Trine 4 returns to the safety of its roots, and feels unimaginative and unadventurous because of it.

Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is a gorgeous and fun addition to a great puzzle platformer game series. I highly recommend it if you are a fan of the original trilogy or are in the mood for a truly magical platforming adventure.

A quick admission, while I’ve always appreciated the beauty of the Trine series overall I was just never much of a fan of the overall experience...

If you are looking for a magical co-op puzzlegame, then this is the game for you. This is the most beautiful and the longest entry in the series yet. There are new skills and lots of puzzels to enjoy. Whilst the battles are not so impressive, this is still a game you must have played!

Trine 4 is not a very complicated game and is suitable for all kinds of audiences, from the youngest to the oldest. It is not very long, its duration will range between 8 and 10 hours, depending on how skilled we are. It will make us enjoy very good times thanks to its wonderful visual section and its entertaining puzzles.

Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is good on its own, but it is in co-op where it truly shines the brightest.

The combination of on-screen beauty, intuitive puzzle design, great gameplay and charming characters makes Trine 4, one of the best platformer-puzzle title’s I have personally played. Trine 4, is not to be whimsically missed, and deserves every bit of your attention and will be remembered as a platforming pleasure that will gratify anyone looking for a completely casual experience.

The Trine series, born back in 2009 from the Frozenbyte production company, has captured the attention of the public with its puzzle version of the Platform. But this is not the only peculiarity of this video game: what has struck most is in fact the possibility of using different characters with their specific skills. Who has never played the previous chapters does not have to worry, the chapters almost always start from a new adventure.

Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince, in addition to causing us an unexpected surprise when it was announced, has returned coming back to the right path that perhaps should not have left in the third part. Evolving all the good things about Trine 2, but borrowing the qualitative improvement from the audiovisual section of Trine 3, we find a beautiful game, with a very well-designed gameplay that will delight anyone who comes close to it.

Trine 4 goes back to the series' roots, with a sequel that brings welcoming gameplay additions. Despite the technical problems it is an extremely enjoyable and dun experience, especially in co-op.

I enjoyed my time in the world of Trine 4. The puzzles are engaging, the world is attractive, and there are few puzzle platform games with local co-op out there. There were a few issues here and there, but I recommend Trine 4 to anyone looking for a game to play with a friend.

Trine 4 is a great success. It’s strange coming into a series so late and being able to get so much enjoyment out of it. But here I am, fully recommending anyone with previous experience with Trine, and those who are just fans of fun puzzle platforming games, to check this one out.

Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is a very safe sequel, but after the less than good third entry, it's exactly what the series needed

A worthy sequel to the Trine series, Trine 4 features eye-catching visuals, creative mechanics for characters and puzzles, and an entertaining story that makes it an enjoyable experience for players. The Sole drawback in Trine 4 is its flawed combat system, which could have been enhanced to provide players with a more enjoyable and challenging experience.

Trine 4 is the best game in the franchise, and a refreshing return to the series' roots after the ambitious-but-flawed third installment.
