July 2025

This is a puzzle game like no other. I play a lot of first person puzzle games and I’ve encountered no game to compare this game with. Its core puzzle mechanics are unique. The implementation of these core puzzle mechanics are well done. The level design is very creative and every level is significantly different than the previous one. The levels are quite large also. All in all this is a good game and certainly worth playing if you like an original puzzle game. But there is one word of caution and that is that this game is very long and you are probably going to get stuck many times not knowing how to proceed. It took me a long time to get far into the game. So long that I actually stopped playing the game at one point. I only picked it up many months later and then spent many hours finishing the game. I’m glad I finished the game but boy did it take a lot of effort. I got stuck many times which is one of the reasons it took so long. But in the end I only used outside help twice to be able to proceed. You need a lot of patience and experimentation to finish this game. From the steam achievements I know that only 6.3% of players finished the game. Is it a good puzzle game? Absolutely! But I do have a bit of a love / hate relationship with it.

I think madness is appropriate word to use in the title, because this game was HARD. It seems simple enough in the beginning, but then the puzzles get really complicated and involve a lot of trial and error. I'd say it's the "Dark Souls" of first-person puzzle platformers, and if you're looking for one of those games in that high difficulty, this is definitely it.

this game may slightly turn part of your brain into goop this is a fantastic surreal/abstract puzzle game, adjusting triangles you have placed is very fluid and feels very polished, also the color change indication, that let's you know you can walk on them, is a very nice touch. some of the levels are mind boggling and hard but really fun to figure out. the art is gorgeous. while the story is predictable it's lovely and feels well paced.

I bought this when it was released and played until chapter 14, I think. Then I got stuck in something, which needed me to act a bit too fast. I still enjoyed the game a lot. Yesterday I started a new game and was going to just play a bit, and played 5 hours straight. I'm getting stuck, falling a lot and my finger joints hurt (no controller support), but the game is still fun. Although this time it seems I got stuck a lot earlier (maybe I'm even slower than 10 years ago). The basic idea of making your way around by creating triangles is different from other puzzle games and gives you some freedom in making your own way around, which is always fun. So, still enjoying the game and not bothered by the fact that I will never manage to reach the end in this game.

Aug. 2024

I picked this up years and years ago and finally, around its 10 year anniversary, put in the hours to beat it. Tri offers a really interesting and unique traversal mechanic that I'm surprised I haven't seen elsewhere. It might have benefited from being shorter -- especially in the later levels, the apparent solution to collecting certain idols requires some unsatisfying tedium. But definitely try this out if you're looking for a puzzle platforming type game that is still fresh a decade later.
