Despite the occasionally wonky animations, Trine is beautiful and a well-executed puzzler, and has an achievement (The Cool Way) that was one of the first in a long time that I've been genuinely proud to get.

I didn't buy this game expecting to enjoy it the way I have been. "Cute" is the first word that comes to mind to describe it, and the next is "hilarious". The gameplay is a bit over-and-over-again, but it doesn't suffer from that disease peculiar to Japanese RPGs where they use about three orders of magnitude more than they have to for all the stats, and the writing is entertaining enough that I'm willing to say it's good.

Better than the original ArmA II: I like the desert setting more, and the gameplay is just as good. The thinking man's modern warfare shooter/squad combat simulator/military hardware playground.
