Whether it’s a pair of cave trolls reunited, a man absolutely wrecked by the death of his family, or even a couple of birds that have been uncaged and found one another again, Brothers never lets the player forget that love is the primary motif for this tale. Regardless of how melancholy things may get, there’s always a love-induced spirit overshadowing everything, for better and for worse. Everything from narrative points to set pieces to isolated incidents that you weren’t even necessarily supposed to find, they all ooze a positively depressing aura that seemed impossible from the outset.Īll of this is made considerably more notable by the fact that Brothers is a love story, or, maybe more accurately, a collection of love stories. I don’t wish to spoil a single instance, but Brothers certainly crescendos throughout the entire experience, as it all becomes progressively more bleak and somber. For a game that sets the tone with such serenity and a lackadaisical carefree attitude, Brothers turns dark and it does so quickly.
