Pros
Pro Gameplay excels with local co-op
While single-player mode is fun the game excels when playing the local co-op mode where 2 players can bicker and squabble over how best to move the chariot across the stage. This co-op mode definitely makes for a great time trying to figure out the puzzles when two people are both trying their own ideas, which can lead to funnily disastrous outcomes.
Pro Unique focus on carrying an item around each level, over traditional platforming
The goal of each stage it to carry around a sarcophagus to an end point. This can is done by using ropes to help pull the sarcophagus around each stage, which requires more thought over a traditional platformer where jumping from platform to platform is the only concern.
Pro Gorgeous art style that is very detailed
Trine has a very fairytale-esque art style that has a level of detail often not found in an indie game. Each environment has rich visuals with stunning lighting.
Pro Versatile multiplayer with its built in 3-player local and online co-op
The game can be played cooperatively with each player taking control of one of the three characters - thief, wizard and warrior.
Pro Great soundtrack
Cons
Con Enemies feel out of place with the games momentum
A puzzle platformer at heart, when enemies are thrown into the mix the game becomes quite frenzied, which takes the player out of the zone of just traversing stages to now haphazardly avoiding enemies.
Con Somewhat simplistic puzzles
The game includes mostly physics based puzzles, but they're not particularly challenging.
