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.
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.

-Pleasant presentation
-Simplicity in its controls and puzzles but not overly so
-Emotional in its limited storytelling
-Camera control got a little awkward at times
-The quick storytelling was at times a result of really forced moments (those who griped about the Eagles at the end of Lord of the Rings might take issue)
-More personal moments between the brothers could've been focused on to build up their relationship more.
Nordic culture has become so hot in gaming these past few years. This was a beautiful game to get through in an afternoon. Felt like a nice walk through the woods at times and was even a relief to know there wasn’t any secret items to pick up along the way or anything like that. Just an easygoing straight shot to an emotionally impactful result. Controlling two characters at once was not daunting in any way either as the controls were kept very simple. Overall, just a nice, simple, and tightly executed experience.
Really was expecting a lot more, I hardly completed first level, so nothing to add.
I am not sure on this one.
It’s a decent “puzzle/platformer/adventure” with a kind of interesting control scheme and some nifty gameplay mechanics. Art and style design is perfect, so is the sound.
But remove that and the game is kind of boring. It had it’s moment, but for the most part I wasn’t that much engaged. And for seemingly emotion-oriented game it failed to move me at most important times.
Also, very short. 4-5 hours of gameplay time.
Also, seems to be designed for gamepad. Played it on one, but didn’t like it.
I guess I should not recommend this.
