Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Even the small narrations are just very well implemented and I like the conversations between the characters teasing each other.
120 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I've played all parts of Trine so far and still love them (even Trine 3, tho many disagree with the 3D graphics which can be annoying at times, yes), not only for their stunning graphics, but also for fun all of the puzzles give.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Even though there are a few areas that interrupt this by suddenly being a little too complicated or intense, overall its gameplay is very good.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
- There's a save game bug (at least in co-op).

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
Which I'm sure would be great in multiplayer which I hope to check out once I force my friends to buy it :P The combat is a bit of a mixed bag but these games aren't really about the combat.
