Trine 2 is an absolutely stunning game, hitting almost every note on the graphical spectrum. Textures are clean and pristine, the colours are varied and beautiful and the light manages to illuminate the world in a way not often seen even in games by much bigger developers. If that was the only thing you could say about Trine 2 – and there's MUCH more you could say about it – then it'd probably be enough to warrant a purchase.
And the graphical prowess of developer Frozenbyte has been acknowledged by the Nordic Game Awards, where they rewarded Trine 2 with the award for Best Artistic Achievement. Now whether they were simply talking about the graphics or the game as a whole is debatable, but the whole thing really is a masterclass in interactive entertainment.
Happy with the award, Frozenbyte released the following statement:
The Giant Frog latches onto the Best Artistic Achievement at Nordic Game Awards 2012….Famous for its tell-tale gaze and gorgeous looks, the Giant Frog simply smiled happily at the award, before getting distracted by another plump fruit dropping down from the canopy. The Giant Frog ate the fruit. Then it smiled some more, and dreamt of a Trine 2 expansion campaign coming later in the year, featuring even more fruits.
