Enemies exist mainly for a touch of variety and the bosses require flitting between the characters’ skills to take down, meaning exploration and advancement are the main focus here. What I liked most about Trine 3 was how fluid and puzzle-based it was. Each has their own abilities with Zoya having the ability to use her grappling hook to reach / move distant objects as well as strike targets with her bow, Amadeus with the ability to create and command boxes and finally Pontius who can glide to distant areas with his ‘kite’ shield (geddit?) and has a ground-pound attack that comes in handy in surprisingly various situations. This is a good thing.įor those unfamiliar with the Trine games, the player takes alternate control (in multiplayer mode, each character is onscreen at once) of the three main protagonists, Zoya the Thief, Amadeus the Wizard and Pontius the Knight. The third title in the long-running Medieval-ish Trine series sees the game make the transition from 2D to 3D, a bold leap that it tackles with grace, resulting in a game that reminded me somewhat of the time I spent with Mario Odyssey last year.
