Trine 4 is beautiful and perhaps a bit too straightforward for solo players, but it shines brilliantly in co-op.

Puzzle design does the heavy lifting for Trine 4, a fun but ultimately hollow experience.

A welcome return to form for the series, and while the co-op puzzle-solving no longer seems quite as original as it once did it's never been as enjoyable or varied as this.

Whether you’re alone, with friends, or living in a box, Trine 4 is an old school co-op adventure worth taking.

Really, that's how I could sum up Trine 4. It's an easy recommendation for platform fans, but it's also just a plain fun time. It's not revolutionary or trailblazing, but it does what it needs to prove that Frozenbyte hasn't lost its touch. I wouldn't necessarily expect a Trine 5 or anything, but clearly, this series has some life left in it.

Frozenbyte returns with a fourth installment of its saga of puzzles and platforms that shows that the study still knows how to create smart gameplay riddles. Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is a reconciliation between the franchise and its fans, an ode to their first two games that polishes and further refines what they presented to the world when they went on sale.

Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is a lovely return for the series' 2.5D puzzle platforming. It tinkers with and broadens the gameplay options to be more welcoming, and levels can feel a little stretched out at times, but grab a couple of friends and stick it on Classic mode, and this will delight fans of those first two games.

A very pleasant adventure that you will enjoy specially in multiplayer. It recovers the right path from the previous game.

A good return that fulfills what it promises, although it lacks some more strength in history and some difficulty that makes it more striking for a single player.

With Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince, Frozenbyte has returned the series to its origins by making dynamic puzzles the main attraction.

Its puzzles are both simple and clever, opening it up to a wider audience, but switching between characters in order to use different abilities tends to be more frustrating than not.

Trine 4 is the proper sequel to the series and really reinvigorates my love for it. I still highly recommend playing with friends though as that is where it truly stands out.

Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is a real rehabilitation for Frozenbyte after the unsuccessful third game. Interesting locations with unique tasks, a great combination of skills and beautiful graphics will allow you to spend some great evenings in the company of light humor and favorite characters.

Combat feels stiff and imprecise, but that feels like a mild quibble about such a consistently pleasing experience.

A wizard, a Thief, and a Knight walk into a Prince's Nightmare and the result is a dream game come true. The fourth installment of the Trine series has gone back to its 2.5D roots after going full-blown 3D in 2015's The Artifacts Of Power. The clever platform-puzzle adventure offers an enchanting experience for the single player or collaborate with up to four players in co-op which can be played locally or online. Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is an unforgettable adventure that should not be missed.

The great aspect of Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is that you may discover a new way to solve one of the puzzles, come across new things on a second playthrough or even play more as a different character the second time.
