No matter how many words are rattling around in my head like angry wasps, footage of Trine 2 tends to soothe me to the extent that only synonyms for ‘pretty’ exist, along with the bare essentials to string those synonyms into sentences. It’s a bonny game, which makes something as simple as a box falling apart seem like the culmination of a particularly gentle and picturesque fairy tale. The footage below highlights the Unlimited game mode, which allows co-operative play with characters of the same class, allowing three thieves to swing through resplendent forests, or three wizards to calmly rearrange the delicate and comely features of the world.
There’s a summary of Humble Bundle goodness at the end of this video as well. At the time of writing, there are under 15 hours left on the current deal and to receive the Frozenbyte pack, which includes the first Trine, you’ll need to pay above the average, which currently stands below $4.50. A ludicrous and indeed pulchritudinous price.

A NEW The Colour of Magic ga- !??
Oh, Trine 2.
Yeah, looks pretty.
I like that it has online coop now.

Dying to get this. Would online co-op for the original be impossible to add?

Just very hard.

It wouldn’t be terribly hard to just recreate all the trine 1 levels in the new engine, though.

if a level edit exists maybe someone could just edit the old levels into a custom map.
edit: what he said.

Now that you mention it, I’d love to se the Magicka guys appear somewhere in Trine, probably burning something unintentionally.

Tempted to create a Rock, Paper, Trinity Steam-group for this for the online co-op.

Just played through the first game very recently and did I have some magical time. Hope I will be enchanted to the same extent with the sequel.

Spellbinding.

It’ll be charming, I’m sure.

I’m Trine to resist makin’ a pun, but I can’t.

Me and My girlfriend can’t wait for this. The first one is one of those games that doesn’t really have any problems. This looks even better. <3 < 3 <3

Damn, my prepaid card is almost empty. I’ll feel terrible for paying 10 cents… Guess i’ll buy the next one for at least 10 bucks.

It’s probably just me, but does the guy/gal in white have a huge beard and breasts?
