Reception and Sales
Trine has received generally favorable reviews, with a Metacritic score of 80% and 83% for the PC and PlayStation 3 version, respectively. Trine won GameSpot's Editor's Choice award at Electronic Entertainment Expo 2009.
PC Format magazine praised the game's "stunning attention to detail throughout", and added that its "beautifully fluid game mechanics are impossible not to appreciate." IT Reviews gave the game a Recommended award, and concluded: "Trine is an aesthetically pleasing and well executed puzzle platformer, with a distinct addictive streak when it comes to fully exploring the levels in order to upgrade your characters to their maximum power. When you're done with single player, the multiplayer mode adds extra life to the game, as the experience is genuinely different." IGN was more reserved, saying that "a lack of enemy variety, disappointing conclusion, and the wonky multiplayer keep Trine from greatness, but this is still a highly recommended puzzle platformer."
The Australian video game talk show Good Game's reviewers both gave Trine 7.5/10.
In February 2011 Frozenbyte told the Finnish financial newspaper Kauppalehti, that Trine has sold approximately 400,000 copies across all platforms. Later that year on December 8, 2011, shortly before the release of the sequel, they stated that sales of the game had by then grown to 1.1 million copies.

Famous quotes containing the words reception and/or sales:
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“The damned are in the abyss of Hell, as within a woeful city, where they suffer unspeakable torments, in all their senses and members, because as they have employed all their senses and their members in sinning, so shall they suffer in each of them the punishment due to sin.”
—St. Francis De Sales (1567–1622)
