    The game is very interesting and very emotional. About 80% of the game I passed myself, and the end has already passed with my brother. And when I started playing with my brother, I felt completely different emotions of the game.

    BIG NAGATIVE . I am not satisfied with the Graphic , it looks like old 3D game . Secondly I played alone , the walkthrough story and playable part is boring . what and I gonna to do with monotonous "WASD" and "SPACE" . It looks very familiar to A Plague Tale which is disappointing and waste my time . I feel like I have strong foreseen that I would easily figure out what's next screen andBIG NAGATIVE .

    It's a nice game. The storyline too.
    The mechanics of the game are nice, the game is a bit short and not very long, which is why I can't assign 8 but it's a game to try. I advise

    Good art style, but is not that good graphics for 2013. But this game bright on criativity, the "2 player" (but you play alone, and that is sad for the game) mechanics are good, simple puzzles, but works. Good and emotional history, the interactivity with the scenery is cool, the two caracthers are different and does different things,
    according to their personalities.

    No Spoilers here. I have to say while I played this short gem, I didn't quite get the good scores. You control the two brothers at the same time with the left and right analogue stick / bumper. You solve -not too hard but intuitive - puzzles in a beautiful designed linear world and are quite restricted in where you can go.

    I actually found controlling both annoying. Maybe it would have    No Spoilers here. I have to say while I played this short gem, I didn't quite get the good scores.

    I actually found controlling both annoying. Maybe it would have clicked some time, but after 3 hours I finished the game, so there never was enough time for that.

    That all said, the last part of the game was brilliant. At a key moment in the story it became intense and I had moments which made me think back at all that happened in the last 3 hours and how clear everything felt. Not only storywise it was a WOW moment but also gameplay related.

    If you value highly emotional games, give it a try.    … Expand

    This is the only game I ever saw where you play multiple characters at once. It's a unique experience with an amazing story and good graphics. Only thing I asked myself is why there is no support for local multiplayer...

    Brothers, unlike many recent indie hits, is very down to earth. It is not rife with intellectual puzzles like Braid, it is not as open to interpretations as Journey. It just makes you think about simple human values.

    A gorgeous world, bursting with personality. Great storytelling makes up for the short length and unchallenging puzzles.

    Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is a true marriage of gameplay and narrative, and it is frankly a complete triumph.
