I haven't played the 5th game yet, but the 4th game has already managed to be the best of the series for me. Also, turning from the 3D platform game they made in the 3rd game to a classic 2D platform game is definitely one of the best decisions made. Many features that we are familiar with from the 3rd game are also present in the 4th game, and some mechanics specific to some sections and characters have diversified the gameplay in terms of both puzzles and gameplay. In terms of graphics and lighting, the game has a more cell-shaded and cartoonish structure, and I must say that this touch suits the series quite well. The level designs and puzzles did not disappoint, but the combat sequences were kept very short and especially since Zoya did not have the ability to draw a fast bow, it often caused her to be inactive in combat. But I won't dwell on it too much. It has become more diverse and entertaining, especially when it comes to boss battles. As for the story, instead of the story left unfinished in the 3rd game, this time we are presented with a scenario in which we save the young prince from his nightmares. Even though it is a cliché scenario where we encounter the evil version of the prince, I am not going to get too hung up on the story in such a game. In conclusion, Trine 4 brings the series to a much better place by taking what the first 2 games did to a higher level. It is a game that has compensated for the mistakes made especially in the 3rd game and thought about how to take the good features of the game to a higher level. If you like the series, I definitely recommend you play the 4th game.
