Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake Review - Is This Remake Worth Playing?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- More than a decade on from the launch of the original Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Avantgarden and 505 Games have brought it back in the form of a remake. In being as faithful to the source material as it is, the remake successfully captures its biggest strengths - from its incredibly effective storytelling to vibrant, fairy tale-esque setting - but at the same time, its faithfulness also raises questions about whether or not it’s worth a purchase for those who’ve already played the original.
That Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is a really good game isn’t in doubt in the slightest, and there’s also no doubt that its remake does a great job of modernizing it for current hardware- but mileage will definitely vary on whether it’s worthy of a pickup.

As someone who played the original, trust me when I tell you this is a MUST BUY. The graphics are beyond amazing and it is just another reason to revist Josef Fares' Classic!
The comments: The graphics are beyond amazing!!
The review: The graphics are no behemoth, but yeah..
i just finished and i thought that water is magic it wasn;t and when someone is gone is gone!
I never found the controls frustrating in the slightest.
Played the original yesterday, it fucks my brain to control both characters at the same time, and often confuse them.
@@kodorogames easy! get a friend
How can you say that it is a fateful remake when it shits all over the originals art style ?
What do u mean shit smh, like I love how fan of the original they got this in there mind that the game need to have the artstyle and if didn't it not good, u just made that thing in ur mind, I don't think the devs have that in there minds and they are happy to have a visual upgrade
To the old players this is not for you its for the players who haven't experience it.
So stop complaining.
I didn't realize the original was a decade old already.. Time flies! I def like games along the lines of Ico and Rain but I tend to overlook them for whatever reason as far as playing through
It’s a game I do love. Haven’t played in many years. If a game is remade. I’ll be happy to purchase and replay this great game.
Really liked the original. Excited to play it in co op with someone else now
i've played the original 2 years ago for the 1st time and it was perfect and the remake is not necessary at all
your existence isn't necessary
Wahhh wahhh wahhhhhh! People shouldn’t enjoy this game because it’s now how I originally played it! Wahhhhhh!
As a gamer I would love to enjoy Both, It's a beautiful game
I just bought it. Never played it, im really hating that the 2nd player has to use the right stick to navigate
You'll get used to it. it's part of the story and a better experience
I don't know witch version is the best, but watching the gameplay the improved graphics don't seem to make much of a difference, although I guess it's hard to know until you have it full size on your own screen. What looks strikingly different though are the cut scenes. They look stunning here. I'm not sure what I prefer though. I really liked the way the cut scenes were constructed in the original and am unsure if the completely reconstructed scenes give the same emotional impact.
Something the review didn't touch upon is the music. The music sounds very different, or is it just me? Not sure what I think about that. Sounds too upbeat and cartoony. The original had a cartoony graphicsl style and setting but a less cartoony tone and story. The music make it sound a little like a platformer. I don't know.
I'm cautiously positive, I think.
Loved it , still remember the original though!
I can't disagree with the controls critique enough. There are plenty of story driven adventure games with puzzle mechanics. There is exactly one story driven adventure game with puzzle mechanics where you control 2 characters simultaneously with one controller using a dedicated analog stick for each character. The controls are the single thing separating this game from the sea of similar games. This control scheme will always be novel.
So far this game has been interesting. I usually play racing and action games so it's different.
local coop possible on xsx?
It looks so fun but is it only for 2 players? can I play this myself?
You can play it alone. Each analog stick controls 1 brother
Yes, in fact it's not really 2-player. You control both characters with one controller (unless you want to hold one end of the controller and your friend holds the other).
@@hydroshock1853 you're wrong, you can play with two controllers in co-op
@@Derbster1981 If that's the case, I haven't found how, I looked.
It has to be the remake though
You should call the dog with another brother, while first one is running, and then vica versa.
It's perplexing to me they even put in the time to remake this.
Of course, this Remake worth buying and playing. Without any questions.
Complaining about the core element of the controls, literally the thing that made this game so unique, shows that people like this should not be reviewing games.
Should I buy it if I haven't played the original
Time to cry again
This isn't a remake. It's a remaster.
Genuinely can't fathom why they thought it needed a remake, business reasons aside. The simple look of the original worked perfectly in contrast with the more grim aspects of the story, this just looks like any other shiny indie UE copy/pasted game.
I had no idea this game existed and now I’m extremely interested. I wouldn’t care to play the original if someone told me about it. But I care now that it’s remade. Cry about it
@@neeks3782 Style over substance enjoyer, gotcha
The remake looks really good with the new trees and foliage, nice lighting, cutscenes, etc.
They added coop
remake as dlc would better 5$
If depression was a game this would be it.
"A remake that faithfully brings all of its strengths forward" - utter nonsense! As soon as I saw the clip of them running from the dog between the hay bails and jaunty, silly music was playing, I knew this remake was completely out of whack! That's not at all the original tone of the game. No piece of music in the original ever sounded like that, and that's because this game's story is a grim, Scandinavian inspired fairytale, not some jolly Disney bullshit!
This glowing review - apart from proving the writer doesn't know what the hell he's talking about when comparing it to the original - also simply proves how visually tone-death some people are, where they think 'higher fidelity' graphics means 'better visuals'. Any video that puts the remake side by side with the original (not this one you might notice - wouldn't surprise me if they were shills) will see how woefully lazy and uninspired these new visuals are, with completely toned down lighting, lacking in contrast and dramatic dynamics, giving everything a very flat, boring visual style, and completely losing in its generic Unreal blandness the soft-edged, pastel-based storybook colours and lines of the original. Meanwhile the controls and puzzle design of the original appear to be almost unchanged, so really all you're paying for here is a worse looking and sounding experience. For those that have never played the original then, this remake is NOT THE BEST WAY to play this excellent game - save your money and don't support lazy remakes!
You are a whiner. Lol
Should have had online coop
Default settings DLSS Balanced on a 4070 WTF ... I wouldn't mind if these games looked good enough to warrant the extreme hardware requirements but they don't. UE5 needs fixing.
I literally just finished playing the original and saw there was a remake ;-;
Ignoring the stupid old and new sense, the game is good or not? Ignore if is old or new, compared to the first game, something is different?
(I need to say that, people fight just because there is a old version)
This "remake" seem more like a remaster imo
Its looks nice but its graphically too demanding for its looks
Love this game!
Please forgive GamingBolt for not knowing the best time playing this game is splitting the controller for co-op.
Just a warning: There is very little "game" inside, it's more of an interactive experience. I beat the game in only one hour by using a speedhack to fast forward the custscenes and make the movement faster.
Is it on disc or just download
Is this now multiplayer or not
did you watch the video?
NO !
@@squirts1yes got the answer thanks, it has co op
The controls are the point of the game lol
Cinematics in remake are wierd they move like bad actors in a theater. Original game have the Best animations for cutscenes. Also the faces are really wierd, i cannot get immersed in the game just because of the faces, especialy the younger Brother face.
No just play the original
The original looks like crap this is for those who haven’t played it and can’t play the old one because it looks way too old
@@lindsm6314 the original looks fine stop embarrassing yourself son....
@@DigontoZahid-lc7ktbro thinks he cool, the one who are cringe now is u
@@DigontoZahid-lc7kt”fine” 🤣
Cause you just human can't really enjoy everything In your life you can't be satisfied with anything, so what's the harm in just trying after all it's just an upgrade to better graphics and maybe some better cutscene changes
This looks worse than the original. It lost that art style from the original
Disagree. "Green grass" syndrome.
@@Psychotoxic86people are blinded by nostalgia
@@lr6776 you two are dense af its literally changed the stylised art
thicker skulled than ambrosia custard
You and every neckbeard who played this in 2013 have the same exact tired take 🥱 just let people enjoy it you whiney cry babies
@@Psychotoxic86 Disagree. "Realistic is better" syndrome!
Price ?
Can you play on two controllers?
I would like to know this too
This should have released on xbox game pass or equivalent, missed oppurtunity!
how long is the game how’s reply value
0 replay value, once you solve a puzzle it will be the same at a re-run.
It's story heavy no replay value unless you go for achievement. Very emotional though
Pickle, pancakes?
Oof 3hrs i guess ill wait for a sale
Worth Playing? r u f******* kidding me?
They should have added an option to play as a single kid while the ai controls the other.....while also keeping the option to control both as in the original.
Should have vastly reduced the frustration for both new as well as old players.
You can play single player, 2 player isn't required.
Can this be played on the steam deck?
what you can't afford a real monitor? LOL
It can but not optimally
the old one runs well. the new one is trash.
Yeah I bought the bundle old and remake and the old one looks and run way better on the steam deck than the remake hopefully the remake gets a steam deck update
@samfisher3272 the steam deck is actually something that only a hardcore gamer would be interested in. They likely have a monitor and just want to play it on a neat handheld gaming pc you goobie snoobert
this remake sucked so bad im gonna throw up. the hyperrealistic uncanniness of the boys hurts to look at. the spider sequence was especially egregious. this is BROTHERS not a fucking marvel movie why change OSTs and designs so much. this remake is a shell of the former game and a shameless cash grab
You don't mention performance issues at all? That's a dislike from me
How much is it?
20 dollars and you get a discount if you own the original (devs haven't confirmed how much yet I don't think)
My left and right thumb doesn't enjoyed this.
I wish it was 2 player
It is 2 player co-op (optional).
Me and my brother played the original together by sharing a single controller lol.
on pc you can play on keyboard.
It is.
They should have added more content to make it worth it..
Pilz mobile game 😢😢
It is even not funny.
Some of you are completely hopeless.
The original is already on mobile.
Another needless remake/ re-release all because of the playstations crappy back compatability catalogue
Each brother has his own action button assigned to one of the triggers. You become accustomed to using both buttons. One brother dies, and uoi can’t do certain things alone. But then you use the dead brothers button. Suddenly you can complete the difficult task, because he is with you in spirit. There, I saved you a few bucks.
Dong give spoilers…..
Is this an actual remake or a remaster?
