First of all, I played Trine 5 in unlimited mode, local multiplayer and easy difficulty. I've also played Trine 1, 2 and 4 twice (both single player and local multiplayer) and Trine 3 once (single player). With those in mind, here are my thoughts and comparison.

* The story is somewhat fun, but not really memorable with 1 dimensional villain.
* Beautiful visual and 2.5D environment.
* Fairly good soundtrack.
* The game runs well on my Linux device.
* Better experience with generic controller, although I still prefer using keyboard and mouse.
* Zoya and Pontius have more skills to help platforming. I also like the fact Amadeus now has skill which can conjure up to 6 objects, although it's unlocked in late game .
* Easy difficulty is more forgiving than previous Trine games, especially during the combat.
* Many puzzles are easy, with the exception of a puzzle in act IV, chapter 13.

Steam says my playtime is 15 hours, but our actual playtime is only 14 hours since we took a few small breaks without exiting the game. Overall Trine 5 remains fun, although I also agree it lacks innovation/some positive change which makes the game feel stale or boring for some Trine fans.

Possibly the best in the series, with significantly better combat than previous in the series and less ramshackle, finicky puzzles.

Excellent puzzle platformer, probably the best in the series. The game is pretty long, but even up to the end comes up with new puzzles to be solved, with new abilities available every few levels. The combat is serviceable, and good at breaking up the puzzle sessions. The graphics are great as usual. Fun to play, both on solo or on coop.

Just awesome. Fun with friends, beautiful design - worth every cent.

I am playing this game with my dother and it`s simply amazing! It`s so fun to play!
A really good game!

Harder than the previous games, but still a lot of fun, with great dialogue and a funny story

I'm a great fan of the Trine series. I've waited 1 year with one of my friend so another friend would buy this game so we can play full game and everybody has their character.

很好的亲子游戏~
