Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons

Played this with my son today. Its a co-op game for single player. What that means is you play with Xbox controls. We played on a PC. The Xbox controls left joystick controls the older brother and the right joystick controls the younger brother. The left trigger controls older brother's action/use/climb and the right one, the younger brothers.

I wanted to play the game with my 10 year old son, so I used the keyboard which was the arrow keys and the control button. So I controlled the younger brother and my son controlled the older brother with the Xbox controller.

Graphics - 9/10
Uses the Unreal engine. The graphics are amazing and doesn't require the top of the range PC.



Gameplay - 9/10
Took a bit of getting used to but once you are used to it, its really straight forward. The co-op part was a lot of fun. A bit more difficult if you play the game by yourself.

Story - 10/10
My son and I were both visibly moved by the storyline. I won't say more for fear of spoiling it.



Highly recommended.

The brothers' commitment to their goal and to each other is so strong, the various parts of this game so superbly crafted and woven together, that it's hard not to feel deeply touched when you finally reach the end of the road and see how deftly this game marries its gameplay to its themes in a way few have before.



One of the best stories I've played all year. The game has a way of pulling you in and making accomplishments feel earned. The game mechanics are easy and unique with a controller and help seperate the fact that you're playing as two different characters. The graphics are stunning and the camera positions itself perfectly to capture the depth of the scenery and this helps strengthen the story immensely. For a game that has hardly any dialogue I have never felt a richer story. An Absolute recommend
