You should never judge a book by its cover, even if it is one of the most gorgeous covers you've ever seen.
It’s obvious that Trine 2 is trying to impress. The bright and vibrant visuals paint a particularly lovely picture and the music is appropriate – thunderous at times and ambient at others. The production values suggest it may be one of the best puzzle platformers released in quite some time, but after digging a little deeper it only proves that you can't judge a game by its looks alone.
