There are game series that fly under the radar of the general public but leave a lasting impression on those who discover them. Trinity is one of those. Launched discreetly in 2009, the saga imagined by the Finnish studio Frozenbyte has evolved over the years to become a reference in the 2.5D cooperative platform gamehalfway between a fairy tale and a magical puzzle.
To end the year 2025 well, Epic Games Store offers free first four episodes of the series in a complete edition: the Trine Classic Collection. The perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in an enchanting universe which, beneath its gentle appearance, hides a real challenge of coordination and reflection.
Trine, a simple mechanic serving ingenious gameplay
The Trine formula is based on a concept that is as clear as it is effective: three heroes, three skills, an adventure to experience alone or with others. The player alternates between Amadeus the magician, Pontius the knight And Zoya the thiefeach with their own abilities.
One levitates objects, the other destroys obstacles, the last uses its grappling hook to reach distant areas. Each level requires you to juggle between these talents to progress. In solo, you play all three in turns. In local co-op, each player chooses their role, and communication becomes key.
A look back at four games, four very different proposals
The collection offered includes:
- Trine Enchanted Edition (remaster of the original game),
- Trine 2: Complete Story,
- Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power,
- Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince – Definitive Edition.
The first two episodes are classics of the genre. Visually sumptuous for their time, they shine above all for their balance between puzzles, platforms and narration. Trinity 2 in particular is often considered the artistic peak of the saga.
Trinity 3 marks a risky turning point with the introduction of full 3D. If the intention was laudable, the result divided the community: shortened content, less precise gameplay, fragile immersion.
Faced with these criticisms, Frozenbyte is going back to basics with Trinity 4longer, more careful, more faithful to the DNA of the series. Without reinventing the wheel, this final episode (excluding Trine 5, not included) completes the cycle with elegance.
Why this collection deserves your attention
In addition to being free, this collection has the merit of offering a rare co-op experience on PCaccessible without any particular skills, but deep enough to appeal to those who love challenges.
It is also an excellent medium for introducing new players to video games: playable as a duo on the same screen, with intuitive gameplay and enchanting visuals, Trine is a bridge between generations.
Add to that a light narration, successful dubbing and an immersive soundtrack, and you get a series that has survived the years without losing its magic.
