Completionist may not complain but beginners might not realize the importance of collecting until they have to go back to previous chapters or complete class challenges to move on.Ĭlass challenges are new modes that were added in Trine 3. Instead of incorporating the collection of points into a new system, the game just requires you to do it. The lack of talent trees makes collecting “trineangles” obsolete. The board also represents the new gated story progression system which is one of the most disappointing things for me. I love the design of the board, unfortunately I feel returning to the select screen between levels breaks some of the immersion that you experience in the earlier games. It is reminiscent of the introduction to Game of Thrones or those handmade Settlers of Catan boards. While most of the new skills are improvements, they are missing the flavor of the old skills.Ī new addition to the game is the stage select map, which mimics a game board carved out of wood. Combat can be clunky on Zoya and Amadeus but Pontius’ new combat abilities allow you to control a large group of enemies rather easily. The synergy between the new character abilities makes solving puzzles a lot more efficient and intuitive. At first I missed some of the advanced skills that you can obtain in Trine 2 (Monster Prison was really fun) but the new abilities work well with each other. Talent trees have been removed and some of the base abilities have been replaced with new ones. Speed playing the game will make depth issues more noticeable so I recommend taking your time to enjoy what the game has to offer.Ĭharacter abilities are a bit different in Trine 3. Gauging depth is the most noticeable problem with the 3D but I only found that troublesome in “Chapter Seven: The Redwood Forest”, due to the snow already limiting visibility. While many reviews have met this change with resistance, I found it to be refreshing with limited issues. There is a new depth to the levels which allows you to move toward and away from the screen, and gives you more opportunities to interact with the world. Traditionally, the Trine games have been 2D, side-scrolling, action, platform, and puzzle games, but Trine 3 differs from its predecessors with a new 3D element. The environments are truly special in these games. The playful music is evocative and magical. In the series you can find yourself at a shimmering beach, lush jungles, magical castles, or atop snowy mountains. The kingdom where the games take place is a fantastical wonderland full of saturated and breathtaking sights. While the story may sound simple, its storybook charm and loveable dialogue bring each game to life. The series tells the story of three heroes who have unique abilities and are tasked with saving the world from evil (over and over again). –Cliff hanger ending leaves you wanting more.įrozenbyte is back with a new edition to the Trine series, Trine 3: Artifacts of Power for Microsoft Windows. –A little short, 4-7 hours, depending on player experience with this type of game.
