It could be likened to Journey and Flower but I found those two boring and thought Brothers was miles better than them. Despite its short length, Brothers remains one of my favourite game experiences and I consider it a masterpiece. One of the few games I have replayed and no doubt I will play it again in a couple of years. A lovely short game that you won't regret buying. The puzzles are simple, you might have to ponder them for a minute, or two at times but they are simple and if they were challenging it would slow down the adventure too much and that's what this game is - an adventure. You will be constantly active in gameplay, it's not a visual novel but it just leaves that feeling of a completed story. It's hard to describe a game like this but when I finish it, it feels like I have just sat through one of my favourite films. I found Y's Origin to be amazing for this harmony of game elements too. I always find that games that feel whole like this are often the most immersive and therefore most enjoyable. The gameplay, story, sound and graphics fit together perfectly. The graphics and sound are very fitting for the game and the world varies a lot in design from stage, to stage and some fun little means of transport are occasionally thrown in.


The game is foreign language but there is virtually no dialogue and it plays out a beautiful story. I don't know if a game has been done this way before but it was new to me and fun. This makes for some funny brain frying moments when the brothers swap sides on the screen and it is a great mechanic. 1 joystick and shoulder button for one brother and 1 joystick and shoulder button for the other. So anyway the game is a short puzzle game, around 4 - 5 hours. I played this on PS4 originally and didn't even notice a difference. I can't understand the 3/10 score here due to a few graphical elements that haven't come over in the port.
