Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons shows how a game has to look that in the absence of language the plot is able to carry on the shoulders of the characters. Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons is about the story of two brothers whose mother has already died and whose father is dying. From the father's doctor they learn of a special ingredient that can still heal the father and save him from the inevitable death. The two brothers then set off to explore landscapes that are so different and bubble over with the developers' love of detail that art is the only appropriate expression for the game world. I'm in the middle of playing this. What is conveyed here in emotions I recently felt in Bioshock Infinite for/by/with Elizabeth and alone this personal connection to the protagonists of the game makes it stand out from the crowd and lifts it onto a pedestal on which Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons towers above the masses. If you don't want to or can't get involved with the story, you will at least enjoy the controls, because you don't control one, but both brothers at the same time with an analog stick and the shoulder buttons. Control alone requires a certain amount of thinking, as there are many puzzles in the game that can only be solved by moving both characters simultaneously. The end and many other passages leave you speechless and pause in front of the screen - a masterpiece. No more, no less.
