Story

179 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In a medium increasingly failing to convey any sort of real emotional resonance, Brothers delivers a shimmering narrative full of fresh ideas that illustrates just how impactful video games can be.

The soothing music, the characters' animation, and even the game mechanic help you to relate to the characters.
Controls

82 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It’s a unique control scheme for sure, in the sense that this game looks like a co-op game for two players, but is actually a single player game, intended to be played on the same controller.
Graphics

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Perfectly crafted single-player co-op is now a reality as Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons will have you controlling two characters simultaneously (by using the dual joysticks of modern controllers) as you embark on a short, but heartfelt, adventure.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Impressive graphics, quality sound effects & a musical score that drives the emotional impact throughout extremely well.
