Story
First, we start with the most important and best part of the game, its story. This section reveals the first five minutes of the game. The game starts with a cutscene that makes us share the sadness of the little brother from the very beginning. He sits crying on his mother's grave and remembers the scene of her death. He remembers that he tried to save the mother from drowning, but he did not have the strength to do it. Then the older brother calls him to take the father, who is in a critical condition, to the village doctor. The doctor says that there is nothing he can do. It seems that the grief of this family does not end and the grief and suffering of the death of a loved one is going to fall on them in a different way. But there is a way for the father to survive, and that is to find the elixir of life, which is far away, but there is no other way to find it. The game makes us deeply involved and sympathize with this family almost in the first cutscene. Definitely, the game cannot remain so dark and sad until the end, and we will witness many ups and downs, joys and sorrows, but in general, there is a sadness hidden throughout the game, as if from the creators' point of view, it is the reality of this world and it should be accepted and dealt with. In the game, we will experience adventures that have a strong impact and will remain in our minds for a long time. Stories full of love and hate, of loyalty and betrayal, of honesty and lies, of humanity and villainy, all of which are told very simply in the majority of our childhood legends. Small stories that don't become boring until the end of the game, but look more interesting and original every moment.
A point that runs strongly throughout the game, but completely imperceptibly, is the psychological and resourceful view of the creators on the relationships of the characters. Usually, in a family with two children with an age difference of more than two or three years, the older child takes more responsibility and adheres to the moral principles passed on by the parents to the children. He also has more self-confidence because he won most of his childhood games against his brother. However, the second child often acts smarter and smarter than the first child in proportion to his age. The reason for this is that he has learned a lot from his older sibling and has always been with someone who has more experience than him. In our story, the younger brother always feels guilty and powerless because of blaming himself for his mother's death and is strongly dependent on his older brother. The creators of the Brothers game have completely respected these psychological experiences in their game and have made the deep relationship between these two brothers the heart of the game's story, which greatly increases the value of the game.
gameplay
No matter how much a game has a good and interesting story, it must have a good gameplay in order to be successful. First of all, it is important to mention that the control of this game is special and I personally have not seen this type of control in another game. In this game, we have to guide both brothers at the same time, which will be very challenging whether on the keyboard or the handle. Have you ever tried to draw a circle with one hand and a square with the other? You will have exactly the same challenge in this game. A point that will worry you a little at first, but after about half an hour you will realize that you have gained a new ability and you will be able to control the two brothers relatively easily. Surely this learning will be a very enjoyable experience for you. The clever creators of the game with their genius have made this type of control become a tool to show the closeness of these two brothers, which is better to see for yourself. In fact, if this kind of guidance was about two strangers, it would not be so attractive. The gameplay of the game is also smooth and smooth and its combination with the beautiful scenery of the game brings a pleasant experience.
Regarding game puzzles, we won't see masterpiece puzzles like Limbo or Unfinished Swan games, which are all innovative and creative, but the puzzles are never illogical or boring. The puzzles of the game are neither so simple that they are not attractive nor so time-consuming that they disrupt the good rhythm of the story. But if the puzzles were a little more challenging and required more creativity, we would have seen a better experience overall.
Graphics
The technical graphics of the game naturally have nothing to say against big games with graphics above the 8th generation, but you will definitely admire its quality and be completely satisfied with it. The reason for this is that we are dealing with a 5-hour small independent game that is no more than one and a half gigabytes in size and also has a cartoon theme, and at this scale and compared to similar independent games, the graphics of the game are really high quality.
Unlike technical graphics, artistic graphics in independent or indie games are usually very decisive and sometimes they are considered the winning card of a game. Regarding the artistic graphics of this game, words such as masterpiece, unique or wonderful can only be used. The game is like a journey in a mysterious land, full of beauty. Various environments from caves to frozen mountains. From lush forests to villages with fully dynamic and alive inhabitants. Maybe saying this sentence is repetitive, but it happens a lot in the game that we put aside the handle or the keyboard and just watch. Even for this purpose, benches have been installed in some game areas to sit on and watch the scene in front of you like a painting.
Sound and music
The voice acting in the game is well done and the sounds of nature such as the river and the wind or the howling of wolves and the barking of dogs, the sound of children playing in the village, etc. are completely natural to immerse us in the game as much as possible. The characters in the game speak but not in English, not even in other languages. They speak their own language, which is the invented language of the game and is more similar to the sounds used by early humans. Despite this kind of talking, we will not actually hear a dialogue, but each of their thoughts and feelings can be seen from their faces, the tone of their speech, and their looks. On the one hand, this has created a unique experience in the game that we have never seen anywhere else, and on the other hand, it has taken the game out of space and time, and the connection with its world has become much deeper and closer. In a word, the music of the game is amazing and has doubled the beauty of the game. The simple notes that are played in the main part of the violin playing in the most sad way possible, along with the other instruments that adorn it, are always beautiful and pleasant and caress the soul. A music that is not only completely in harmony with the environment and story of the game, but also can be heard and enjoyed many times outside the game.
Conclusion
Brothers: a tale of two sons is a short but deep journey. It is a dream trip to imaginary lands and regions with original and beautiful landscapes. It is a memorable and adventurous trip. It has a stormy beginning and a very impressive ending that will remain in our minds for a long time. The combination of the game's story with interesting and new gameplay along with beautiful music and unique artistic graphics all at the same time bring the peak of pleasure. Although enjoying so much beauty requires a special and deep audience, its simplicity can be a bridge for the general audience to migrate from huge commercial and repetitive games to small works that flow with love and knowledge.
