In those stories there are dozens of small interactions that will stick with me for quite some time. But be warned that in your haste you’ll miss out on a bevy of side-stories and subtle moments of characterization that help mold this adventure into something truly special. If you want to simply charge through each area and solve their simple puzzles with the sole purpose of progressing through the story, you’re given the option to do just that. Thankfully these close-ups don’t occur very often, and when they do, Brothers quickly replies with something new and amazing.īrothers is also extremely innovative in how it leaves much of its worldbuilding and character development in our hands.

This isn’t too big of a problem when the camera is zoomed out a bit, but anytime I was forced to take a close look at a character model pulled me out of the experience quite quickly. Sadly, the characters aren’t crafted with the same visual love as the world itself. The settings never failed to wow me, and the ways that Brothers continually drops you into new and interesting locales is absolutely fantastic. Though your adventure begins in a Nordic-inspired village filled with pleasant townsfolk and simple stories, you’ll eventually make your way to ancient battlefields where the rivers flow with blood, frozen lakes that contain unknown horrors beneath the ice, and prisons perched high atop lonely castles.
