Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons in the test: It's not often that we have a game packs so right that there are still long occupied us even after the credits and that we necessarily want to share with others who have also experienced. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons - of all things created by Swedish shooter specialists Starbreeze Studios - is a quiet, magical adventure. It's more of an experience as the actual game. Although it has mechanisms, puzzles, levels, chapters and opponents, but it is mainly a journey into the unknown. And on this trip you will experience an amazing range of emotions: excitement, exuberance, shock, sadness, triumph and amazement. And all this happens without the Brothers in a single intelligible word is spoken.
It's about life and death!
The game puts you in the role of an unequal pair of brothers - somewhere in an idyllic style similar to Scandinavian myths fantasy world. Its big brother is strong, brave and experienced. The little one is a bit hesitant, dares after the drowning of his mother about not swimming. But this is its size a clear advantage. It has no trouble squeezing through small gaps where his brother, the passage is denied. You control both guys at the same time - and with the two analog sticks of a gamepad. A keyboard control methods are also available, but it proves to be such as bulky that it is the enjoyment of the game in the way. With a pad in hand, however, Brothers turns quickly as clever finger exercise in game design. Alone to steer the brothers together with two sticks by her home village, is demanding. However, with time you will be better and you always accesses the clear level design under the arms.
Your path is fairly linear and is always clear where you need next or what objects are important in a scene. The only important keys are the shoulder buttons of your controller. So the brothers interact with their environment, move lever, climbing tendrils up, rowing boats or push the stretcher with her sick father to the village doctor. That's what the game: You must find a cure, or dies the man! Tricky is the mechanics, as soon as you have to climb. For as long as one of the brothers clings to a ledge or rope, as long you have the shoulder button pressed on the controller, otherwise the boy crashes. This sounds fairly simple, but will always whisked new puzzles and challenges. The calls at times, frustrated here and there a little, but is never unfair or really hard. The way the sense of adventure and magic is at Brothers the goal more important than solving crisp as possible puzzles.
A fairy tale for adults
After the adventure starts quite slowly and you explore the local village and vicious dogs out of the way goes, the gameplay is quite fast-paced and adventurous soon. You will meet Fable characters, explored a mine full of strange equipment, increases top up, crosses creepy forests, the bathroom survives in a waterfall and visited the scenes of past battles. Impressed by the minute and captivates the more. Again and again the co-op game mechanics is re-used, never too long you do the same. And not only the scenes are amazing, even the journey of two brothers is becoming more adventurous. Regularly change surprisingly the scene unexpectedly something happened - some leaves you amazed a few breathtaking shudder you.
And again and again captures the splendid camera is happening quite wonderful fit a. Even if the animations are sometimes a bit wooden, the character models are not the most detailed and the console roots of the game are too obvious - Brothers is like a playable fairy tale for adults. One feels that here the Swedish director Josef Fares (Kops, Jalla! Jalla!) Had a hand in that. And we would be now all the brilliant moments that describe the inventiveness and the scenes of the game exactly. But that can work it right, we will stay with our suggestions and are not tired of repeating: Brothers is moving, surprising, unique and for us one of the most thrilling games of the year!

One of the most thrilling games of the year!
It is just three hours, the PC port provides only the most important options, not even full HD resolution, keyboard control is pretty messed up and you should urgently play with controller. That sounds like a botch. And quite honestly, the first hour I felt Brothers to simply as' made really nice and personable. " But then it went really begins and the game took me on a journey that I do not have so come see. This trip I was shocked, moved, excited and can always amazed - just because it does not follow any genre rule and because the game mechanics emphasizes all the experience. No, it's not perfect. But who wants to Story, who wants to be kidnapped by a game so right from the real world and who can engage in the headstrong control, the Brothers will hopefully get me just as full! What a game!
