“A lovely Trine game (as always). Also nicely paced (30-45 Min sessions). Perfect for those of us who have a busy schedule and just want a short burst of puzzle fun in the evening to wind down. Full recommendation. Thank…”
“5th entry in this now established fantasy art galery filled with physics based puzzles and occasionnal okayish combat and it stays true to the known formula, perhaps a little too much now. Every scenery, every landscape…”

“Pretty fun coop game. It is fairly long and it took us around 20 hours to finish the whole thing. Last boss was not as good as previous entries where boss was on the same level as dark souls in terms of difficulty. Fun…”

“This game is really fun to play. The graphics is isnane and is the story. I cant wait for the next game to come out from FrozenByte”
“Really good game to play solo or with friends. I was playing with husband and experience that we had was AAAMAAAZING. Graphics 10/10, gameplay 10/10, bosses 10/10, story 10/10. Highly recommend it to play!!!”
“Back to the roots! This is Trine the way you remember it, in 2.5D, and it feels great! The story is simple, but charming enough to keep things moving. And the narrator is fantastic as always. ... Honestly, it wouldn’t…”

“This has got to be the longest adventure yet! It was never about quantity with Trine though but they have filled nearly 30 hours of high quality content into Trine 5. Anyone that's looking for a casual adventure puzzle…”

“Another slam dunk in this series, great fun from start to finish. The story is kinda stupid, but the game is beautiful, the actors did fantastic work, the abilites are some of the most unique in the series and all fun…”
“While the puzzles were not quite as good as 4, I still always enjoy my time with the Trine games. Story was a bit dramatic for the trio, but it ended on a silly note which felt more in line.”

“It's super fun. there is still some jankiness around connectivity on coop but level design and puzzle quality is really wonderful”
“More Trine, all the same, Bugs continues, physics online problems continues”
“Somehow, after finally nailing it in Trine 4, Frozenbyte managed to make the sequel worse in every ascpect: the controls are clunky, the puzzles are exhaustingly boring, players are disconnected randomly when playing…”

“Wonderful game. You really get your money's worth. The longest trine game by far, and the puzzles are very challenging and the level design is fun and diverse.”
— a player, Steam review · 29 hrs played“Trine 5 - A Clockwork Conspiracy is a superb entry in the franchise, it has become my 2nd favourite game in the series after Trine 2. The level design is phenomenal as usual, it has everything you expect from a Trine game, nice graphics (for a 2.5D side scrolling platformer of…”
— a player, Steam review · 22 hrs played“While better than the previous couple of games, the game still has too much hand holding, even if the 'puzzle assist time' is set to never. If it's set to never that means I want NO hints, not just 'not often'. While I imagine this one still has Epic Gaming 'Services' attached…”
