The games puzzles are not very difficult and will likely be obvious to you at your first attempt which helps the stories forward momentum but adds little for gamers looking for a challenge. The world you are in and the characters you play, Naiee and Nyaa, speak a fictional language so clues you need to gather are portrayed in the action being displayed on screen and not understood verbally and this adds so much to the game, focusing your attention on the expressions of the characters and preventing your eyes from leaving your television screen for too long a period thus drawing you deeper and deeper into the world of the game. With that emotional burden upon their shoulders you set off on your quest through beautiful villages and lands encountering raging seas, trolls, giants, caves and battlegrounds. Having already been shown an emotional scene detailing the demise of the boy’s mother, the importance of saving their father is intensely felt. This has led me to play some utter tripe but also some beautiful masterpieces but which category does “Brothers” fit into?īrothers: A Tale of Two Sons is an adventure/puzzle game brought to us by Starbreeze Studios, more known for games like Syndicate and The Darkness, which tells the story of two brother’s quest to find a magical tree where they need to collect water that will save their dying father. Gaming time for me is often limited for family reasons so while I would love to immerse myself in a huge 150 hours plus world of exploration, I don’t often have the time so instead delve into the large collection of arcade games available on Xbox live for a shorter experience.
