Description
Guide two brothers on an epic fairy tale journey from visionary Swedish film director, Josef Fares, and top-tier developer, Starbreeze Studios.

Control both brothers at once as you experience co-op play in single player mode, like never before.

Solve puzzles, explore the varied locations and fight boss battles, controlling one brother with each thumbstick.

A man, clinging to life. His two sons, desperate to cure their ailing father, are left with but one option. They must set out upon a journey to find and bring back the "Water of Life" as they come to rely on one another to survive. One must be strong where the other is weak, brave where the other is fearful, they must be... Brothers.

This is one journey you will never forget.

Solid story

Puzzles aren't difficult which is a good thing to and not to others. Gameplay was fun with how it utilized the controller and it was short. The story was the best part of the game imo. 8/10

Unexpectedly dark story

Going into this not knowing anything is probably the best, though I might've chosen to play it another time if I had known that the deceptively pretty graphics can lead to a very sad and sometimes quite dark story. Now, I also somehow managed to miss the strong recommendation for a controller - which I'm glad I did, since I don't own one and it is still well playable with a keyboard. The puzzles, albeit simple, are tied well within the story, and since they're intuitive the progress is quite smooth (which in my opinion not many puzzle/story games achieve). The gibberish that the characters occasionally speak was a bit jarring to me, but I sort of understand the decision to forgo actual language, and convey information via other means.

disapointing port...

so where to start... the game sucks, to many games already exist with the gibberish VO work this take in gaming has been done to death and is not endearing in the least. i do not know about others but there does not seem to be any point to having sound in the game at all at this point... not to mention things like being able to understand the plot/story if there was one... the only thing we know for certain is the boys mother died, their father is sick and they have to go on a 'quest' to find medicine sort of, oh and everyone is either indifferent or actively preventing the boys from getting anything... the game mechanics are well, wonky, at the best of times and frustratingly insane at others, also the interaction buttons and keyboard/mouse setup SUCKS!! if you have a controller you might be able to play the game and possibly enjoy, if you do not have a controller prepare for a massive slog of frustration with the controls. the sounds, the music is crap plain and simple... the background sound and 'VO' work will blast your head off because at default it is at 100% and if you have a headset/headphones on it feels like your head is being caved in from the blast of noise... the graphics are ok, massively fuzzy and get worse when the 'camera' gets stuck and you are in close up on one or both of the boys, you cannot see a damn thing beside nasty blur... thanks to this being a port with very little focus given to how graphics would look when on a monitor instead of a tv screen. if you decide to change the keybindings with keyboard/mouse setup, expect those bindings to be completely backwords to what they are supposed to do... almost making it impossible to play the game at all... never ever pay full price for this game/port, you will regret it... even when it is on sale do not pay more than 2-3 dollars at the most, if you want to find out for yourself if you like the game or not (frankly i still suggest trying before you buy), these are my experiences and opions.

Good for children

While the story tries to be moving (and I think kids may like it), the gameplay doesn't even try to be entertaining, but it can be enjoyable from time to time. The game is great in co-op, so why not play it with your kid?

My best game to this day

And I don't expect it to be replaced anytime soon. This game made me feel emotions no other game had before, and if you can find a few hours (maybe 4) to play it in one session, then you should, it's worth it. Can be played with a keyboard, but having a controler will be much better.
