    This is a fairy tale of "hope" and two brothers will bring the weight to the end.

    Sense of wonder, emotions and clever approach make for an overall brilliant game that goes well beyond its technical limits.

    Brothers is a beautiful tale of love and loss. A marvelous adventure that will hit your heart.

    Enchanting and unique, this is a very welcome new member of the PS4 family.

    The worldless storytelling is some of the most compelling of the year and the purposefully frustrating control system an outrageously daring experiment.

    The best way to play the game on consoles and it's very much worth playing if you're yet to experience it.

    Style and emotions remain deliciously unchanged, yet this re-release on current generation consoles isn't exactly a luxurious one (and it's even pricier than before...).

    This game is a story telling master piece. First, lets talk about the beauty of this game. It looks gorgeous, and I believe it could competeThis game is a story telling master piece. First, lets talk about the beauty of this game. It looks gorgeous, and I believe it could compete with 2019 graphics. Now the story is well made. It focuses on the two sons (Brothers) and doesn't drift away from there story too much. Now there still is a story with their mother, and father, but it emotionally ties in with the brothers frustration and depression. I could awe about the story line all day, but theirs also some neat mechanics within each chapter of the game that gives brothers a unique taste. One other thing I like about Brothers is its co-op when playing with people. Doing puzzles with Friends or Family is very fun.
    I hope you buy this game, it would be a very pleasant experience with friends, and family, or just as a standalone experience.    … Expand

It captures a sense of real wonderment and intrigue which is no easy feat. Another positive is how it captures the strong brotherly bond between the two main characters by having the player control the pair of them at the same time. The puzzles are very simplistic but I feel they are just about enough to satisfy most players. The story is solid and never boring while managing to fit in quite a lot considering the game's short runtime. Overall, it's well worth a playthrough.… Expand

    Interesting idea and concept. Even though there is no words in the game you can still get attached to these characters. And what a unique wayInteresting idea and concept. Even though there is no words in the game you can still get attached to these characters. And what a unique way to play the game with both joysticks. Also the length was great and it didn't overstay its welcome.… Expand

    Очень душевная, трогательная история про братьев, отправящихся в непростой путь за лекарством, чтобы спасти своего отца. Геймплей оченьОчень душевная, трогательная история про братьев, отправящихся в непростой путь за лекарством, чтобы спасти своего отца. Геймплей очень необычный, каждый брат управляется стиком на геймпаде, в связи с чем порой происходит путаница в их управлении, благо сам геймплей несложный. Локации в игре встречаются самые разные, даже есть жутковатые, игра не сюсюкается с игроком и не стесняется демонстрировать "взрослые" эпизоды. Все механики завязаны на взаимодействии братьев, причем нет никаких отметок или указателей, игрок должен понять сам, что нужно делать. И благодаря великолепному лвлдизайну, ты интуитивно разбираешься в ситуации и находишь решение для той или иной задачки. Сюжет сильная сторона игры, именно он двигает тебя играть дальше. Игра короткая, но оставляет впечатление что прошел ты долгий путь, придя к финалу. Советую.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My niece recommended this to me, with the strong caveat that there was a sibling death. Even so, I was devastated. (I lost my sister 5 years ago) But strong feelings are feelings, and they are good.

    And I *loved* it. It was so, so hard for me at first, and I had to keep moving my joysticks so the younger one was physically on the right so that I didn't send someone the wrong way (thankfully, it's hard to make them fall off cliffs in most places).

    Incredibly creative to make a game that hardly uses *anything* on the controller save the triggers and joysticks. *wow* And without understanding anything they said, the two boys are so expressive and athletic and loving and inventive. I wish it had been longer.    … Expand
