Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince returns the series to its side-on 2.5D style. Three heroes, Amadeus the wizard, Pontius the knight and Zoya the thief, set out to find a runaway prince whose bad dreams are spilling out into the world. Their journey passes through bright fairytale scenery full of physics puzzles and some combat with shadowy creatures.
Each hero has distinct abilities, and puzzles are solved by switching between them or combining their skills. Trine 4 can be played alone or with up to three friends in online or local split-screen co-op, where solutions often become more inventive. The pace is relaxed and the tone is warm, making it a good pick for couples, families and puzzle fans.
