Capsule Review: Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
A puzzle platformer where you simultaneously control two brothers who must work together to navigate the environment and achieve goals. It isn’t perfect - there are some learn-by-dying portions and the achievement design is awful - but it’s really interesting and there isn’t anything else quite like it. It’s got dialog-free characterization, beautiful scenery and music, powerful atmosphere, and unique mechanics, some of which are actually used to convey story. It’s worth your time, clocking in around three hours, but be warned that this is not a happy game. Death surrounds you and not everyone can be saved.
I Stopped Playing When: I finished the game.
Four Stars: Great. Not only did I finish the game, I probably played through the whole thing again and/or completed any optional objectives. It's an easy recommendation for any genre fan.
