In the Goblin Menace, Amadeus’ wife is kidnapped, and you must rescue her. This time, the story is told through cut-scenes instead of the still-art. All your skills carry over and it feels like you are just continuing the main game. After beating Trine 2, you are immediately brought into the Goblin Menace DLC. You will easily end up liking one of the three characters, if not all three of them. The banter the three heroes have with one another while journeying through a level is often enough to get a laugh out of you. Trine 2 tells its story with beautiful still artwork, great voice acting for all the characters, and well written dialog. Now, they are thrust into another epic adventure that involves magic forests, evil goblins, and princesses. After saving the kingdom in the first game, they find the Trine has come to ask for their aid once more. There’s Zoya the Thief, Amadeus the Wizard, and Pontius the Knight. Trine does create quite the world as it transports you to a fantasy realm with three loveable characters on an adventure. Their character designs, artwork, sculptures, and everything little tiny detail is all excellently crafted to bring life into the world Trine creates. The musical arrangement is incredible, from the majestic music that carries a magical element, to when it livens up when an action segment is occurring, it’s perfect.
The pretty graphics alone are not what makes Trine so immersive, but everything the game does. Trine succeeds once again in being a visual masterpiece. I remember playing Trine 2 back on the PS3, and there was always a severe drop in frame-rate when there was too much fire on the screen, but that’s no longer a worry.
Trine 2 complete story levels 720p#
The previous versions (excluding the WiiU) were running at 720p with 30fps, on the PS4 it runs at a full 60fps at 1080p, and if you are lucky enough to own a 3D TV, you can even play it in full 3D as well. Of course, this is being reviewed on the PS4 so it looks incredible. Who knew a 2D game could look so good? It’s remarkable how agitated you feel when you a dark cavern filled with spiders, and how you release a breath once you arrive back in a more peaceful setting. A lush forest’s true beauty is revealed, and a fiery dungeon’s nightmarish terror is realized all with the detail and graphical presentation. The backdrops are crafted with deep colors, wonderful lightning effects, and exotic landscapes.
With beautiful set-pieces and colorful art design, Trine certainly catches your eye from the moment they see the screen. It could possibly be the most visually stunning 2D platformer to date. Trine has always stood out from other platformers ever since its original release back in 2009. Trine 2: Complete Story is a must buy that is, if you don’t already own it. This is a methodical game that rewards patience and creativity rather than blindlessly jumping about. You shouldn’t expect to run through these levels at a blistering pace with enemies and all sorts of traps raining hell down on you.
Trine has always been the latter, focusing on intellectual challenges over reflexes. There are two main types of platformers: there are your fast-paced, crazy, in-your-face, just try to keep up games, and then there are your slow puzzle type games.
