Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince

I admit, I have never played a Trine game before The Nightmare Prince, despite it’s strong cult following. The series hit a rough spot with Trine 3, whilst experimenting with the series, so I’m happy my first game in the series is the one that puts it back on track.

Featuring an all-new story that reunites Amadeus, Pontius, and Zoya, Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince returns to the magic of 2.5D with the puzzle-platforming gameplay that defined a genre in Trine 1 and 2.

The good news with Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is that the folks at Frozenbyte are masters of 2.5D puzzle-platforming gameplay. The possible bad news, however, is that there’s not a whole lot to separate Trine 4 from Trine 1 and 2. I say "possible" bad news because I understand most fans of the series aren’t going to care.Read More

Video game sequels don’t always need to make radical changes to push the series forward. Developer Frozenbyte knows this lesson better than most after their attempt to take Trine 3D in its last outing didn’t pan out too well.

The puzzles and banter are as good as they've ever been, though Trine 4 has a hard time overcoming some dodgy combat mechanics.

Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince's bad combat and clunky controls can't bring down an immensely satisfying experience. With excellent puzzles, clever new mechanics, and sumptuous visuals, Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is another superlative entry into an increasingly underrated series.

Yes, I recognize the irony in finding a game subtitled The Nightmare Prince to be a pleasant little dream of a thing. But that’s the joy of it. It’s a simple trick, a sleight-of-hand, and it pulls the trick off over and over by being really good at that simple trick and doing it without a hint of shame. What else could you ask for?

A long ten years ago (yes, 2009 was ten years ago) the first Trine game was released and immediately praised for its gorgeous world design and fresh gameplay mechanics. Only for developer Frozenbyte say, “oh, you saw us making an amazing puzzle game? Wanna see us do it again?” before releasing Trine 2 in 2011.

Verdict: Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is a fluffy fantasy adventure, filled to the brim with engaging puzzles, platforming and backed by a beautiful, vibrant world. A weak story, bland combat, and inconsistent pacing prevent Trine 4 from exceeding, but the game oozes with so much magic, that it’s hard to resist its charms.
