The graphics are certainly better but other than streamlining some of the characters’ abilities nothing has really changed in gameplay turns. The only thing the game doesn’t offer is any significant evolution from the first game. Here you can combine powers together, with the wizard being particularly useful for levitating the other two around, which makes for an especially social and interdependent experience. Oddly the first game on the PC only had offline multiplayer, but now everything works online as well. From the gigantic boss monsters to the beauty of a setting sun, and the leafy fronds of forest vegetation the game isn’t just technically impressive but beautifully designed as well.Īnother key difference from The Lost Vikings is the three-player co-op mode.
It doesn’t necessarily come across so well in the screenshots but the attention to detail and sumptuous lightning makes it look like you’re wandering through the painted cover of a high fantasy novel. Then there’s the fact that the game is drop dead gorgeous, and we really do mean staggeringly beautiful. But running at 60 frames per second and 1080p this is one of the most attractive games on Sony’s new console – and it’s also one of the few to have a 3D option.
Heavily influenced by 16-bit hit The Lost Vikings (made by Blizzard, back before their Warcraft days) Trine’s gentle action and perplexing puzzles aren’t the sort of gameplay that would normally seem to demand such extravagantly beautiful graphics. So here, for the launch of the PlayStation 4, is another chance not to miss out.
Perhaps we’re underestimating its success, as its many different versions have slowly trickled out across a variety of formats over the last two years, but we certainly feel its gorgeous visuals go unfairly under-appreciated.
Trine 2 is one of those games that really deserves to be a lot more famous than it is. One of the best-looking games on the PlayStation 4 is also one of the best downloads on PSN, but is it the definitive version of Trine 2? Trine 2: Complete Story (PS4) – prettier than it needs to be
