Trine 2

[Twisted Metal]

Bought two copies of this for me and my nephew and it has been an absolute blast. Watch for Steam sales, and when this title goes on sale, BUY IT. It will be the best $3.74 you will ever spend. There's also a free demo. :tup:

Graphics are absolutely spectacular and gameplay is casual enough to jump in at any time. Great mix of puzzle solving and goblin slaying action.

I'm also *really* looking forward to "The Cave" which looks similar, but it's from the guy who did Monkey Island.

well it's certainly beautiful.
shame I cannot get into side-scrollers. doesn't matter how good they look or how well they handle. just can't do it. pretty sure I haven't played a side-scroller since SEGA Genesis.

maybe someday if I do a lot of traveling and only have my laptop with me, I'll have to go back and remember these kinds of games so I have something very casual to play.
but on a desktop? can't get into it. spoiled I guess.

The expansion is also totally worth it btw. It's even more beautiful than the base game.

for sure you need a controller for this one.

Only to play local multiplayer.
Mouse and keyboard controls work very well and at least for the sorcerer they're more efficient too.
