Game Chronicles - It’s a bit ironic, especially in a year with so many great video games, that I may have just stumbled upon one of my favorites with just over a week left in the year. Trine 2 came out of nowhere and took me totally by surprise with its charming storybook delivery and stunning, rich, vibrant, gorgeous, amazing, (excuse me while I consult my thesaurus…) , dazzling, astounding, elegant graphics. And it probably didn’t hurt that Trine 2 also offers some of the most satisfying platform-puzzle gameplay that mixes the best parts of Lost Vikings (look it up) and Portal 2.
VGChartz's Taneli Palola: "Pulkkinen is a relatively new face in the video game industry. Thus far he has worked exclusively on games developed by Finnish game studios, but I wouldn't be surprised if at some point in the near future his music begins to attract attention from elsewhere as well. Given that he is only 34 years old he likely has many more years ahead of him in the video game industry."
"Developer Frozenbyte has rolled out for its hit game, Trine 2. The PlayStation patch is now available for download for both US and EU gamers, so if your PS4 doesn’t automatically download patches, better head on over and flick that switch on."
I think he's overstating the gameplay which isn't as inventive as say, Braid but the production values and effort put into the environments especially for a budget game are truly stupendous.
