Trine is a physics-based fantasy platform adventure that looks really rather good. The press blurb explains the main concept: “Trine is a fantasy action game where the player can create and use physics-based objects to beat hazardous puzzles and threatening enemies. Set in a world of great castles and strange machinery, three heroes are bound to a mysterious device called the Trine in a quest to save the kingdom from evil…”
Anyway, that physics action makes it a rather splendid puzzler – a kind of Crayon Physics meets Prince Of Persia – so take a look at the trailer after the jump for elucidation. The game is due to hit in Q2 next year.

The opposite. With the control system they’re showing, I don’t think it’d work at all on a console.

Positively awesome
You mean it’s not about building a railway across Australia?

Really rather good?
Yes?
Really rather good is a staple comment for games that are genuinely good looking due to gameplay, rather than the generic “it looks good”. Should be in the dictionary really.
This looks fun in the way World of Goo makes you coo everytime you complete a level. I’d be interested in seeing where this leads…
looks alright, but I would really like to see a more 3d game on this premise.
I think it looks splendid, and the waterwheel/plank physics had me giggling with girlish glee.
Btw, the end of the cinematic clearly promises “Coming to Playstation Network and PC”.
The one comparison that immediately hit me was not to Overlord but to Blizzard’s The Lost Vikings (three classes, each with differing special abilities all of whom have to work together and be swapped between, in order to bypass different interesting environments). Sure Vikings used a cartoony graphics style and this looks very much more pretty, but you know, I would have expected that after 16 years. From a gameplay perspective though, these look very similar.
