right weapons/defenses. It's not hard but its fun and one of those games you can loose yourself in for a few hours and chill out without stressing over how hard it is. At some points you need to stop and think about how you're going to cross a gap or something like that and there are multiple ways to do that. It's always interesting when you finish a level to go on YouTube and see how someone else did it differently than how you did. The game does have some replay value. As you go through some levels you may pass sections of the game where you are too far to get back to them so replaying the game once just to get to the missed sections is fun. I'd say after that you're pretty much done with the game. As far as DRM is concerned I didn't have any issue with that when I bought it and downloaded it from Amazon. I was able to backup the downloaded files and install them on a new PC when I replaced the old one without any issue. I didn't need the Amazon downloader or anything else it just worked. I strongly dislike any kind of DRM and would be the first to complain about it if it were an issue. If you buy, download, or install the game in a different way your experience may vary.
I picked this up on a whim when it came on sale and gotta say was fairly impressed. Graphics are stunning and gameplay is simple yet challangeing. My girlfriend and I have spent hours working on getting to the end of this game.
My only quirk is that the camera handling for the game during multiplyer is actually very poor. The zoom out for the camera for your coop buddies is vertually nonexistent. If you're player 1 it'll keep you in it's sights all the time fine, but anyone else can jump out of the cameras line of sight so easily it gets very hard to do some of the teamwork where room is actually needed.
BIG IMPORTANT NOTE!!!! Buy 1 copy and 1 only. Multiplyer is handled localy on 1 machine and does not connect to a network at all (LAN included). We made this mistake and ended up paying for this game twice for nothing. You also need either multiple mouse + keyboards or game controllers.
I've played this game as a trial version on Wild Tangent games before. I loved it. I found it here for a $4.99 download. Downloading the full version from Wild Tangent was $9.99. I thought I was getting a great deal. It downloaded relatively quickly - 15 or so minutes. But within the first 5 minutes of playing is when the glitchiness began. It freezes and replays blips of music 3 times like a scratched CD. It takes it anywhere from 1-5 minutes to get back to normal playing speed. Only to happen three minutes later. I don't know where Southpeak got their version of the download but it's absolutely terrible. You get what you pay for I guess is how the saying goes.
Very puzzle focused game with some action thrown in. Felt like a more modern version of Three Vikings. Puzzle variety and platforming got old and repetitive quite quickly. After facing exactly the same enemies and same types of puzzles level after level, didn't really feel like continuing (but I did). Boss fights were fairly straight-forward and didn't really offer any interesting challenges or strategies (shoot/hack, jump over or under, turn around, repeat until dead).
Ending felt unrewarding. Story/plot were weak at best.
I must say I went into this with a preconceived notion that it was "Amazing!" Everyone swore this was an amazing game and that it's sequel would be even better. Well I'm glad to say that I wasn't disappointed. While it plays just fine singleplayer, it lays the ground work for a great 3 player co-op game unfortunately the first one doesn't support that feature without modding. You can use 3 separate keyboards hooked up to the same computer, but even that can run into problems. The 3 very different classes play well off each other with their different skill sets. I found my fingers occasionally getting confused and hitting the wrong button switching to the wrong character at the wrong time, but that is my own personal mishap. All in all a great game. I'm just disappointed it wasn't available on the Xbox Live Arcade.
Trine is a very unique and excellent fantasy platforming game where you control three different characters with different abilities which you use to solve a variety of well designed puzzles in very intricate levels. The art in the game is beautiful, the story isn't anything ground breaking but it doesn't need to be. The mechanics and game play will keep you coming back for more. I only have two problems with this game.
1.) I always had to turn my Xbox controller back on in options before I started playing which isn't a big deal. 2.) I feel like the last screen in the game is pretty difficult, like the difficulty curve goes way up for this last scene. I beat it, but with lots of do overs and swearing.
If I had to give it a rating I would give it an 8.5/10 would have been 10/10 if not for issues above. Highly recommended!
