Shiny!Visually Trine is quite amazing. Everything has been painstakingly crafted to visual quality level that beats most big budget titles. While Trine is a side scrolling platform game, everything is done in full 3D with state of the art shader effects and high resolution textures. The art has just a hint of cartoony style with characters and the backgrounds are just... shiny! It is like a pretty fantasy book that is alive and moving.
Interestingly, if you gimp down the visuals for extra performance, the underlying art style is still there - when dropping down from maximum settings, you first lose only some unimportant detail and only at low and very low settings the visuals turn a bit flat and even then lot of the charm is still intact.
 Lowest setting renders all the 3D at a lower resolution and proves that good art looks good even like this. Also, the game requires almost nothing from your hardware by today's standards. A fast single core CPU and a reasonably modern SM3.0 video card will get you all the pretty bits. Trine also downgrades gracefully for weaker systems. Lowest mode uses blocky low res 3D with high res HUD elements to ensure playable framerate even on something that I'd call obsolete, and does that without losing one bit in gameplay department. In practice, Trine runs on just about anything that supports shader model 2.0 - even on many laptops. YouGamers recommendation is what you need to max out the visuals at a high resolution, and even that doesn't ask much. Dual core, $100 card from last year... effectively nothing. On today's high end cards you can happily push AA and AF to ridiculous levels and still enjoy solid 60fps.
