Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is a 2013 adventure game developed by Starbreeze Studios and published by 505 Games for Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Nintendo Switch, and Amazon Luna. The narrative takes place in a fantasy world filled with fictitious creatures such as orcs and trolls, where two young brothers set out on a journey to find a cure for their father's illness. The game is often mentioned as an example of artistry in video games due to its heavy narrative. It received positive reviews from critics and had sold over 800,000 units by January 2015.
Runs well on modern hardware.

I like the game but the fact that there are two versions of this game and full functionality (two players mode) is available only in another version is a scam
This was a blast. Josef Fares’ first game, so why wouldn’t it be, right? Zero spoken words - dozens of stories. It’s really short, about three hours total, so give it a chance if you, like me, somehow left Brothers sitting in your backlog all these years.
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is the first project from the developer that would later become Hazelight, with other cooler titles like A Way Out, It Takes Two and Split Fiction, published by Electronic Arts. This game, honestly, seems pretty good to me. The co-op mode is nice, and solving the puzzles has its charm. The story, as sad as it is, seems good to me, quite solid. I want to try the remake, to see how it’s done. Some people say it’s kind of crappy, but we’ll see how it turns out. So yeah, I recommend it. It might be quite uncomfortable to play it with a single controller, as it’s designed that way. Maybe it would be better to play it remotely through Parsec.
