"Sometimes, the past is best left undisturbed. But what if it catches up with us?" Adam Stevenson

Unfortunately that's a general truth,it's better to leave the past behind..but what happens when we can't?


I didn't know much about this game,i remember seeing a few screenshots on a friend feed and that was enough to make me buy it..and it turns out to be one of my best purchases here on steam. In my review i'll try to share my experience i had and the reasons why i believe this is a great game.

The Beast Inside is a psychological thriller game with elements of survival,puzzle solving and first person exploration. Featuring historical fiction and mystery our adventure starts with Adam and his wife at their new house uncovering the secrets and the dangers lurking around. Nicolas Hyde is a mysterious figure discovered through a diary that Adam finds in the present day. This sets the stage for a dual timeline style of game with two protagonists and the start of a dark and tragic story. One timeline features puzzle solving and exploration while the other offers more traditional survival horror gameplay, including evading enemies and managing limited resources.

The graphics are great ,the forest and the interiors looks amazing,there is beautiful art everywhere and the notes and texts you find are interesting and worth your time to read them. Doing so will help you understand both the past and the present!

I don't want to offer too many details about the story, i personaly enjoyed it a lot even If it's a little predictabile. There is a new puzzle or gameplay mechanic in each chapter,the controls are easy and for my surprise i had to defeat a few bosses along the way.

For me this was a small bargain,because i got it on a sale..there are hidden gems like this on Steam and it feels good when you find one.

The developers didn't tried to achieve perfection in any way, but rather to please the gamer. In a way my verdict for this is the same..I didn't feel i was playing a triple AAA game or the best game ever but it left me searching on Google for games like The Beast Inside..thats how great it was!

I strongly recommend this excellent little horror to everyone,it feels like a cinematic experience and it's a better experience than most movies anyway.

Pros:

-Great narrative
-Great graphics,beautiful art
-Dual timelines, multiple endings
-Sound design,tense atmosphere

Cons

-Linear gameplay

The 4th title from our beloved franchise is just as beautiful as the other Trine games with improvements in graphics and puzzles, this time a return to the roots of the series. I like the 2.5D approach and style, it feels more familiar and natural for this kind of game. This kind of format allows rich backgrounds and intricate level designs but also keeps the game simple and easy to navigate.

I hate puzzles and this is where you'll spend most of the time , utilizing physics based interaction and character specific skill there is also times where you need to switch between characters and experiment with different strategies.
I haven't tried the cooperative mode yet, because i didn't find a partner to play with me but single player experience was rich and rewarding. It was a stimulating adventure to pass certain puzzles and unlock new leves but it was worth my time and patience.

With a fairy tale aesthetic and beautiful layered backgrounds the game offers incredible amount of details and a perfect game for the screenshot hunters..
The hidden areas and collectibles covers the exploration part of the game.. rewarding curiosity with treasure chests, lore and background stories of course if you solve the puzzles to reach them.

In conclusion Trine 4 achieves originality by combining elements from earlier games with innovative ways of puzzle solving, a fresh but familiar experience with a decent narrative and unique charm.
