Why do people who hate video games design video games?
Everything about this game is frustrating and poorly implemented. The movement, control, environment interactions all were designed by people who have simply no interest in video games. The sliding, the poor physics, the multiple commands that are required with the same hand all demonstrate that Trine 2 is a game to be seen, not to be played.
I absolutely hate garbage like this. It looks great, but I'd rather play an 8 bit platformer with excellent controls than this POS.
It's just one extreme frustration after another.
The people who developed this game have never played video games in their lives.
