How Trine become a puzzle game
Hey, I played Trine 1 after many years and I am shocked how much this game is different than Trine 4 / Trine 5. There is more action, the combat system is better - the skeletons are very intelligent, they have original fighting styles and it is hard to fight them, the game does not focus only on logic puzzles as in the T4 and T5 where the creators gave the most attention to puzzles. The original Trine is a platformer and action game with puzzle elements, not a puzzle game with action elements, there is a difference.

What do you think about this? Is this a good thing that Trine become a puzzle game?

I much prefer the puzzles trine 1 and 2 and be almost completly done with only the wizzard if you dont count the fights trine 4 and 5 makes the knight way more fun to play with when they added the shiled glide from the second game and the other abilitas they only issue with trine 4 and 5 is all fights are condesed to arena fight unlike the spread out enemy encounters with the first 3 games

You know, Trine has changed, it was always an adventure/platformer game with puzzle elements but nowadays it's more of a puzzle game with platformer elements. The combat system was terrible in T4. T5 has a much better balance of combat, platforming and puzzles but it's still not the same level as Trine 2.
I finished Trine 5 on PlayStation but finally I could play it on laptop and I have the same opinion... it's a really great game that cures the sins of Trine 4 - better combat, better story, but that game is mostly puzzle-based. If you play Trine 2 You can noticed the focus is on platforming and action, puzzles are important too, but they don't fill 100% of the game.
