Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
122 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its visuals, gameplay and narrative held up perfectly ten years later, and its simplistic yet brief nature ensured no moment outstayed its welcome.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
96 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game has beautiful graphics and engaging dual-character-control cooperative gameplay but also some flaws.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
95 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Nonetheless, if you still find this tricky, one nice addition is the ability to play Brothers in co-op either locally or via Remote Play.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I'm only recommending because I like puzzle games and the mechanics were neat.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
i wish i could not be disappointed in this game, it's visually stunning and the soundtrack is beautiful, both accompanied by a grabbing story that forces you to continue playing with anticipation and curiosity of what happens next. though controlling the two brothers takes some getting used to, which may deter people from playing with how weird it feels to play as both.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A lot of effort and polish went into recreating this classic indie title, and I found it equally enjoyable to re-experience on my beefy main computer as it was to play the original for the first time on the humble Steam Deck.
