So recently, me and my mates bought Trine 2 on steam sales (For 7 bucks, the original price is around 15?) and found it incredibly fun. We've been playing it for about 4 hours into the game, and time is going incredibly quick for all of us because of how fun it is. It's challenging to the mind,has a lot of funny situations and has an INCREDIBLY beautiful environment I was wondering if anyone in TL has Trine 2 as well. For an Indie title, this game is superb, just superb. It's so amazing and the game and graphics are better than some non-indie title games. We've all been having a lot of fun in this thing and we'll be playing it more obviously. I was wondering if anyone else in Teamliquid owned Trine 2? Perhaps we can play together (Unfortunately I can't add people on steam as my copy of the game was gifted)

Wikipedia description of Trine 2:

Trine 2 is a puzzle platform video game, requiring the player to use the skills of the three characters, Amadeus the wizard, Zoya the thief, and Pontius the knight, to cross each game level. As with the first game, the mystical "Trine" has bound the three characters together into one common entity, and thus the player controls only one character which can be switched to the other two at any time. Each of the characters has unique abilities: Amadeus can use magic to grab onto certain objects in the game world, and create boxes and planks to be used to get around; Zoya can strike at objects with her arrows, and grapple onto certain surfaces; and Pontius is strong in combat against foes, can bash apart walls, and deflect projectiles with his shield. A combination of these elements are necessary to complete each stage in the game's world.
Characters have individual life meters, and if one character's meter depletes, that character cannot be used until the next checkpoint is reached. If all three characters lose their life meter, the player must start back at the last checkpoint. Throughout the game world are special magical vials, and for every fifty of these collected, the player receives a skill point, which can be used to gain abilities through a skill tree for each character. These skill points can be used collectively for each of the three characters, and can be traded between them.
Trine 2 also supports up to three players in a cooperative mode. In this mode, each player controls one of the three characters, but all must be unique; three players will be forced to play as Amadeus, Zoya, and Pontius. Two players can switch characters as long as both agree to the swap. If a character dies, the other players can revive the character at the next checkpoint. The skill tree is shared among all characters, based on the hosting player's saved game.

I'm starting to wonder If I should make this thread into the Sports&Games section.

Positives of this game
-Puzzling, creates a lot of original and unique puzzles.
-Creates a lot of hilarious situations.
-Plays three different roles
-Linear platformer (I love linear platform games)
-Very cheap
-Incredibly beautiful environment.
-Wow, the music. God I love the music.

Negatives of the game:
-The fighting system is decent but not great
-Would like to see more than just goblins to fight
-Game is buggy sometimes (I died at a teleporter and I revived standing upside down the platform)
-Limited range of upgrades, I suppose.
