Are video games art? That question is offensive, as in recent years, we have seen games that stand out for their captivating story, excellent artistic direction, ingenious level design, and emotional soundtrack. One of the titles that encompasses all these elements is so good that even Phil Spencer recommends it to gamers.
We are talking about none other than Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, the acclaimed independent title directed by Josef Fares. It will soon return with a new version that will enhance the visual aspects, performance, and gameplay. Thus, the head of Microsoft Gaming took the opportunity to recommend it to the community.
"I highly recommend it," Phil Spencer praises Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
Recently, 505 Games shared a new trailer for the remake of the 2013 classic. Phil Spencer responded to this post to praise the original work and ensure that it is one of the best works by the director of Hazelight Studios.
"When asked about games that bring emotion to gameplay, Brothers is one that I always highlight. The combination of story, mechanics, and that ending comes together in a unique way. If you haven't played it yet, I highly recommend it. Play until the end, one of Josef Fares' best works, in my opinion," commented the Xbox executive.
The remake of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons was leaked on December 6, 2023. Fans had to wait a short time to see the first official trailer, as the existence of the project was confirmed during The Game Awards gala. Fortunately, the release is very close.
The new version of the narrative game will debut on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on February 28. While the original version boasts a Metacritic score of 86, the remake follows suit with an average score of 80. Some critics applaud the improvements in the visual department but claim that the re-release is quite basic.
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is a cooperative game that tells the story of two brothers embarking on a dangerous journey into the unknown to find a cure that can save their sick father. Since its original release in 2013, it has received praise for its emotional narrative and level design that combines exploration and environmental puzzle-solving.
