One of the more poignant scenes is when you stop a man from hanging himself as one brother climbs the tree to cut the rope and ultimately saves his life. While one brother may not get any information out of the newcomer and is told to go away, the other sibling may use their charm to further them on their travels.Īs endearing as the story is, there is a much darker side to it that you witness as you progress further. I do, however, love that each brother has their very own personality and skill set that shines through, especially when they approach a stranger on their journey.

Although I do understand that this game is more a story being told through animation rather than conversation, I still found it irritating at times.

The dialogue between Naiee and Naia was initially quite cute but, like so many things in this title, it began to grate on me with the gobbledygook language with no subtitles. Thankfully, this was the only time that I felt somewhat confused as the gameplay is extremely basic with puzzles that don’t require a lot of skill, if any. Controlling only a single brother, I sometimes got confused on which one I was leading to a few heated words on why I wasn’t moving or why I was going in a different direction. It soon became more manageable after a while, but not particularly enjoyable due to some movements like hanging and swinging not being very responsive, ultimately leading to my demise off a cliff or sliding face first off a wall.Īlso, being in such a tight-knit environment without any place to go other than the path became quite frustrating. At first, navigating one of the brothers while my gaming partner took charge of the other, was a really clunky experience.

When Brothers initially launched, you manipulated each brother’s movements at the same time but 505 Games decided to make the most of Switch’s heavy support for local multiplayer games by dividing control between players, although you can still play solo if you wish. The narrative of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons revolves around two brothers named Naiee and Naia who have no choice but to take on the harrowing endeavor of trying to save their ill father by going off and gathering special water from the Tree of Life, as this is the only thing that can keep their gravely sick father from death.
