Anyone who picked up the original Trine knows what a great game it was, and how refreshing it was to see something new and creative. Frozenbyte is now working on the sequel which looks to be just as good if not better. Anyone who hasn't played Trine should go and pick it up from Steam immediately!

Especially considering you can usually get it for $5 during a Steam sale. But that might be awhile. As long as it's $10 or less, you're easily getting your money's worth. A great puzzle platformer with amazing art work and attention to detail. The environments really pop off the screen when you have full graphics going (which isn't exactly pushing it for hardware requirements).

I just started it, and while I've liked it so far I wouldn't call it new. The idea is very similar to Lost Vikings, an old Blizzard game on SNES. 3 charcters have 3 different abilities and you have to swap between them all to solve puzzles and get things. Definitely different from the usual offerings and enough twist to feel refreshing, just the idea behind it isn't original. It's not a knock on the game at all, that's just how it is.

TLV was quite a lot different, considering that all three characters were constantly active and their abilities had to be used simultaneously to get past a large variety of puzzles. Would have been an ideal co-op type game these days.

But I agree. Trine delivered very little new content to an existing genre but provided us with a graphical update with some interesting physics model tacked on. A modern take on TLV, perhaps.

I loved Trine; it's one of the few recent games that I enjoyed every moment of.

I hope that Trine 2 delivers a longer story with more variety and even more puzzles. If it does, I'd gladly pay $20 for it.

I'll agree it's some what similar, but it's different enough to call original. Besides TLV was 19 years ago LOL. How many Modern War games have we seen over the last few years? I think this type of game has a long way to go before it reaches market saturation.

Oh and I loved TLV. If they we're to make another sequel, or even an HD remake of the originals I would be all over it.
