Is Trine worthy and fun to play alone?

[Time Wizard]

Hi guys,

I was wandering around and catch this game. The screen shots are good and looked funny. I've read some reviews about this game, most of them are: the game is funny to play with friends but if you play alone as Knight, it's boring.
So I want to get your opinions about this game (inclucde new DLC)? The reason is I don't much friends to play with in steam at my country. There're only 675 players have bought the game on steam and my internet connection are not good in my country too...
I have a little spare money so I want to know if it's worthy.

Any opinions are welcome:D

Played both the first and second on my own. Sure, it will be pretty damn entertaining with friends, but it still is a fantastic game even solo.

Quite contrary to those reviews, if you're playing alone, you can really calm down and soak in the rich atmosphere and beauty of the game. In multiplayer, you'll probably end up rushing things and can't really proceed at a nice and pleasant pace.

There are different experience when you play alone, with friends/local coop and with friends/online coop.
I played all 3 modes and I think that local coop is easiest one and more forgiving. If you don't like puzzle then it's quite easy to skip.
For example we skipped mirrors' levels because we don't like them.

When you are playing alone you may stop playing when game starts be annoying. And with friends you can't start and stop playing as you wish...

I think that playing alone is best for solving puzzles and with friends for fast playthrough.

Thanks for valuable help!

The game looks like YS series for fighting and Brain for solving puzzles. I hope the soundtracks are good.

I think it's worthy for relaxing after work:D.

I'm... not gonna be replaying Trine 1 anytime soon, really. Trine 2? ...Well, once I go through the graphics .ini/.cfg/whatever I'll probably be much happier.

But yes, I never once regretted purchasing Trine, and Trine 2 (while lacking the accessories mechanic, sadly) is arguably better, even without multiplayer.

With friends? Now we're talking.

Trine 2 is fantastic with or without friends.

Well, I just bought the Trine Complete Pack. Downloading now (~50KB/s so slow from my country =.=).
Anyone fancy to have coop play, please add me as friend (I'm from ASIA so I think it's OK to play coop in the same region :D).
