Packed to the brim with personality, atmosphere, and balls of steel, Trine 5 is prime puzzle-platformer action from start to finish, especially if you bring some friends along for the ride.

It's a new Trine, and there's a lot of it. It offers exactly what old fans of the series have come to expect and has all the makings of introducing new fans to the adventures of Amadeus, Zoya and Pontius.

For those looking for a fun and charming puzzle platformer to play, especially with friends, Trine 5 is the perfect choice.

In a series full of positively received games and support from players that have stuck with it for years, this is yet another great entry that's sure to leave players with a smile on their face.

Trine 5 A Clockwork Conspiracy is exactly the game we expected. It picks up the formula of the fourth chapter, introduces a few minor innovations and continues on its own path. It is a puzzle-platformer that is fun in solo and cooperative play, lacking in enemy characterization but still relying on the excellent trio of protagonists. Fans will not be disappointed.

Frozenbyte doesn't take many chances with Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy. It's another game based on the now familiar Trine script - there are a few new puzzles, new properties and the like, but basically it's much the same as before.

We need more of "Trine". Its 5th episode is for sure the more attractive, fun and enjoyable one from the license.

Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy continues to push the series back to its former glory. While the combat engine still needs some work, the platforming and puzzles will challenge both your mind and reflexes in satisfying ways. For a fifth entry, it’s nice to see the series still trying to produce compelling magical adventures.

Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy is just as beautiful as the series ever was, and the same charm is present and correct, but it's definitely beginning to wear a little thin.

Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy is a decent culmination of the series. The game offers plenty of mind-bending puzzles and still respects its platforming roots. While the combat still feels somewhat clunky, the game's visuals and puzzle difficulty more than makeup for it. The game is much more enjoyable with friends as they can solve puzzles more inventively.

Three heroes once again save the fairy tale world in a beautiful rendering. Once again - and once again it's fun. At half the price of the big projects, it's an option you shouldn't overlook if you're serious about puzzle platformers.

Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy is a welcome addition to the series. While it doesn’t add or change much when it comes to gameplay mechanics, it’s still enjoyable and challenging enough to be worth a look from anyone who likes an old-fashioned fairytale adventure with a twist.

All that being said, Trine 5 is still a fine old time for puzzle platformer fans, even if it does feel like a series that needs to evolve going forward. Its reliably refined puzzle platforming combination can still be a joy to get lost in, and that eureka moment when you finally stumble across a neat way in which to combine the abilities of its roster never fails to delight. Fans who just want more Trine will feel right at home with Trine 5, and if the goal of Frozenbyte was to continue to appease the core fanbase with another solid entry, then I think they’ve successfully achieved that.

Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy is another attempt to repeat the original without developing ideas. The game is literally stuck in outdated mechanics.

Trine 5 is just as conservative as its prequel, both in terms of mechanics, puzzles, and story, but that's by no means a disadvantage. This fifth installment continues to boast beautiful settings and super fun challenges to complete alone or with friends.
