Reception

Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy is another attempt to repeat the original without developing ideas. The game is literally stuck in outdated mechanics.

Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy is a perfect continuation in the saga. A title that knows where it comes from and where it wants to go and that allows the franchise to take a step forward in the right direction. An even bigger game, longer and full of well-designed and posed challenges and puzzles.

It stands to reason that if you liked the previous Trine games, you'll still like this one, and that probably goes double if you've got three friends to play with. Unfortunately I don't have three friends to play with, and I can't deny the dull and frustrating experience I had with it. Between poor puzzle design and combat that doesn't seem to belong...

If you've enjoyed the Trine series up to this point then you are in for a treat, Trine 5 is by far the best entry yet, offering puzzles that are phenomenally inventive and an utter delight to solve. If you haven't taken the plunge yet with Trine, then now is the perfect chance. If only we could ditch the combat and have twice the puzzles, then truly...

Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy is a good contender for being the best title in this renowned series, thanks to the introduction of multi-phase boss battles and new abilities for our heroes.
