Trine 2 App Reviews

This is good stuff. A standing ovation to the developers. I was blown away at the level of quality that was in this game and I honestly dont think that I have any gripes or would desire any changes. The gameplay is superb, the graphics and visual style are incredible, the music is outstanding and appropriate, the story is interesting and humorous, and the voice acting is excellent. After finishing Trine 2, I was left with the very satisfied feeling that I had played a "complete" game produced by a developement team with great attention to detail and dedication to quality. Thanks for that experience. I have already gone ahead and gotten the in-game expansion and I look forward to future releases from Frozenbyte. There needs to be more games like this.

This game quits when Im playing, notghing has changed on my 16GB 27" iMac except the Trinde 2 update.

Great game however it takes a little while to download because it is so massive

If you have any reservations about getting this game, forget about them. This game is a great puzzle-solving side-scroller, with very nice graphics to boot. Im a fan of computer games that make you think while playing instead of just running around shooting people (although some fps games are fun as well), and this is one of my favorites in that category. Grab it while its on sale, or get it on steam when its on sale there (which is every couple of months). Oh, and get the goblin menace expansion - it adds a good amount of gameplay, although the final boss fight is somewhat aggravating in that it doesnt take much skill but just a lot of running away and shooting arrows.

The controls are terrible and now it says to right click to move past a boulder but when I push control click (which is how you right click on macbook) it just doesnt work. Waste of 3 dollars. I thought I was getting a deal but it turns out I was just throwing money in the trash. I will never again buy a game that doesnt have a demo.

Things I like about this game include the completely gorgeous and atmospheric graphics, the ability to switch among three characters who have different abilities and can attain different upgrades, the puzzles that are just challenging enough but not so hard that Im always having to check a walkthrough to get to next stage. I really like that the same puzzle can often be solved in more than one way, depending on which abilities you prefer to use. NOTE: I noticed one review was unable to get the controls to work. You can fix this by reconfiguring the keyboard controls so that when you press the left-hand command key (without clicking mouse) , you get the same thing as a right-click or whatever the default is. (Some Mac users only have a one-click mouse like me). You CAN change it, although altering the settings is not the most intuitive process. It is sometimes difficult to execute complex sequences of movements with the keyboard, however. I did get the hang of it, but some players might want to completely change the keyboard command settings so they arent playing "Twister" on the keyboard. The only thing I didnt like about Trine 2 is this difficulty in doing things like rapidly switching directions mid jump or perfectly timed jumps to get past certain puzzles. Fortunately, there is often a different way to solve the puzzle, so be creative!

I was torn giving this 4 stars, because it was not what I hoped for from a sequel. However, this and the original game are really fun straight progression games. The graphics are great. The gameplay is great. The price was ok. Basically, if you liked the first Trine, you will definitely enjoy this, but it will leave you wishing they had added something unique. 4 stars under $10. 3 stars over $10. If you can get it for less than $5 its a sure 5-star bet!

Well my first time through the levels, I too had some problems, but nothing that eventually didnt reveal itself as my own inexperience with the game. BTW, if you do experience an issue and no one else does, then it is probably an issue with your Mac setup and-or equipment. Anyway, some things that you might consider taking into advisement are: 1- Firing explosive arrows or using the hammer throw into areas where you cannot yet see ( in the distance to the right ) can destroy the enemy, but may, also, do things like knock a valuable cable trolley off its cables, which cannot be fixed without restarting the entire level. At first I thought this was a glitch, but it is not. 2- If you want the ability to float on boxes, then you must go to settings and enable that ability. 3- Lots of computer memory, and a really good graphics card are invaluable. My ATI 4870 w/512 Mb works like a charm on my G5 early 2008 desktop. 4- Be sure to carry things (when possible) from one level to another; like pipe plugs/caps, large rectangular stones, as they can often prove invaluable. Some items can be carried 3 levels. 5- I wasnt able to get an xbox 360 controller to work on my machine, but was still able to finish all level configuring the keyboard settings and using an Apple laser mouse. 6- BTW I am 65+ years old and not the quickest player in the world with my hands, but if your mentally sharp you can still win all levels. Great Game with a well thought out design. The price is excellent too ! Bravo !

I have had a lot of fun with this game. One control issue I had was with the right clicking. On my Mac Book Pro, my control click registered as only a regular click in the game. However when I went to change the controls in the menu, my control click did register as a right click to set a new control for the levitate/shield/grapple. But then if I returned to the game, I couldnt right click. I did end up changing the command to just right control, but that was a little bit annoying, particularly for the grappling.

This game will replace whatever you had in your heart as an all-time favorite. Quickly will Trine 2 become that game you always look upon with fondness and deep regard. Mushy stuff aside, the graphics are STELLAR! Even on my 2012 MacBook Air; no complaints. If you’re into puzzles, guess what? There’s multiple solutions to each one! You’re not stuck looking up BS strategy guides or googling for boss info. Nay, you ARE the strategy guide. Don’t listen to the “controls don’t work” reviews, they just don’t know how to use a Mac yet (no offense intended). If you’re using a single button mouse, it will require some additional configuration within the game (as stated before). Although you’ll need to fiddle around a bit to set up what works for you, it’s a million times worth it. You will never have a bad thing to say about Trine 2. Trust me, I’ve been searching for a game like this for almost 15 years now. Some have come close, but this is the total package. It’s inexpensive, the content is robust, the length is adequate, and the graphics are stellar. What more do you want in a game?! Buy it. Buy it now. Stop reading this and go click the green button up there. You’ll be happy you did.

This game runs so much better than the first in the series! I had so many performance issues while playing the first Trine on a Macbook Air that I could not complete the game (far from it, actually - I had to turn it off after a short while due to over-heating). But there are no such troubles here, and this title has very well earned its Five Stars.

I understand this game takes a long time to download because it has a lot of info, but I cant even get it to run. it says I only need OS 10.5. I have 10.6.6 and it doesnt run. Not at all. I only get the loading screen. It never goes any farther. If there are other hardware requirements, at least make them known so people dont waste their hard earned money for nothing.

This game is great. Great graphics, great framerates, great concept. The one big downside is some puzzles are impossible to figure out unless you look it up online. And even when you see the solution, you realize it’s not your fault you couldn’t figure out b/c some of them make no sense...

Looks so awesome and plays great. Gets a little repetitive, but with these looks, who cares?!?

This is probably one of the best games I have ever played. The story is great, the gameplay is stellar, I hooked up my PS3 controller and it JUST WORKED! Everything about this game is amazing!

This is a massive game with lot of hd graphics which my Mac book pro (with i7) just can not handle. Everytime this game starts mac gets heated up and evrything starts hanging. This game does not even run smoothly on lowest of the graphic levels, making it literally unplayable. I had eagerly waited for Trine 2 after Trine 1, but I am not able to play it at all. As much as I like Trine 1 because it is light weight and smooth, I do not like Trine 2 because it is massive and consumes a lot of memory.

This game is awesome. Totally worth the $15. The graphics are amazing and it has just the right mix of puzzles and fighting.

I found the controls much harder than most platformers, it probably works great with a 3 button mouse / game controller but if you are on a mac book pro without a “left mouse button” its hard. I thought the “a”-“d” controls for left right and jumping were out of wack and could use a bit more tuning by the developer.. that was the first 20 minutes I am sure I will find more wrong with it.

great game! Not one bad thing to say about it, so worth the money Best game I have ever played, please make a 3rd soon

This game is uterly amazing to say the least. even though it is 15 bucks it is worth every cent. Highly recomendit to anyone! Thanks Frozenbyte
