The result is a more accessible game, but one that has lost much of its strategic hand. The first change in this direction was the removal of the magic bar, which allows you to make as many boxes as you like and levitate them at will, or use the invisibility of the thief without any boundaries or restrictions. While Trine 2 is not exactly an easy game - especially on the higher difficulties - some changes made by the development team make the process of getting through the game much smoother than the previous version. It is a little like tapping your head and rubbing your belly at the same time. For example, early in the game, you have to correctly move trunks to carry water to a seed, and soon after, you need to shoot an arrow to shoot down a fruit attracting the attention of a giant frog. Trine 2 requires good observation skills in each scenario, with some seemingly insurmountable obstacles requiring a prolonged thought process to work through successfully. The lanky magician really comes in hand in a tight spot with his array of abilities and his bridge building power is a particularly useful addition to his armory. Amadeus, the Wizard, can use his magical powers to create boxes and platforms to levitate items. In addition, a hook, which helps to hang and swing off of various objects in order to reach hidden areas and high levels. Zoya, the Thief - who never likes to be called that by the narrator - has abow and special arrows that freeze or blow up enemies and weak structures. The stout knight is always faithful to the defense of his kingdom and has as his main skill force the use of his sword and hammer. The skills that are available to you remain the same - Pontius, the knight, is favored in combat and can use his shield to defend against enemies that spit poison, fire, or darting guns and many scenario elements. The songs closely resemble those found in older cartoons, giving a medieval and modern tone blend. The audio is also notable, featuring voice work with a surprising quality. Details like the sunlight reflecting off Pontius’s armor and shield and how dark environments help the characters and ‘hide’ them in time of need are proof that Frozenbyte was determined to make the most beautiful game possible. It's worth mentioning the lighting effects, which help to give a unique climate for each of the places through which you pass.
The exquisite art direction results in extremely colorful scenarios and little nuiances that will make you stop several times just to see take in what’s around you. The combination of each heroes unique abilities in solving each and every puzzle is a welcomed one and everything moves at a steady enough pace that it never feels tired.Īlthough the first Trine was already a beautiful game, the second adventure delivers even more visually amazing effects. Keeping all the elements that established the original as one of the best independant productions of all time was a major focal point for me personally and I was pleasantly surprised that the tidy controls and intuitive game mechanics are all here in spades. Set shortly after the previous installment, the mysterious artefact known as Trine returns, and it’s up to our three protagonists to step up to the plate and embark upon a new and mysterious mission.
