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.
