Trine

[DANGERMAN]

Finally Trine has come out on PSN, and rather than the £10 the devs hinted at way back when it's actually £16 (or £17 I forget), which is actually cheaper than Steam still but disappointing all the same. Obviously whether it's worth it depends on the content that's in there and how good it. Also I had £4 in my account still which softened the blow a bit.

The game is really good, and shows it pretty quickly. You start off as the thief, who can grapple to certain items and fire arrows, which are a bit shit truth be told but I'm sure will prove useful later. Once you touch the magic stone with her you take control of the lecherous and lazy wizard. The wizard can use a pointer to grab things out of reach, such as platforms or blocks, and he can also create blocks which adds to the puzzle element. Then there's the knight who has a shield on the right stick and a sword on the shoulder or square.

The presentation is a bit weird. Some parts of it seem a bit cheap and unfinished, things like the load screen and menus, but then the graphics and voice acting are brilliant. That said there's been a few other things, firstly the knight glitched along while i was walking backwards with my shield up, and secondly a large block i had to pull down got stuck on a wall and wouldnt fall, so i had to force my way through the obstacle.

It's really good fun though, the combat isnt perfect, but it looks like you'll be able to use the scenery to help you. There's lots of collectable to find, and some levelling up, which isnt explained all that well yet. Hopefully it's a decent size though

I played the demo when it came out on steam. I thought it was really good, but yeah, the price was a bit high. I'm waiting for a good sale.

Hey, you know all that praise I had for the start of the game? Yeah ignore that. Once you get to halfway the game just falls apart. The combat is gash, and the platforming's worse, which is why the last level is a big platform fest against the 'clock'

I'll go into it better some other time, but other than to say that the game is reasonably long, it's really not all that great, certainly not worth the cream it was covered in on the PC release

And to think I was so close to getting it. If they ever discount it I'll look into it.

Here will do.

Can't remember if it was the first or second game I played on PS4 but fucking hell I've never been so bored in my entire life... utter wank.

It’s very boring on your own but it’s much better in co-op. Still not amazing but more fun.
