Beautiful and Unneededly Heartwrenching
Brothers is a game mainly based one gameplay mechanic. You alone play as both siblings. Objectively, it's a relatively unique mechanic, only seen on rare occasion in the likes of "The Adventures of Cookie and Cream." This original and fun twist is what the game is riding on most of the time, and it does succeed. In my personal opinion, it would have been even better with at least the option to play co-op, because much like Josef Fares other video game, the EA Original "A Way Out," it would be a fun and trust-building experience, but the game still does well as is. Brothers other strong point is it's sweet and sorrowful- albeit unoriginal- story. The two brothers must go on a journey to save their ill father, and the only known cure is the water from the Tree of Life. It's simple and inspiring, and leads to an epic journey, which I might add is brilliantly told with no actual dialogue. The characters speak but their language is a fantasy one and they mainly use body language. It was interesting and fun to learn to understand them as the game goes on. Many people have complained that the game is too short, but in my opinion it is well-paced and long enough for the small price. In short, if you haven't had the experience yet, I highly recommend it. But every game has its drawbacks, and this one's is definitely the ending. I've seen someone here say that it ended on a high-note, which baffled me. I won't give any spoilers, but the game's ending it ruthlessly and completely unnecessarily heartbreaking. A horrible tragedy occurs, and ultimately it's caused by a silly mistake and accomplishes absolutely nothing. Don't get me wrong, I love a sad story told right, but I didn't see the point in this and that upset me greatly. I guess I should've seen the signs. It's a telling point of Josef Fares stories to force an unnecessary and cruel ending on his players. I still recommend it, but be prepared for a harsh ending.
