Currently I'm working my way through the game a level at a time. I fire it up whenever I feel the need to take a short mental break. So, without any further ado let me introduce you to Trine, here's a short gameplay video:
Trine is an extremely gorgeous game, with a nicely balanced mix of puzzle-solving as well as good old fashioned combat. The physics used give the game a new dimension which fully rounds out the experience.
The premise is simple, your player has three souls "stuck" to each other through an ancient artifact called the Trine. A wizard, that can move objects from a distance and conjure items such as boxes and planks from thin air. The wizard is a non-combat character, his magic is only used for overcoming obstacles. A thief which can shoot arrows and can swing from her grappling hook. She is excellent for ranged attacks for all of the baddies that come for you. Lastly, a knight which is your main combat character. He wields a sword and shield, useful for protecting against ranged attacks. Throughout the levels, you find that using one character's abilities makes overcoming an obstacle easier. I've found that each challenge can usually be handled with any of the three characters. If you're creative in your approach to each situation, great fun can ensue! =)
