'Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons' review

MY OVERALL SCORE 9/10 This is an absolute must play game. It feels like a movie more than a game. The story is so well thought out. It takes you on an emotional roller coaster. A man, clinging to life. His two sons, desperate to cure their ailing father, are left with but one option. They must set out upon a journey to find and bring back the "Water of Life" as they come to rely on one another to survive. One must be strong where the other is weak, brave where the other is fearful, they must be... Brothers.

Brothers a Tale of Two Sons is an adventurous game where two brothers set out on a journey to save their sick father and it seems that it has quite a real life effect while playing. As soon as you enter the game there are a series of options which can help you play the game as per your comfort like making controls more or less visible, giving you guides regarding how to play it, checking out your achievements and credits. It makes us know our level more easily. The next step is going to be selecting the chapters but you need to open the other chapters as only chapter 1 is unlocked, rest of them are still locked. While playing the game, I was quite intrigued by the fact that you can control both the brothers at the same time. But it also created a bit of confusion for me as sometimes you forget which brother you are trying to control. People who are on joysticks might find it a bit more confusing as the controls are tricky but it can be adaptable.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play this game! It’s the holiday season, and there’s no better time to play a game that emphasizes the strength of family bonds. Then again, with its satisfying puzzles, vibrant backdrops, and emotional musical score, there really isn’t a bad time to play Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, even if the dual control scheme takes getting used to. TIME PLAYED I’ve spent around two hours on this game and got to chapter three. This gave me enough time to see a variety of puzzles the game had to offer, get chased by a crazy dog, traverse a cave, and make friends with a giant!
