For example, you could use Pontius to shield you while you move boxes around, or have Amadeus levitate the box you are standing on to another platform. Planning methods to solve puzzles with a buddy is fantastic, plus you have the advantage of having multiple abilities at once. Trine 2 features three player both locally and online, and it dramatically changes the game while making it a bit easier. With three characters, you can definitely see the potential for co-op. It is a light RPG element, but one that can help in the long run of the game. Each level gives you one point, which you can disperse as you see fit. You collect orbs throughout the game, which is what you use to level up. ![]() None of the upgrades are required to finish the game, but they do make instances much easier as you get further in the game. For instance, you can increase the number of objects Amadeus can conjure at once, or give Zoya ice arrows to freeze enemies. This is just an example, but you get the idea.Įach character also has an upgrade tree that you can use to give them more power. You may need Zoya to shoot her arrows to break a rope and then have Amadeus conjure a wooden plank to cross the chasm. Switching between characters is imperative to solving a lot of these puzzles, and is what gives Trine its unique approach to the genre. If one character dies, you can resurrect them and replenish your health bars at any checkpoint orb. Each character plays a specific role in the game, and you can swap between them by simply tapping a button. You assume the role of three very different characters in the game, Zoya, who is a thief that wields a bow and grappling hook, Amadeus, the wizard who can conjure items and levitate them and, finally, Pontius, the knight who wields a sword and shield and hammer. If you enjoy games that give you the freedom to experiment without much consequence, Trine 2 is your game. Thankfully, the game never punishes you for being creative in fact, most of the puzzles have multiple solutions, making each person’s play through somewhat unique. Yeah, the game shows you the basics and teaches you controls, but these puzzles really are thought-provoking at times, and sometimes the clear answer isn’t always the right one. One area that might strike you if you haven’t played the original, though, is the tutorial. You can enjoy the story just don’t expect to be engulfed in it. ![]() The story really only plays out in between levels, with a narrator describing the events or the display of a few cut scenes. The game plays it out like each game is a tale of these characters, and required knowledge of the lore isn’t necessary. If you never played the original game, you can still jump into the second one. Combine that with appearing on Xbox 360 for the first time, and you have a recipe for a successful downloadable game that arrives just in time for Christmas. Trine 2 builds heavily on the successes of the first game, beefing up the visuals and, of course, the challenge. Developer Frozenbyte has since mastered the craft and decided to grace us with a sequel that once again follows the antics of these three off-color characters. When the original Trine was released back in 2009, it received plenty of praise for its unique puzzle-solving elements involving physics. There is also a Trial demo you can download for free if you’re on the fence.The trio returns for more physics-based puzzling. Trine 2: Complete Story is available now on the PS Store for £14.49/€16.95 – or if you’re a PS Plus subscriber, only £11.59/€13.56. Sony has confirmed that the game runs at “beautiful Full HD 1080p resolution with 60 frames per second”. Trine 2: Complete Story edition comes with 50 trophies, with some that will prove quite challenging even to the most veteran of players. ![]() I have to say that playing Trine 2 solo is a bit of a bore, but joining forces with other players is an amazing experience, where you all can get together to solve puzzles, take down bad guys and clear obstacles. The game will feature online, as well as local co-op for up to three players. ![]() Hence, it’s with great pleasure that I report that Trine 2: Complete Story edition has launched on the PlayStation 4. It’s a game that I believe everyone should experience for themselves and not go over ratings or reviews of others. Trine 2 is one of those games that just blew me away with its amazingly pretty visuals and level designs.
