About This Game

Experience a fairytale world of breathtaking sceneries and face a myriad of physics-based puzzles, wonderful contraptions, dangerous foes and enchanting creatures.

Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power is a platforming game of action, puzzles and adventure, and the sequel to the award winning Trine and Trine 2. Reunite with the familiar heroes - Pontius the Knight, Amadeus the Wizard and Zoya the Thief in an all-new adventure, now for the first time in full 3D!

Playable in single-player or in co-up with up to three players, both locally or online.

Amadeus the Wizard, Pontius the Knight, and Zoya the Thief have slowly come to the conclusion that having their lives commandeered by a powerful magical artifact is not a desirable state of existence on a permanent basis.

The heroes try to return their extraordinary gifts to the Artifact called Trine, and so they meddle with powers beyond their understanding: Trine shatters and a heartless ancient sorcerer escapes. With only a broken artifact to guide them, the heroes must try and repair the damage they've caused... or the damage that might yet be done.

A married wizard and father of triplets, Amadeus can summon mystical boxes and move obstacles with his spells. Perhaps he is not the most skilled or fearsome of wizards, but the heroes rely on Amadeus on all things concerning magic and legends. Amadeus has always liked adventures more in theory rather than in practice, preferring the fame and tales of his deeds to the actual doing of said deeds, which often deprive him of naps and holidays with his family.

The brave protector of the realm with a big heart, Pontius is a champion to anyone in need, regardless of their station. Pontius was knighted by the King himself, and he has a red cape to prove it! He is a frontline hero who is always going headlong first into battle with his trusty shield and sword. In addition to passionately fighting on the side of Goodness and Justice, Pontius has an equal love for good food and drink, and dreams of one day settling down on a simple farm, where he could protect his corner of the world, while growing enormous potatoes and pumpkins. And eat pie.

Clever and elusive, Zoya gets in and out of tricky situations all the time. She brings her bow and arrows to a fight, but she also has a grappling hook that can be useful in various thiev... situations. Zoya appreciates all the adventures she has had with with Trine, due to all the trinkets she's been able to collect on the way, but she is becoming anxious to get back on her own. Being on call for Trine is nowhere near as thrilling as her old life as a purveyor of rare and precious items.

Online and Local Co-op

Up to three players can play online and local co-up. Any mix is possible (for example 2 local, 1 online) and you can switch from singleplayer to multiplayer and vice versa. Play with your Steam friends and explore the secrets together!

The Lost Pages

The ultimate test to your skills, the Lost Pages feature the most incredible contraptions, character-driven design, and ridiculous puzzles. Are you skilled enough to unlock all the Lost Pages?

Soundtrack

Award-winning composer Ari Pulkkinen returns for an amazing fantasy soundtrack!

Fantastic Fantasy

Adventure through breathtakingly beautiful landscapes in an enchanting fairytale world, and for the first time ever explore the Trine world in a full 3D setting, allowing you to go check out all the nooks and crannies that have been so alluring in the past.

Full Language Support for English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, and Brazilian-Portuguese

This review is similar to the game itself - short, simple, and unfinished.

Trine 3 looks very nice (although at times feels overexposed/oversaturated), and it's generally fun to play.

However, those coming from Trine 2 may be disappointed by the lack of complexity, lack of difficulty, and short length.

As for the unfinished part, well, I'll just leave you with this link:

Should you play it? Yes! Just don't go in with unreasonable expectations.

Trine 3 is one of the easiest game i have ever played, i mean....just look at the time i've put into this game to take all the trophies and finish the story!

It's fun! Maybe not like Trine 1 and 2 witch are trully masterpieces with way much more content and hours to put in but it's still a really fun game to play with your friends and have a great time!

The game isn't worth 21$ at all....because of the lack of content that's missing from the game...but it's definitely worth 5$!

So if you're a fan of the series buy the game when it's on sale and have fun with it!

That's what I did at least! ;)

Can't understand the hate for this game. I find it very enjoyable and relaxing. Also looking absolutely gorgeous!
Because of the 2,75D perspective it plays differently from its predecessors, but since I own all three, I welcome the mix!
As for the length, I purchased it while on sale, so no problems here. 3 hours in and having fun!

I love this series buuuuuuuuuuuuuut...NO! They made all the characters 1 trick ponies. The game is ridiculously short. It took under 5 hrs to beat it. I, honestly thought the game had glitched on the final battle and skipped to the credits for some reason. I was severely disappointed to find that it wasn't a glitch. I thought the 3d-ish aspect would make the series even better. I was wrong. The changes they made made the series worse. I got part of a game because they obviously gave up on making it at some point in developement and just decided to end the game barely into the story. It's almost like they wanted to screw over the fans before ending the series. I hope no one who put this game out works on any other franchises I like in the future. I don't want to find out that I only got part of a game again. Once is enough.

If you liked Trine 1 and 2 don't buy this game.

Trine 1 is a beatuiful puzzle platformer.
Trine 2 is a beautiful puzzle platformer, that even expanded the gameplay.
Trine 3 is nice to look at. Thats it.

They reduced your special abilities (i.e monster levitation, multiple conjured items,etc.)
You have no skill tree. Your limited abilities are unlocked from the start.
You have to collect "Trineangles" to unlock levels.
And worst of all: This game is so easy it took 6 hrs to complete all achievements.

I expected more from the third installment in the franchise. What i got was a lazy cash grab with no replayability, a pseudo "3d" environment where you can't even change the difficulty. Even the story Ends prematurely, hinting at DLC or Trine 4.

The levels feel extremely linear,due to the lack of different abilities.
Coop isn't needed. You can play every level easily on your own.
The "Trinangles" are mostly visible at a first glance, there a very few secrets.

Characters:
Amadeus: thanks to his smash ability, he is the most OP Character. Kill, climb or solve "puzzles" with him.
Zoya: practically useless, unless the level design forces you to use her.
Pontius: Can kill,glide and dash. The only other useful character besides Amadeus.

If you can get this game for free, give it a shot. Everything above 5€ is just too much.

It pains me to say, i loved the Trine series, but this is just ridiculous.

Edit: I forgot to mention the gamebreaking coop bugs.
"Trineangle" collection get's saved randomly. After one playthrough, where we collected all Trinangles, only the host had them saved. I had to play the level again to collect stuff i already collected.
Sometimes you are invisible until you restart the level. I'm sure i forgot something again, but this should suffice as a warning to potential buyers.

TL;DR don't buy.

I loved the first two games but I found this game wanting. I think they just tried doing too much with this game and it came out buggy and forgettable, my least favorite of the series.

A shame what happened to this franchise. This is not a finished game. It's playable, it looks beautiful, and once you get used to background and foreground being hardly distinguishable and the camera trying everything to screw you over at any given moment, you'll likely enjoy most of the puzzles. But the plot is only half a story, ending abruptly with no sense of closure after half of your quest. Apparently the devs admitted they didn't have enough money to finish the rest of the game. It's a damn shame.

Trine 3 might be one of the absolute worst games I have ever played in over 30 years of gaming. It saddens me to say that because the first two games in the series were great, but the third game is a rancid piece of crap.

What's wrong with it? Well, here's a list:

1. Controls randomly stop working.

2. Tons of glitches in multiplayer.

3. 3D is horribly implemented with no ability to tell depth, and there's no way to turn the camera. This results in countless deaths that could easily be avoided with a properly designed 3D engine.

4. All RPG elements from Trine and Trine 2 have been removed, so no more upgrades.

5. The thief's bow is practically worthless when using a controller, as it can't aim properly and pathetically fires arrows that limply drop to the ground.

6. The wizard can no longer create anything other than boxes (so no more bridges) and can't levitate the boxes if another player is standing on them.

7. In co-op, if one player dies, the game PURPOSEFULLY places the player's ghost in an area that's difficult for the other player to resurrect them. I've even seen it put dead players behind gates or in acid pools, the latter of which would kill the player attempting to ressurect his or her buddy.

So what's actually good about the game? The graphics are nice and it has a decent sense of humor, but that's about the best I can praise this ridiculous waste of hard drive space.

Look, if you liked Trine and Trine 2, do yourself a HUGE favor and DO NOT buy this game. Trine 3's horrible game design, controls, and gameplay will completely ruin the series for you. Instead, just replay the first two games.

The only way I'd ever recommend Trine 3 is in one of the following three situations:
1. You get it free.
2. There's a sale where it's cheaper to buy all three games together than the first two by themselves.
3. You're a masochist.

If none of the above apply, then stay far, far away from this garbage.

A disappointment after the previous games in the series. The extra dimension just added glitches and a frustrating gameplay experience, especially when the camera switches mid run to the 45 deg. angle shots. Mechanics, such as the effects of weight on the pinwheels would not always behave as expected. The puzzles seemed dumbed down to account for the challenge of working in 3D. Co-Op play was less exciting as it did not see as necessary to coordinate together.

This is 1/3 of a game. Literally, it just ends after 1/3 of your quest is done, no plot threads resolved, the villain still at large, a cliffhanger blatantly left there for you to buy the sequel, which is doubtful they'll ever even make due to this game's bad reception. It's an insult to the franchise and it's fans. Do not give Frozenbyte the satisfaction of seeing your money for this unfinished kick in the nuts.

This is a case where I wish there was a 'Recommend, but hesitant' option.
I will start off with saying that like the other Trine games (for their times) it is a very pretty game.
Unfortunately, the game is extremely short. It took me 5 hours to 100% complete it solo.
The puzzles were fun, the full 3d world was also a very nice addition. I definitely wish that there was just more to this game, I was never bored while playing it.
There are things that would have been nice to see return from Trine 2 (such as skill trees).
The ending felt very... abrupt. If in the future additional chapters are added (as the story aludes to) then my overall opinion will grealy improve.
Maybe a group of friends trying to work 'together' (or against each other) would make it even more enjoyable.
If you got this game in a bundle and are wondering if it is worth redeeming they key: Yes!
If the game is on a super sale and is ~$2-4: Yes!
If the game is full price at 21.99 or 59.99: No!

The game is nothing like the other 2 :(

My favourite trine was the second one. The goblin menace was a real challenge, and getting all achievements was fun. Of course I played everything in coop with a friend. We waited a long time before playing Trine 3. I already was expecting something not as good as the previous ones. But yeah....the game is not bad, but really, is on a totally different level compared to the first and second Trine.

It's a very difficult choice, because if you really enjoyed the old ones, I am sure you would want to play this. But also, if you play this, you will be quite disappointed. So....it's kind of a lose-lose situation.

It still has a good design and nice graphics, but story is completely absent and personally I would have stuck to the 2.5 D system instead of going to a 3D that is ok to manage but yet messes things up a bit. Combats are weird and all the abilities (pretty sure because of the 3D environment) are limited. No hammer throw, no triple arrows, no planks from the wizard.....up to you if you want to play it. Most likely, after finishing this, you'll feel like going back to Trine 2 and have another round on it. I recommend it because it's a third chapter of a saga I love. But I don't recommend it in the review because simply it doesn't deliver enough (also it is buggy in some places).

There's a lot to love in this game. It's visually stunning, funny, and the puzzles are satisfying. However, the game is not complete. It ends on a cliffhanger, and there is no conclusion. It's worth about 4-5 hours of fun, so buy it on sale.
