    In the ocean of remastered and remakes for their own sake, we are happy to be able to enthusiastically welcome the work done by Avantgarden on Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake, a graphic and sound remake which, in the opinion of the writer, should be the standard for those who aim to relaunch their works on the market. It is a reissue that exudes love for the work done by Josef Fares and his team, and therefore worthy of respect. Whether you know the work or not, as the credits roll, it will be impossible not to get caught up in the emotion.

    There’s not a lot here that’s new, so your mileage may vary, but Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake retains all the character and charm of the original in a sexy new dress.

    It’s much the same as fans will remember, but the Brothers remake pairs an already wonderful game with a stunning graphic overhaul and co-op multiplayer option.

    Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake is both an excellent opportunity for new players and entirely superfluous for those who already know the original.

    We often regard remakes and remasters as a corporate form of quick profit, but every now and then a unique title like Brothers Remake appears unexpectedly and you finally recognize what a true videogame labor of love is. It’s a project created with passion and true dedication of the authors to recreate something resembling the original as closely as possible and yet sprinkle here and there a little bit of originality and tiny improvements. Even though this tale of two sons is more than ten years old, this remake shows that it is still worth telling!
  6. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake stands out with its emotional story, unique gameplay. With the power of Unreal Engine 5, it is a unique opportunity for the new generation gamers to experience this magnificent story.

    If you already played Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, this remake isn’t really worth buying at full price. If you’re new to the game, I recommend this remake as your first experience. After a few updates and improvements on Steam Deck, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake is definitely worth grabbing. I’ve enjoyed revisiting it after many years, and the co-op feature has been a nice surprise, though I still think it works best as a solo experience.

    Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake feels like a homage to the fans of this emotional story with beautiful visuals and denser environments. It's also the perfect time for those who didn't try it to join the fanbase.

    Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons Remake reintroduces a great little cult game of the recent past with an appreciable graphic makeover, and basically that is enough to make it a recommended game even today.

    A remaster of the all-time classic game Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Brothers Remake is perfectly passable, but its many flaws mean it misses the point by a few metres.

    Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake is not a bad game, but it never manages to justify its existence or even why the player should buy this version instead of the original.
