Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons

Starbreeze Studios · 2013

  • Adventure
  • Puzzle

It's a short game and you can only play it with a controller! You control both brothers at the same time, one with each side of the controller. The idea is really cool, but it scrambles your brain and can end up being frustrating!

The review

** WARNING **

You NEED a controller to play, or your money will simply go down the drain!!!!

Brothers is a beautiful game, with different and really fun gameplay.

It has a certain emotional appeal that made a lot of people fall in love with it, and precisely because of that, I think this game is "overrated"...

The story is pretty weak and poorly developed, the game is very short (it feels like they got lazy about continuing it and skipped straight to the ending), and its puzzles are very simple and obvious.

In my opinion, it is a good game, but it could be much better, or at least have a more reasonable price.
