I won't go into too much detail on Trine 3, but in comparison to Trine 1 and Trine 2, Trine 3 is just a sore disappointment. The story is mediocre and very short. It's more of a setup for the next game than a stand-alone story like the other two before it. Thank God it is, because it keeps the game short and digestible.

The actual gameplay suffers heavily due to the pseudo-3D levels that were implemented. Overall, they just felt awkward to move around in and seemed to negatively influence level design choices and gameplay. The character controls feel bad and buggy.

The game has coins that must be collected in order to progress, but in no way is collecting these or redoing a level to get the required amount of coins a fun experience. It feels like this mechanic was only implemented to extend the playtime.

I miss everything in this game that charmed me in the first two, and if possible, I would recommend skipping this one and just watching the cutscenes before playing Trine 4.

good game

This was so much fun! I played it a bit unsure how much I will enjoy it, but within first few minutes I was swapped. The gameplay, the visuals, sounds, characters and even collecting triangles-- all those brought me a lot of joy. The story does end of cliffhanger, but personally I don't find it problematic. Somewhat, I even like that. Overall a lovely game! <33
