People are saddened by Trine 3 because of all it could be. The trine series could have evolved into a fantastic sidescrolling RPG puzzler. It did not in fact do that. It got super simple and ignored what people really liked about it.

Trine 3 is best played in 3D on a projector and 7.1 sound - the world springs to life into your room.
People complaining about the confusion in 3D probably didn't play the game the way it was meant to be played.

It's beautiful, although the last level's graphics felt rushed. Although it's 40% of what I expected, It's a fun 3D game, and nobody got motion sick playing it. If you liked Trine 1 and 2, you may like Trine 3 chapter 1. I hope the next two chapters come out with more proper trine elements.


Pros

• Another Journey into the Trine Universe
  
• Rope Tying mechanics
  
• Stomping stuff with the knight
  
• Fun 3 player couch multiplayer
  
• Great Graphics - plays like a 3D film.
  
• 1 super hard mini level.
  
• A weird Owl
  
• Fantastic Soundtrack. Worth the price of the game =)

Cons

• It's short
  
• Super easy puzzles - they felt like training puzzles
  
• No skill tree / levelin' up
  
• Requires trineangles for unlocking levels, not for skills
  
• 2D storybook level wasn't 3D at all, and got this game for the 3D.
  
• Incompetant enemies
  
• No more 3x mouse support
  
• No more cool achievements. Just completion achievments.

I'd love to play this game in VR with motion control, or even just with motion control. It could be magical.
