Oh boi. Bit of context. I've played and completed each of the games in this series. And I've enjoyed all of them.

Trine 5 starts off really well. It looks great, sounds great and plays just like the others in the series. No complaints. And then it keeps going. And going. And going. Now maybe I'm a rare case here as my free time is pretty limited, but by god this game doesn't end. And I think that's where I'm going to jump off.

I've got roughly 1/4 of the game to go, but I've totally lost interest in playing it anymore, to the point where I've youtubed solutions to the last hour or two's puzzles.

Whilst I do think this is more of a 'me' thing than a game thing, I do question the decision to not insignificantly increase the games length. Going from 8-12 hours to a game that's likely gonna take 15 is no mean feat.

So yeah. There's much to enjoy here, but for this tired dad of two, there's probably too much.
