Испытание скукой: Обзор Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy

После экспериментальной и достаточно короткой третьей части авторы Trine решили вернуться на проторенную дорожку оригинала. Вот только найти сегодня преданного фаната серии очень сложно, хотя Trine 4 и получила положительные отзывы от критиков. Поэтому неудивительно, что и пятую часть мало кто заметил на фоне шквала из осенних релизов.

Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy - Better with Friends nomination!

Better with friends, and a dash of magic! Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy invites you and up to three companions to embark on a spectacular cooperative adventure. Picture this: a knight, a wizard, and a thief walk into the fray—no joke, just the trio of heroes you can embody in this thrilling journey.

As Amadeus the Wizard, Zoya the Thief, or Pontius the Knight, each player can leverage their unique skills and abilities to conquer the myriad platform challenges that Trine 5 throws their way. Together, they'll navigate intricate puzzles, tackle formidable foes, and confront menacing bosses—all in the name of thwarting a clockwork conspiracy. Because let's face it, everything's better with friends, especially when magic is involved!

Thank you for your Steam Awards nomination!
