Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is a masterpiece in storytelling and co-op gameplay. Navigating dual characters in a visually stunning world feels like a cinematic journey. The emotional impact lingers long after the game ends. A must-play for its unique and moving experience.
A very beautiful short game, despite this game being about 10years old, it still has its charm,,,,, You can play it with a friend of solo,, but i recommend keyboard instead of a controller if you're gonna be playing this interactive beautiful game with someone else...
Is this game with same disscount for PS5 in this platform?

I am new in this platform so I just started to get usted to use it, so please let me know if is possible to get it for PS5
  • Disscount
  • Ps5?
An excellent game with a excellent story, game is very interesting and fun to play, especially getting all of the achivements on steam because they are easy to miss. everyone should play this game at least once!!!
  • Interesting
  • excellent atmosphere
  • excellent soundtrack
  • Good graphics
  • minor bugs
  • Controller is needed for the best experience
Game is good it has interesting story and its fun to play i saw some minor bugs buts that okay for a indie game. all in all i recommend this game to everyone to have some good time with your friend maybe.
  • interesting game
  • minor bugs
For me, one of the BEST platform adventure games I ever played.
This game is a masterpiece. The story is so drive and wonderful, and full of emotions with the most beautiful music on the side.
The game is a little too short, but it is so worth just for the story and adventure
  • Great story
  • Cute graphics
  • Amazing music
  • Fantastic atmosphere
  • Very short
  • Very hard to play whit k/m
  • Controller highly needed
Beautiful story of the brothers who are getting through various lands in a search of a cure for their dying father. Game requires a controller, such as a pad from PS3 or X360, which makes additional impressions of boys controlling. Plot of the game is a combination of Nordic legends with fantasy tales which associate with games from ICO Studio. I recommend to anyone who likes games with arcade elements, where meaning and depth of adventure stay in memory for a long time.
  • Great story
  • Good graphics
  • Nordic legends
  • Great music
  • Stays in memory
  • Needs a gamepad
Amazing, refreshing game!

Game mechanics are amazing, specially when playing with a friend.
The story is simple yet emotional. I loved it! Only frustrating thing was the fact that I couldn't play with both controllers and my friend had to use the keyboard. Kind of a bummer...

  • graphics
  • music
  • atmosphere
  • playing with 2 controllers doesn't work properly
  • ...
Though there is no clear language spoken in this game, its pretty much understood that two brothers are set out on a journey to find some miracle cure for their father. What makes this game unique is you must control both brothers at the same time, which with the keyboard is especially challenging. Beautiful scenery and a simplified story line.

The keyboard, which I'm told having a controller is much easier, the gameplay is interesting and amazing. There's not any real fighting, but some simple puzzles you must solve to continue on. Well worth the money
  • Nice game in all
  • control not easy
right from the beginning I almost started crying, This Brothes lost mother, ok It got me , But then i play, I had to play in darts and W A S D and this is no nice play its very hard to play im sorry :)
  • This game is nice in Grafick
  • This game is for two player in one house no for MP
