About Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons

Brothers is presented from a third-person view overlooking the two brothers. The brothers are moved individually by two thumbsticks on the controller. The controller triggers also cause the respective brother to interact with the game world, such as talking to a non-player character or grabbing onto a ledge or object.

The older brother is the stronger of the two and can pull levers or boost his younger brother to higher spaces, while the younger one can pass between narrow bars. The player progresses by manipulating the two brothers at the same time to complete various puzzles, often requiring the player to manipulate both brothers to perform differing functions (such as one distracting a hostile non-player character while the other makes their way around).

Should either brother fall from a great height or get injured, the game restarts at a recent checkpoint. All of the in-game dialogue is spoken in a fictional language, thus the story is conveyed through actions, gestures and expressions.

    Never finished it in one sitting, played maybe twenty minutes at a time over a week, and it still hit hard by the end even in short bursts.

    Pareil de mon côté, RiME reste joli mais s'essouffle vite comparé à lui.

    Tromp53

    Twenty minutes at a time and it still wrecked you, that's the whole point people who rush it seem to miss.

    Played it back to back with Fallen Order last year, maybe 4 hours total, and this one stuck with me way longer despite being shorter.

    Je l'ai fait avec mon petit frère, chacun un stick, et on n'arrêtait pas de se marcher dessus au début.

    Remis dedans récemment avec une manette moderne, les contrôles à deux sticks séparés demandent un vrai temps d'adaptation aujourd'hui encore.

  4. ArcadeMaster

    Comparado con RiME, este maneja mejor el ritmo y la emoción sin apoyarse tanto en el puzzle.

    Funny how these duel threads always turn into RiME comparisons, I wonder if it ever gets matched against Fallen Order in the same way.
