You might use the thief to fire a rope and swing up to higher ground. For example, say you’ve got to get up to a high platform. What makes Trine 2 such a fun game is that you’re given a bag of tools and pretty much left to your own devices to figure it out. Players must use each of the three adventurers’ special abilities, switching between them on the fly, to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles to ultimately free the kingdom from the forces of darkness … again. Trine 2 follows the same formula as the original. The wizard can conjure up boxes out of thin air, the thief is armed with a trust hook and line to swing around, and the knight … well, the knight just likes to bash things with his sword and shield. The trio are bound together by the Trine and forced to make their way through a side scrolling world, each using his or her unique abilities to progress. These adventurers are all brought together by an artifact called the Trine. For those of you that missed out, though, here’s a quick rundown: A wizard, a thief, and a knight walk into a room … okay, I know this sounds like a bad D&D joke just waiting to happen, but bear with me. If you’re already familiar with the first Trine, then you’re already set for the sequel. Enter Trine 2, available now on Xbox LIVE Arcade, PlayStation Network, and as a PC download.
Luckily for gamers, Trine managed to make enough of a blip in the market for the right people to take notice and greenlight a sequel. Trine was a wonderful puzzle game that, unfortunately, slipped under most people’s radar. I want to love you Xbox Game Pass, but sometimes you make it so hard.If you missed Trine the first time around, it’s a shame … but understandable.
Or in this case, a clunky claw machine that drops your prize into another clunky claw machine (EA Play) through which you can eventually get your goodies. The Xbox app feels like one of those arcade claw machines filled with really great goodies that you need to brute-force, kick, or attempt several times before getting your prize. Looking at that list, it’s tempting to chirpily conclude that ‘Xbox Game Pass for PC is just the gift that keeps on giving’ and wish everyone a Happy Cyber Monday, but it's yet another indicator of what a weird, unwieldy experience it is. This list might quietly grow too, so be sure to check into the EA Play app, then set the filter to only show EA Play membership games to see if any new surprises pop up. Having trawled through the EA Play catalogue, here are all the EA Play games not listed in the Xbox app that Game Pass subscribers can play:
