Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons is a must play.
It's an excellent visual novel where you play as two brothers who set out on an adventure to cure their ailing father. You manoeuvre both brothers at once with a unique control scheme (each brother is assigned to an individual analog stick) and explore their different traits to complete numerous puzzles. Whilst some may consider the game to be a 'walking simulator' (the puzzles are easy), the narrative encourages you to continue playing as you explore vast landscapes and meet new characters throughout your journey. Whilst the game is short, the story is well-paced and you can see the Studio Ghibli inspiration as you play.

I completed the game in one sitting and would recommend that you do the same; so block out your calendar for three hours, grab a coffee and get the tissues ready.

Score: 88/100

Early Access Review
I really enjoy this game, however the developers will need to work on optimising it because it is nowhere near perfect at this stage. My rig is slightly dated but still pretty decent (GTX 770; i7-950) yet I get around 42 FPS per game with drops on medium/high settings (including shadows on low in config file). Whilst this does not affect melee gameplay too much, ranged gameplay is very difficult due to the drops.

After starting a game, my GPU temp increases to above 70 C (normal temps: 28 C idle, 45 C most games) and the game will crash once this temperature reaches 80 C after a couple of games, which is incredibly frustrasting in a team game with a friend.

This is understanable for a game on early access and I hope the devs can fix these issues.

Whilst I have only played this for 2 hours at the time of writing this review, my first impression of this game is excellent. Buy it now!

Fantastic game.

I really enjoyed the main storyline but the idea of your decisions actually affecting the story increases the replayability by 100%.

If you're going to play this game, go in as blind as you can. Good luck!
