Lurking beneath the bright and beautiful art style of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is a much darker fairy tale containing the trademarks of all great fantasy—giants, rivers of blood, and supernatural nature! The game’s title pretty well summarizes its plot, and the novel gameplay mechanic of controlling one brother with each hand frustrates at first, but eventually becomes integral to the story. This game journeyed far beyond my imagination of what its narrative would be based on the prologue, conveying emotional depth with simple grunts and panta-miming; the affect cut deep for me. Nevertheless, I’m not sure how much of this game will stick with me in the long haul as its puzzles never engaged my mind enough to make it memorable.
