Trine series - ups and downs
Trine became known to the players in 2009, when the first part of the game was released. Sympathetic, colorful graphics, fairytale atmosphere and gameplay combining elements of platforming with environmental puzzles quickly won the hearts of players. The key system of the game was a mechanic that allowed for changing the active character during the game to making the best use of the special abilities of each character.
After two warmly received installments, the series began to experiment with new elements, such as moving to 3D. The new direction was not to the liking of players and, as a result, Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power is now considered the worst part of the series. Developers fortunately took the community's reactions to heart, making the 2019's Trine 4 a strong return to the classic formula.
