With each of the characters having their own special abilities, it goes without saying that Trine 2 is a game best enjoyed with friends - not only because it'll save you having to switch between characters all the time, but also because it makes the game a heck of a lot easier. As with the leaf puzzle before, though, usually you'll have to simply spawn a box, and jam it in one of the mechanisms - with the box stopping a wheel rotating, or a cog from turning, you'll be able to speed through the door without much hassle. After pulling the switch, you'll have to keep an eye on everything that moves, as you look for something you can block, a switch you can keep active, or a mechanism with a weakness. One of the other common examples asks you to keep a gate open for enough time in order to get everyone past. In this situation, there are at least two things you can do - the first is to get your wizard to summon a box, which you can then cunningly place under the flow of water, causing it to gush towards the leaf instead or, you can make use of a giant leaf that just happens to be sitting at the side of the screen - grabbing it with your magic, you can give it a tug, and use it as a funnel to move the water to the right place.Īnd it's this air of experimentation that you'll have to use to figure your way past Trine's many puzzles.
But how you get the water there is entirely up to you. As luck would have it, that stream of water is actually magic water, with the ability to make a plant (which is handily sparkling to attract your attention) grow to gargantuan proportions. There's water falling from a chute, a strange sparkling in the middle of the screen, and a plant with a giant leaf growing on the right hand side. With a door high up on the right hand side of the screen (and well out of your reach), you'll have to take in your surroundings. One of the earlier (and recurring) puzzles sees you coming across something of a cliff.

And when we say physics based, it's probably best to clarify we're not talking about figuring out relativity or trying to work out how to propel a goblin at his escape velocity - instead, we're talking about the kind of puzzles you end up solving as you would in real life. By plugging in a Nunchuck and Wii Remote combo, up to three people can join in the fun, taking on the role of one of a trio of adventurers - an old wizard, who can conjure boxes a nimble thief, who's armed with a bow, and can fire a grappling hook to haul herself up to otherwise inaccessible places and an armour clad knight, who carries either a sword and shield, or a whopping great mallet, which is great for smashing things up.Įnemies are one of the most frustrating parts of the game, especially as the wizard doesn't actually have an attack.īut while at first glance you may be expecting just another hack and slash platformer, Trine 2's actually more of a puzzle game than anything else, with each level being a procession of various physics based mind benders waiting to be decrypted.
#TRINE 2 WIIU PC#
Hitting the Wii U in a trendy Directors Cut form (the 360, PS3 and PC all got Trine 2 a while ago), the Wii U version is the most complete form of the game, with an expansion pack, some Wii U exclusive features, and a bonus level thrown in for good measure - although at a rather hefty £13.99 (currently on sale for £10.99 until the end of the year), you'll be hoping for a pretty comprehensive pack.Ī three player co-op adventure, Trine 2 mixes traditional platforming with puzzles in a spectacular fantasy world (with lots of pretty water).
