Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Trine offers an appealing mix of classic gaming – think side-scrolling action studded with puzzles and platforming – and hi-tech physics.

Play is divided between three fairly stereotypical characters (a wizard, a thief and a knight) and each has their own, action-appropriate abilities, from magical spell-casting through to exploring and combat. Problem solving is a big part of the game and what’s refreshing is that there is always more than oneway to complete any challenge that encourages you to think creatively rather than just buttonbash yourway through. Trine is a retro treat with a modern flavour.
