Hey there PlayStation fans! Kai from Frozenbyte here with some great news for platforming enthusiasts and fans of the Trine series. We’re hoping to bring Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power to PS4 in time for Christmas! The third game of the series has been renewed quite a lot and as you may have heard, Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power has full 3D gameplay!
“Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy is looking excellent so I sat down with Kai Tuovinen from Frozenbyte to ask all about what fans can expect when it comes to gameplay, puzzles, co-op mechanics, bosses, and much more. Let's get to it!” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
Game Chronicles:
I’m well aware that this review seems overly negative, so it may be confusing to read that for the most part, I enjoyed my time with Trine 3, however short the overall experience may be. There are visual and conceptual design choices on show that make the world feel alive and like an enticing place to be, but these are hampered by technical issues and structural decisions that hold the game back from being as good as it could be. Trine 3 attempts to build on what’s come before to make a bigger and better experience, but it feels a little too much the ambition overshot the reality, resulting in a game that doesn’t quite know what it’s trying to do. It’s a shame, as shooting for the stars is often praiseworthy, but Trine 3 is unfortunately an example of what happens when such an approach falls short.
As the name would suggest, Trine 3: the Artifacts of Power is the third game in a series, following the same trio of characters. While it follows a cohesive narrative, there were several major changes in the way Trine 3 played out. It was the first in the series to become a fully 3D game, and that results in some interesting and frustrating moments in some of the levels. It also broke away from the leveling and skill learning/upgrades that were both part of the first two installments.
