Trine: Co-Op or Solo?

From what I remember from podcasts like Idle Thumbs and the Bombcast, Trine is something best played by yourself. 2 player co-op is alright, but the 3 player mode is not great at all.

if you find a partner the game would be a lot funnier to play but when two people try to solve a puzzle, it usually ends up becoming a bit of a mess so I would say try it solo but if ur looking for a laugh and put on a bit of a show the co op is perfect

Just make sure you play THE WIZARD

Fun solo but nothing in comparison to co-op play.

Just played it a bit on PC. Single player is good, but I could see how annoying it could get if the other player wasn't good at 2d adventure puzzle solving. Could be fun though if you pick someone you know to be good at stuff like that.

i recommend playing by yourself : what if the person u pick is a butthole o_O

The game is fun solo and I prefer it this way. Too much going on with a second person.

I played through the game solo, and I definitely felt i missed out on clever ways to solve puzzles by having the luxury of flipping between the characters at will.

So my vote goes for Multiplayer.

I had fun with single player.

I'm not sure if coop would be that great; Having two people to solve the puzzles make most of them far too easy; All you would have to do is have the wizard make a box and then float it across everything, have the wizard die, and have the other player hit a checkpoint.

Single player gives you the rewarding feeling of having figured out a puzzle by your self, having done the platforming alone, with no one else's help.

You can flip between the characters at will in 2-player as well. Adding a second or third player just means that whoever's playing which character has a job to do, and your success is completely dependent on theirs, and vice-versa.

It's more funnier with three people simultaneously solving a puzzle.

From my experience, if you want a more frustrating and satisfying experience, coop. If you want an easier and sort of boring experience, solo. Also, if you don't want to lose friends, play the last level solo.

can you play coop online?

I would say play with someone, for purely selfish reasons on my part. Some of the funniest and most broadcastable moments have come from your interactions with/tormenting of a partner. Let the lols roll.

1 player is the best. I think it is intended to be like that so there is more of a strategy sort of element. It's basically like Lost Vikings where you had to use different vikings for certain parts.

I really enjoyed playing co-op with a friend. Granted, we were both sitting right next to each other and could whack one another when the other fucked up and we could communicate easily.

I didn't play much of single-player, but the little I did do I enjoyed. I think it's a little more satisfying to play with a friend, though. Not many games can do co-op as well as Trine does, it's a bit of a shame to pass it up.

That being said, I totally want in if you need a partner. :D
