After discovering Trine 5 with friends to play in co-op, we explored the whole series. Trine 1, 2, 4 and 5 are great. Skip this one, Trine 3. Seriously. The gameplay is buggy, the story is unfinished and ends with a cliffhanger, doesn't tie into the series and even Trine 4 makes fun of it. Thankfully it was on sale. Check out the other four parts though Edit: we also finished it in 4 hours
