Trine 4 - Review Thread
- Thread starter Equanimity
- Start date
In theory, i should like the Trine games (physics based puzzle/platforming). I always look forward to a new game in the franchise, yet having played Trine 1 and 2, there's something about it that just doesn't work for me and i'm still not sure what it is. I think it's something about the controls, which i find somewhat clunky? I might try Trine 4 at some point in the future but i assume i'll end up feeling the same way as the other games...
The controls are quite a bit better this time around -- physics are less floaty, feels more like a proper platformer.
It’s bizarre how much I utterly loathe this franchise. I love the art but the first two games were some of the most boring and soulless 2D platformers I have ever played. I straight up hated every second of them.
I’m always curious to see the reception of the sequels because it seems like there’s clearly an audience if sequels keep getting made, I just desperately want to understand the appeal.

I ended up picking this up last night from best buy. Couldn't resist getting it for $24 (after gamers club unlocked) and getting a $10 gift card emailed to me. (I needed something to get free shipping with my secret of mana collection :P)
I just hope it performs well on the switch.
The reviews make me happy though since I liked 1 and 2.

Looks good!
I was thinking of playing the rest of the games after playing 2, years ago so I will get this once I am done.

Has the collection of games you can get on the Xbox One been updated for the X or is it just Trine 4?
Hope this is a return to form.
I loved the shit out of 2. 3 was pretty underwhelming compared to it.
This goes back to the style of 1 and 2, correct?

What. That is bizarre.
The puzzles in 2 especially were awesome. Wonderful graphics too.
The new levels in 2 (which first showed up on Wii U if I'm not mistaken) especially were amazing. I still remember that level where you're inside the stomach of the creature just blowing me away.
I played 2 coop with my brother online. Loved every minute.
My physical complete Switch edition came today and in the box was a code, I entered the code and Trine 1, Trine 2, Trine 3 and Trine 4 installed.
That’s interesting. I didn’t know the controls were tweaked in Trine 4. Hopefully there is some kind of demo or trial available in the future to try it out.
Yes, there is a cartridge in the game box that has Trine 4 written on it, I don't have the cartridge in my Switch but the icons are there for 1, 2, 3 and 4 as the little bar went across as they downloaded, I have played Trine 4 without the cartridge in.
The digital code seems to enable all four games.
This is what I am thinking, all I have done is enter the code that is in the box in the eShop and all four icons showed up and started to download, I thought maybe the Trine 4 icon was a sort of placeholder because of a day one patch and it would only work if I out the cartridge in but I pressed the icon and the game plays without the Trine 4 cartridge in.
I don't know about resolution or frame-rates but it looks very good in handheld, I have not played docked yet.
Bought it after reading this review. Really looking forward to this, sounds like a true return to the glory that was Trine 2.
Same thing for me on Switch. I now have all 4 games digitally plus a Trine 4 cartridge. Weird.
Have they even acknowledged this issue?
It is what I am going to do, in the eShop it says that I have "purchased" all of the games, I think the total space is 3.3GB for all of the games, it could be for each but I am not sure.
They have said this though

I've always loved this franchise and this is definitely a great sequel.
It's also absolutely gorgeous.
