detail enamored Enigma Jump & Run

I know no idea how to start. I am so excited and surprised by Trine 2. I did not know the predecessors and unfortunately came across by chance on Youtube on the game. But after I saw a trailer, I wanted to know about this game more.

First of all I would like to highlight the price / performance ratio. What you get for the quite reasonable price here is really top notch. In my article is the Trine 2 Collector's Edition for the PC and the following is included:

- Trine 2
- Soundtrack DVD
- Artbook with lovely graphics and sketches
- Download Code for Trine 1

So if that is not even worthy of praise, then I do not know.

Now to the game itself:
Contrary to expectations, it concerns with Trine 1 + 2 is not a simple Hüpfspiel but a puzzle-adventure with combat and Hüpfeinlagen.
One does not jump easily undemanding through levels, but must solve with the forces of the three characters different puzzles to move forward. The riddles and puzzles begin to move with objects, switch lever, break through walls, redirect water flows, disable fire walls or redirect and go up to deceive opponents or airflows use etc. etc. pepe. Especially the collection and search of energy balls, experience points, treasure chests or life juices drives a to hours of Sample and search operations.

Each of the three characters (wizard, thief, and knight) has individual skills, which can also be expanded with the help of collected energy. In order to tackle the puzzles and obstacles, you need the skills of all three characters. Especially the magician proves to be very useful. This can namely so move all sorts of stuff and levitating through the area, Conjure boxes and bridges and bring opponents to float. But the other two characters have their useful side (see product description).

The control is particularly intuitive and accessible. It takes just a few keyboard buttons and his mouse (optionally with Gamepad playable) to master all actions. And that goes easy on the hand. Even the change of the characters is particularly simple (in single player always runs only a figure in multiplayer are all visible).

The story is not complicated, but it tells lovingly. Often it is a storybook and several hand-drawn and animated graphics easy to use, which in part also the charging time of the level bridges, but also gameplay sequences are present in order to advance the story. The story itself is not particularly new or highlight value, but makes through the gameplay and gameplay a lot of fun.

The technology is beyond any doubt. What you have created because of level design, surpasses anything I've ever seen. Scary beautiful fantasy / fairytale worlds, who let me often breath away. Since you can sometimes just stop to enjoy the look. Then there are the special lighting atmosphere and an incredible number of special effects that add value to the whole lot and create a unique atmosphere that presents a wide range of enchanting to bleak. The level and character models are designed very detailed and complex, the textures are all very sharp and on my system it was no stuttering, even at the highest settings. For which there is great opponents and bosses that provide small to huge everything.

A big plus is the physics engine in the game. This calculated very beautiful as objects relate to each other and to govern movements and actions. This is quite realistic, raises the claim of the game and looks great.

My system is an Intel Q6600, 4GB RAM, AMD HD6850 1GB graphics and 500GB HDD. For the technique that offers the game, it runs absolutely clean and the hardware requirements are very humane.

All in all, the game for me reference of all J & Rs that I've played. Straight and surprisingly because it is not a simple Hüpfspiel flat but progress is made only by puzzling and trial and error. And some Knobeleien have really something.

However, I still have three downer. Firstly restarts play the platform "Steam" ahead, which means an additional software on the PC. Well at least it is not EA's spy software Origin.
Secondly, there were a few moments when playing also came up a little frustration. For the unfamiliar guesswork and Try also led often times unwittingly to many deaths. This is the context, but not bad, because the checkpoints are very well distributed and one even after the death of all three figures just from the last CP carries on again on the current state of the level. A real game over there is not, so to speak.

And then there are the contents of the treasure chests. There you will find only very short and simple poems and many artworks from the development time of the game. If you have the artwork book the Collector's Edition, you can start with these little content. But ok, the search for it is exciting enough.

Ok, a lot written, little overview available. Here, then again everything in embroidery points:

Pro:
