Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons can be played in about 3 hours, and that's about how long it'll take to make you cry.

Brothers is a unique game, in that you control two characters at the same time. A frustrating mechanic, as you're using one joystick (or set of directional keys) to control one character, and the other joystick/keys to control the other. It becomes confusing, keeping track of two characters being controlled by one person... but then again, I was never good at piano either. So. Perhaps pianists will have an easier time playing this game.

That all said, the story is incredible. Following two brothers as they search for a cure for their sick father, the game takes the player across a fantasy world inspired by Swedish folklore. Encountering monsters, puzzles, and colorful storybook environments made for a playthrough I won't soon forget.

I played through this on my YouTube channel in two parts, and my full thoughts can be found there:

I'll leave it at that, as I do not want to spoil the game in this log.
