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

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.

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.

With this new title, Frozenbyte has chosen to leave aside the semi-disappointing 3D experimentation of the previous part to focus on the 2.5D action / reflection formula that made its success. We find what makes the series so charming, with its enchanting universe, its trio of heroes with complementary capabilities and the opportunity to live this adventure up to four, locally or online. If the regulars of the series will grumble perhaps a little considering the few important innovations proposed by this new episode, Trine 4 remains an independent game very pleasant by his concept, his aspect, his lightness.

Great for newcomers and harmless for fans, the fourth chapter of the Frozenbyte saga is a good adventure game, which will accompany you to the end with a calm and reasoned course, undermined only by an imprecise combat system and a formula that reiterates itself too similarly.

Trine 4 re-establishes the series as a leader in the genre. I can't remember the last time I played a puzzle game that made me feel so smart and satsified. It's magical world is full of wonderful inhabitants

From start to finish, Trine 4 is a remarkably absorbing and beautiful experience that’ll keep you challenged and interested right through to the finish, while also offering a fair bit to keep you coming back for a couple hours after the credits roll.

Trine 4 feels like a return to what made the series great to begin with. A beautiful world filled with challenging (but not too difficult) puzzles to solve, combined with drop-in/drop-out co-op, makes for a great game to play with friends. Some puzzles were perhaps not fully tested, but a simple reset usually rights things again. If you were a fan of the gameplay in the 2.5D Trine games, you'll find a lot to love here.

Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is a treat for fans of the puzzle genre. While its combat is flawed and some power-ups overpowered, it has intriguing solutions to a myriad of enigmas. If that is all you want out of a series that is known for its mysteries, then pick up the latest entry. It will keep you guessing and pondering until the credits roll.

Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince's bad combat and clunky controls can't bring down an immensely satisfying experience. With excellent puzzles, clever new mechanics, and sumptuous visuals, Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is another superlative entry into an increasingly underrated series.
