Lost Fragments

A Wizard, A Thief and A Knight. 3 different characters, joined together in a Trine to defeat the evil throughout the land and bring back peace to their kingdom. With all the games to finish in my Backloggery, I managed to find some courage to buy this game. Released price at USD40.00 and released on PSN for just USD20.00, it goes down to USD14.90 before its finally priced at USD9.90 (at the time I bought it). After playing the game for some time now, I felt like I've cheated someone to get my hands on the game. I almost felt sorry for the developer. This is one of the best platform game I have ever played in my whole life, and I got it dead cheap!.
Trine is about managing all of your skills and putting it to good use whenever you are needed to. The wizard can conjure plank, box, or axles and move stuff with his magic (telekinesis). The thief can swing from place to place, fire her arrows and move as swift as the wind. The knight has a durability of a tank and can pack mean punches and then some. He also has a shield in which he can deflect enemy fire or fireballs. Having this group as a team surely had created an image in my mind of having a character that had mastered intelligence, agility and strength regardless of the character type. Though only one character can be manifested at one time, the others can be manifested on demand. Meaning that you can create a wood type axle in the air and have the thief grab it with her rope and swing away. The knight can block enemies projectiles and then switch to the thief for some arrow vengeance
When you are playing multiplayer, its a whole different dynamic. You can now have 2 character at the screen and make up for some advantage or disadvantage at your side pertaining on your skill level. Batrisyia and I had wonderful time with this game. She would use her favourite character (Thief) which she would refer to as sister. And she would always want me to use the Wizard in which she refers to as "Grandfather". I would conjure some plank, and raise her from the ground like a magic carpet should she felt insecure to do some jump / fighting enemies. I occasionally would switch to the Knight (which she refers to as "Brother" ) to whack some skulls when the need arises.
In another note, after witnessing some improvement in thinking and problem solving that Batrisyia had shown throughout the game, I've decided to let her have her own DS3. The Titanium Blue.

I'm trying to finish playing Trine tonight and maybe Platinum it.
